Roles You Can Hire Nearshore

September 18, 2026

RapiStaffing places nearshore talent across five broad categories: administrative and operations support, sales and marketing, creative and content, technology, and finance. Below is the full list of roles we regularly place, organized by category, with what each role typically owns and where to go for a deeper hiring guide when one exists. Every role listed here is available through our standard vetting process at our flat nearshore rate, no matter which category it falls under.

Administrative & Operations

Sales & Business Development

Marketing & Creative

Technology

Finance & Ecommerce

  • Bookkeeper and Accounting Assistant — day-to-day books, reconciliations, and AP/AR support. See Hire a Bookkeeper for what to check before you hire.
  • Ecommerce & Shopify Virtual Assistant — listing management, order support, and store operations. See our ecommerce VA guide.
  • Real Estate Virtual Assistant — transaction coordination and administrative support for real estate teams, within the bounds unlicensed assistants can legally perform. See our real estate VA guide.

How to Decide Which Role to Hire First

If you're not sure where to start, work backward from what's actually consuming your time or your team's time right now. A founder buried in email and scheduling needs a virtual assistant before a marketing hire. A team with a full pipeline but no one qualifying leads needs an SDR before a second closer. A growing store with no one managing listings and returns needs an ecommerce VA before a paid media specialist. Hiring the role closest to today's actual bottleneck, rather than the role that sounds most strategic, is consistently the faster path to ROI.

What Every Role Includes

Regardless of which role you hire, RapiStaffing's process is the same: candidates are vetted for English fluency, role-specific skill, and time-zone overlap with your team before you ever see a profile, there's no upfront placement fee, and pricing runs at a flat rate of your candidate's U.S.-equivalent salary. See our services for employers for the full process, or go straight to hire with RapiStaffing to get started.

FAQ

Can I hire more than one role at a time?
Yes. Many clients start with one role to validate fit and process, then expand to a small team once the first hire proves out. There's no minimum commitment that requires bundling roles.

What if the role I need isn't listed here?
Contact us directly, we source for roles outside this list regularly and can tell you quickly whether it's a fit for nearshore hiring.

How is pricing different across roles?
Pricing scales with the U.S.-equivalent salary for the role and seniority level, not a flat per-role rate, a senior developer and an entry-level VA are priced differently. Contact us for a quote specific to the role and seniority you need.
