Livestream

Thursday, February 12th (9 am PST | 11 am EST)

Length: 45 Minutes

Event Details

Latin America has become one of the most strategic talent markets for global companies—but hiring successfully there requires more than headline salary data.

In this webinar, Deel, Vera Works and Leapfrog share exclusive insights from real global hiring data to unpack how the hiring landscape has evolved, where competition is heating up, and what actually influences attraction and retention for international roles.

You’ll leave with a clear, data-driven view of how to compete for Latin American talent today
