✲ The Nearshore LATAM Talent Bench for Agencies
Become the agency that always delivers. Profitably.
Ghost Sherpa is the LATAM talent bench for agencies. Project-based, fractional, or full-time capacity that scales with your pipeline, not ahead of it.
Vetted, nearshore talent. US time zones. Embedded under your agency. No over-hiring. No bench you can't afford.

✲ The Challenge
Agencies don't lose money from bad work.
They lose money from bad timing.
You over-hire on optimism. You scramble for freelancers when the pipeline spikes. You carry overhead through the next slowdown. Every cycle, you lose money you should be making.
✲ The Three-Model Difference
Demand isn't one shape.
Neither is our bench.
Most staffing and resource partners force you into one model. We don't. Pick the engagement that fits your demand pattern, not the other way around.

iBeAuthentic Agency
Full-Time Staffing | Marketing
"All businesses today are challenged with finding experienced, talented individuals to support and be partners in their organization… After speaking with Matt we decided to take a different approach and see if we could find team members beyond the borders of our country. So far the results have been beyond expectations and our new team members have fit right in and within weeks brought additional knowledge, experience and skill sets to our team. I would highly recommend investigating this new approach to talent acquisition."
Chuck Salewsky
Founder, iBeAuthentic Agency
Wrapmate
Full-Time Staffing | Creative | QA
Wrapmate is a U.S.-based platform that designs, sells, and coordinates installation of custom vehicle wraps nationwide. Ghost Sherpa staffed an entire embedded team of vehicle wrap designers, QA specialists, and team leads working directly within Wrapmate's workflow. The result: consistent, high-quality wrap design output that scales with order volume, and clients reaching up to 70,000 daily impressions per wrap.

✲ From Our Founder
“I started Ghost Sherpa because I watched agencies win clients and then scramble to staff them. The best ones I'd worked with weren't just good at the work, they were good at fielding a team on short notice. Ghost Sherpa is built to be that team. Vetted talent, embedded under your brand, in your time zones, at a cost that doesn't require you to win the next pitch just to break even.”
✲ FAQs
Answers to Common Questions
Every Ghost Sherpa placement goes through live English proficiency testing, not a written assessment, a real conversation. We staff exclusively in LATAM, which gives 0–3 hours of overlap with anywhere in North America. Most talent works US Eastern or Central hours. They join client calls, write client-ready Slack messages, and show up to standups. They don't read from scripts.
Flat monthly fee per role for fractional and full-time engagements. Fixed project rate for project-based work, one-time or recurring monthly. Low retainer minimums, no recruiter commissions, no hidden markups. We're transparent about what we charge and what we pay.
That's the point of the first call. You share what's going on, the pipeline pressure, the gap, the engagement you're trying to staff, and we help fit it to one of the three models. If none of them make sense for where you are right now, we'll tell you that too.
You do. The work belongs to your agency and, downstream, to your client. We handle the legal infrastructure so you don't have to.
We replace the placement within 90 days at no additional fee and run an honest post-mortem to make sure the next match is sharper. In practice, our replacement rate is low, but the guarantee exists because the risk is real.
Yes, and most of our longest-running placements started this way. We'd rather you scale up the relationship than cycle through new hires every time demand shifts.
Primarily US and Canadian agencies, though we work with a few UK and Australian shops where the time-zone math works. Our talent is LATAM-based, which gives 0–3 hours of overlap with anywhere in North America.
Multiple interview rounds, live English proficiency testing, and skills assessments tailored to the role. You're not sorting a pile, you're choosing from a curated set of three to four people who already meet the bar.
