SUMMARY In this episode, Clark sits down with Luis Derechin, founder and CEO of NIR-YU, to unpack what really makes offshore and near-shore hiring succeed or fail. Luis shares how his journey from Mexican-born entrepreneur to U.S.-based startup founder led to the birth of NIR-YU, a company helping businesses scale with top-tier Latin American talent. What started as a cost-saving measure turned into a blueprint for remote hiring done right. Through real-world experience and a genuine desire to help companies avoid the common pitfalls, Luis developed the Remote Intelligence Framework, a system designed to keep remote teams aligned, supported, and retained. Together, Clark and Luis explore what most people miss about near-shoring, how to build loyalty across borders, and why mindset, not margins, is the real key to success. This conversation is packed with insights for recruiters, founders, and anyone looking to grow their team globally without sacrificing quality or culture.

 

LUIS' BIO Luis Derechin is the CEO and Founder of NIR-YU, a near-shore staffing company helping U.S. businesses build reliable, scalable teams in Latin America. A lifelong entrepreneur, Luis previously built and sold one of Mexico’s first tech startups to raise U.S. venture funding. Today, he’s on a mission to help companies avoid what he calls “the offshore team death trap” by offering a better, more human-centered way to hire globally. Luis is the author of The Offshore Team Death Trap and creator of the REMOTE Intelligence Framework, a roadmap for companies seeking not just savings, but sustainability. He's based in Mexico City, married for 32 years, and remains a loyal (and long-suffering) Tottenham Hotspur supporter.
