Teams new to AI, roles requiring solid fundamentals plus openness to AI adoption.
AI is built into how they work day to day, not a novelty but a default. Consistently faster cycles and cleaner output on routine work, with the judgment to know where AI helps and where it doesn't.
Most Premium placements. The core of our AI-ready pitch.

| Recruiting fee | ✓$0 | 15–25% agency fee |

Questions & Answers
Everything you need to know about hiring AI-ready LATAM talent through Workana Premium.
Workana Premium is a service that matches US and global companies with pre-vetted, AI-ready remote talent from Latin America. It draws on Workana's pool of LATAM professionals — engineers, designers, marketers, and product and project managers — and delivers a shortlist in 48–72 hours, with no recruiting fee.
Rates run $30–50/hr blended across all roles and tiers, with no recruiting fee and no hidden costs. That is typically 40–60% less than an equivalent US hire, while keeping US-quality output and time-zone overlap.
Workana Premium grades talent into three tiers — AI-Aware, AI-Fluent, and AI-Native. AI-Aware professionals use AI tools to speed up everyday work; AI-Fluent professionals have AI built into their daily workflow by default; AI-Native professionals design AI-first workflows from the ground up and build the tooling themselves.
You receive a shortlist within 48–72 hours of your discovery call. Each candidate is matched to your role, your required AI tier, and your time zone before you ever see them.
You can hire across six functions: Engineering & IT, Marketing, Sales, Customer Support, Product & Project Management, and Design. Roles span the full range from traditional delivery to AI-native specialists, at every AI-readiness tier.
All talent is based in Latin America and works in US-aligned time zones. That means real-time overlap with US teams across the working day — not the partial overlap you get with offshore regions.
Yes — every engagement starts with a 2-week risk-free trial. If the match isn't right, you don't pay for it, and there's no recruiting fee either way.
Every candidate passes a technical assessment, a communication check, and time-zone validation before being shortlisted. Workana has spent 10+ years building and assessing its LATAM talent pool, and AI readiness is now part of that assessment.
AI-ready talent is assessed on how effectively they use AI in their actual work, not just on their core skills. Instead of screening for a résumé, Workana Premium grades each professional into an AI tier (AI-Aware, AI-Fluent, or AI-Native) so you can match the level of AI maturity your team actually needs.
