CloudTask vs Recruiters | LATAM Talent Hiring
Recruiters charge a placement fee — typically 15 to 25 percent of first-year salary — and then they're done. If the hire doesn't work out, you start over and pay again. CloudTask charges one all-in monthly rate, the talent is pre-vetted, and the model is built for the placement to succeed.

|---|---|---|
| Fee Structure | One all-in monthly rate | 15 to 25% of first-year salary, one-time |

| If It Doesn't Work | Pool access, fast replacement | Pay another placement fee |
| GTM Specialization | GTM-only — SDRs, AEs, RevOps, CS | Often generalist; specialist recruiters cost more |
| Time Zone | LATAM — US time zone aligned | Varies |
| Ongoing Support | Managed marketplace with retention focus | Engagement ends at placement |

Why CloudTask Wins vs Recruiters
Recruiters are paid to place, not to retain.
Their incentive ends when you sign the offer. CloudTask's managed marketplace model means ongoing accountability for placement quality.
The math on replacement is brutal.
A failed $60K hire through a recruiter at 20% costs you $12K in fees, plus the cost of the failed hire, plus another $12K to replace them. CloudTask's model does not work that way.
Pre-vetted is not a claim, it's a standard.
CloudTask candidates have cleared a defined GTM-readiness standard before you see them. Recruiter vetting varies from rigorous to a LinkedIn search.
LATAM changes the unit economics.
A CloudTask SDR at a LATAM rate delivers the same pipeline activity at a fraction of the US market cost. No recruiter specializing in US-based sales talent can offer this.
