FAQs for Job Seekers

At workLATAM, employers pay their workers directly, not through our platform. We don’t take a commission or deduct any fees from your salary. The method of payment is decided between you and your employer.

Your payment schedule will depend on the agreement you’ve made with your employer. Typically, workers are paid bi-weekly or monthly. However, we recommend requesting weekly payments when you first start to minimize the risk of working with a new employer.

No, workLATAM is not a "business opportunity". It’s a job board. Employers pay us for access to you – the new employees they want to hire.

• You won’t be paid on commission.
• You won’t need to pay any fees to secure a job.
• You won’t be working on a performance-based pay model unless specifically agreed upon.

This is a legitimate job platform where workers are paid a set salary for performing full-time or part-time tasks for their employers – just as with traditional hiring, you negotiate the salary you want and the frequencey of pay directly with your employer.

Absolutely! Employers on workLATAM are looking for candidates of all skill levels. We expect tens of thousands of workers to successfully find jobs through our platform, and age is not a barrier as long as you are over 18 and legally eligible to work.

workLATAM takes salary disputes seriously and acts as a mediator to help resolve conflicts between workers and employers. We work to understand both sides and negotiate a fair resolution.

• Most disputes occur when an employer is dissatisfied with the work delivered. The key is to ensure quality in your work. We do let employers know that they must pay you for al completed work time, regardless of their professed dissatisfaction. Fee disputes are very uncommon.
• In rare cases where an employer refuses to pay for completed work, we will remove their account and send the remaining balance of their subscription fee to the affected worker.

The tasks depend entirely on the job you apply for, your employer’s needs and your skill set. Common questions to ask a potential employer during an interview include:

• "What are the primary tasks and responsibilities for this role?"

This helps you understand what will be expected of you and ensures clarity about the job’s requirements.

• "What tools, software, or systems do you use to manage tasks and communicate with your team?"

This demonstrates your interest in being efficient and integrating seamlessly into their workflow.

• "What are your expectations for my performance in the first 30, 60, and 90 days?"

This shows that you’re proactive and committed to meeting their goals.

• "What is the preferred schedule for this role, and is there flexibility?"

This allows you to align expectations around working hours and availability.

• "Are there opportunities for growth or additional training in this role?"

This conveys your interest in long-term commitment and professional development within their organization.

You may apply for any job for which you believe you are qualified. We ask that you be upfront and honest with prospective employers regarding your experience, education and skill level.

If a potential employer asks you to perform a test, consider this an opportunity to showcase your skills, as long as the test is reasonable.

To connect with an employer, create a detailed workLATAM profile. The more information you provide, the better your chances of being hired.

Once your profile is complete, you can actively apply for jobs or wait for employers to contact you directly. Applying to jobs yields much faster results.

This depends on your level of effort and responsiveness:

• Proactively apply for jobs that align with your skills and experience.
• Reply promptly to employer inquiries.
• Focus on quality over quantity when submitting applications.

Consider applying for roles in different areas that leverage your core skills. This can increase your chances of securing a position.

Deactivated jobs indicate that the position has been filled and is no longer accepting applications.

No, you don’t need a college degree. Employers value skills and experience, so whether you’re a high school graduate or have technical training, you can still qualify for many roles.

Yes, most employers will conduct interviews, which could take place via email, Zoom, Teams or FaceTime, depending on their preferences.

Just as you may have some fear regarding working for an overseas employer for the first time, they may have the same fear if this is their first time hiring a team member from LATAM. This process helps bridge that gap for both sides.
