Nearshore Talent Built for How Startups Scale

Respira is a nearshore recruiting and outsourcing partner headquartered in Nashville, with operations in Honduras. We help U.S. startups build high-performing teams with exceptional Latin American talent while acting as an embedded people operations partner. We handle recruiting, onboarding, payroll, HR, and compliance so founders can stay focused on building.

Nearshore talent is not just a cost strategy. It is becoming a core part of how modern teams scale. Respira is built for that shift, with a model designed for long term partnership, not just placements.

What sets us apart is how we support talent, not just where we find it. Our team has lived and worked across Latin America, bringing cultural fluency and on the ground experience that leads to stronger hiring and better aligned teams.

We are mission driven at our core, with on the ground resources in Honduras that directly support our employees. That investment strengthens retention, continuity, and long term team performance.

Through our Honduras based operations, we provide U.S. aligned time zone coverage, strong English proficiency (highest-ranked Spanish-speaking country in Central America per the EF English Proficiency Index), and meaningful cost efficiency. We support hiring across engineering, cybersecurity, AI, operations, and revenue roles.

Our partnership model scales with you from your first hire to building a full team.
