We hire the right people in Colombia on your behalf — engineers, project managers, executive assistants, and operations staff — and handle everything else so you don't have to.
Currently working with ISM · L1 USA · Cardtide · WitBuilt · Neon Sign Solutions
IDS isn't a software platform that matches resumes. We find Colombian professionals who already understand your industry, your tools, and your way of working — then handle all the employment, payroll, and compliance so they can focus on your business from day one.
Most EOR platforms are built for volume. IDS is built for fit. Here's the difference in plain terms.
The obstacles are real — but they're all obstacles IDS has already solved.
To hire someone directly in Colombia, your company typically needs to incorporate a local legal entity first. That means legal counsel in two countries, registration processes, and months before anyone starts work — before you've hired a single person.
Colombia has strong worker protections. Misclassifying an employee as a contractor, missing a statutory contribution, or terminating incorrectly can create significant legal and financial exposure for your company. It's not a risk worth taking without local expertise.
Most global EOR platforms are optimized for software engineers. If you need someone who knows how to run merchant operations, manage a production system, program industrial equipment, or provide real executive support — the generic platforms aren't built for that.
IDS acts as the legal employer in Colombia. You get the talent and the results. We handle everything else — permanently.
Here's exactly what our team members do inside each client's business — every day, like in-house staff.
ISM needed technical design and programming support for their sheet metal production line — but local Miami hiring was too expensive. Our team member works directly inside ISM's production workflow every day, handling the technical work that keeps their machines running and orders shipping on time.
L1 USA needed one person who could handle design, program lasers, manage projects, talk to customers, and operate inside their production platform. Our team member does all of that — acting as a full operational arm of L1's business from Colombia.
Cardtide needed reliable operations staff who understood the specifics of merchant services — tickets, provider communication, CRM, and internal systems — without needing to be managed. Our team took full ownership of their operational backbone.
WitBuilt needed a trusted executive assistant who could run day-to-day operations independently — scheduling, communications, internal coordination — freeing leadership to focus entirely on building and delivering their services.
As Neon Sign Solutions grew, so did their order volume, vendor relationships, and customer follow-ups. Our team member handles all of that — so their designers and production team stay focused on what they're best at.
Most clients have their first team member working within 48 hours of signing. No lawyers, no entity setup, no months of waiting.
Tell us the role, the tools your team uses, and what this person will do every day. We scope the engagement and find the right fit.

OngoingWe needed an engineer who already knew our machines and software. IndustrialDes found exactly that — and had them working in our system within days. It felt like we hired someone locally, at a fraction of the cost.
We needed one person who could do design, program tube lasers, talk to customers, and work inside Fulcrum. IndustrialDes made that happen. It completely changed how we think about scaling our team.
Our service fee is $600 per person per month — on top of the employee's salary and statutory Colombian benefits. That's it. No setup fees, no hidden charges, no buy-out costs.
Colombia has strong worker protections. Getting the employment relationship wrong — even unintentionally — creates real exposure.
