Do we need a Venezuelan entity before we can hire?

Not necessarily. We review the options for your specific roles, including whether an EOR arrangement is appropriate and available, and give you a written answer rather than a general rule.

How many people should we start with?

Usually fewer than the business case says. We would rather sequence three hires properly than staff an org chart that has not been tested.

Can you help while we are still deciding whether to enter?

Yes. The workforce planner and a scoping conversation give you a realistic picture of what a team would involve before you commit to anything.

Do you provide legal or entity setup advice?

No. We are a workforce partner, not a legal or corporate services adviser. We work with the structure you have or are putting in place, and we are explicit about where a question belongs with your own advisers.

Choose the brief that matches your stage

Useful project workforce structure before you share your details.

Review the outline first. Your submitted scope then carries the selected brief, project stage and source into the proposal process.

Local operation

Build the local team that keeps your Venezuela operation moving.

Sequence the commercial, technical, procurement, logistics, finance and administrative capabilities your local operation needs.

Technical: Application, field service, engineering and delivery capability matched to the offer.
Procurement and logistics: Supplier coordination, purchasing, materials and distribution support.
Finance and administration: Finance, payroll coordination, reporting and local administration.

Start with the result the local team must deliver and the first capabilities required.

Decide who comes first, and why

Most entries start with one of three profiles, and the right one depends on what you are actually trying to prove in the first year.

A commercial lead, when the question is whether there is demand you can reach directly.
A technical or service lead, when the question is whether you can support what you already sell.
A country manager, when the operation needs someone to own the whole picture and represent it to head office.

Resolve the employment question before the offer

The single most common entry mistake is running a search and then discovering there is no structure to employ the person you selected. We resolve the employment model in parallel with the search: your own entity, an EOR arrangement where it is appropriate and available, or a contractor engagement where the substance of the work genuinely supports one.

Sequence the next hires so each one creates capacity

The second hire should relieve the first, not duplicate them. We build a sequence that shows which role unlocks which, what each one depends on, and where the plan will stall if a step is skipped.

Plan the back office before it becomes urgent

Finance, payroll and administration are usually added a year late. Knowing when they become necessary — and what triggers that — keeps your country lead doing the job you hired them for.

Know what a proposal still needs

We will tell you exactly what information is missing before your costs can be firmed up, rather than presenting an estimate built on assumptions you never saw.
