The Hired Hub Podcast Newsletter – Episode #24 

Hey remote work enthusiasts! 👋  

It’s Gaby and Jess from The Hired Hub podcast, and we’re back with an episode that tackles a vital concern for many of you: how political instability affects remote work in Latin America, with a spotlight on Venezuela. 

If you’ve ever wondered how to find remote work, work for good remote jobs, or how to get a remote job, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive in. 

Key Takeaways 

Navigating Political Challenges in Remote Work 

In unstable political climates, such as Venezuela, remote professionals face real hurdles—like internet and electricity disruptions—that can and will disrupt work. Yet, as our guest Maria shared, many continue to adapt and succeed in the remote space. 

→ Tip: Prepare backup plans—portable Wi-Fi, international SIMs, or co-working spaces—to stay connected when infrastructure falters. 

Resilience and Adaptability of Latin American Professionals 

Professionals across Latin America—including Venezuela—demonstrate strong resilience, adapting to shifting conditions to maintain career momentum via remote work. 

To put this in perspective, remote work adoption across Latin America skyrocketed: the share of fully remote workers rose from just 3% in 2019 to 30% in 2023 (Wow Remote Teams). 

Furthermore, recent data shows that 65% of the LATAM workforce prefers flexible remote work options(Talent acquisition strategy). These shifts underscore how remote work is not just surviving but thriving—even in volatile contexts. 

Trends in Hiring Latin American Talent 

Demand for Latin American professionals is rising across various fields—tech, digital marketing, and customer support among them. Here are some compelling stats: 

• In software engineering, roles account for 38–42% of LATAM remote hiring share. (Wow Remote Teams) 

• Over 55% of companies looking to fill software engineering roles hire from LATAM, with in-demand skills like JavaScript, Python, React, and Node.js. (hiresouth.com) 

• In 2023, over 2.2 million professionals from Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico contributed remotely to global companies while staying locally. (World Economic Forum)
