See this chart as a table
| Group | EF EPI 2025 English score |

Argentina is Latin America's top country in the EF English Proficiency Index 2025: 26th of 123 countries and regions, with a score of 575 in the "high proficiency" band. That's ahead of Switzerland, Spain and France. And the professionals most likely to work for a US company score even higher:
| Group (EF EPI 2025, Argentina) | English score |
|---|---|
| Strategy and project management | 643 |
| Customer service | 617 |
| Legal | 609 |
| Marketing | 591 |
| IT | 589 |
| Global average, all countries | 488 |
In practice, that means Argentine hires can write your client emails, run your onboarding calls and draft your content without anyone rewriting their work. We still put every candidate through written and oral English tests, but in Argentina the pass rate shows.

Argentina vs US time zones
Argentina is one to two hours ahead of New York, so your hire is fully available for an East Coast day and can cover a Pacific schedule too.
| Your team works 9 a.m.–5 p.m. in… | Buenos Aires time, Nov–Mar | Buenos Aires time, Mar–Nov |
|---|---|---|
| US Eastern (New York, Toronto) | 11 a.m.–7 p.m. | 10 a.m.–6 p.m. |
| US Central (Chicago, Austin) | 12 p.m.–8 p.m. | 11 a.m.–7 p.m. |
| US Pacific (Los Angeles, Vancouver) | 2 p.m.–10 p.m. | 1 p.m.–9 p.m. |
Argentina uses UTC−3 all year. If you also have a team in the UK or Europe, an Argentine hire starting early can overlap with both sides of the Atlantic.
Paid in your currency, on your holiday calendar
Every Argentine hire is paid in your currency, and Talentige takes care of the payment. For top Argentine professionals, a role paid in US dollars, Canadian dollars, euros or Australian dollars is a real draw, and it helps us attract the strongest candidates for you.
Your holiday calendar
Argentine hires follow your company's holiday calendar, apart from maybe one or two local holidays you agree upfront. No second calendar to plan around.
Paid in your currency
Talentige handles payment, and your hire is paid in your currency: USD for US clients, CAD for Canadian clients, EUR for European clients, AUD for Australian clients and GBP for UK clients. No foreign transfers or currency conversion on your side.
Cost of hiring in Argentina vs the US
For the roles where Argentina is strongest, here's typical pay through Talentige next to the US median salary for the same job, before and after employer overhead.
| Role (full-time) | Typical Latin America range (monthly, USD) | Per year | Same role in the US (BLS median, per year) | Yearly pay difference per hire* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marketing specialist | $1,000–$1,800 | $12,000–$21,600 | About $78,800 About $112,600 with overhead | At least $91,000 |
| Executive assistant | $1,000–$1,800 | $12,000–$21,600 | About $76,600 About $109,500 with overhead | At least $87,900 |
| Bilingual customer support | $900–$1,500 | $10,800–$18,000 | About $44,800 About $64,000 with overhead | At least $46,000 |
| QA tester | $1,200–$1,700 | $14,400–$20,400 | About $104,300 About $149,100 with overhead | At least $128,700 |
| Junior developer | $1,200–$1,600 | $14,400–$19,200 | About $105,200 About $150,400 with overhead | At least $131,200 |
| Developer (mid to senior) | $2,000+ | from $24,000 | About $136,000 About $194,500 with overhead | About $164,500 |
*US figures: national median hourly wage for the closest matching occupation (BLS OEWS, May 2025; junior developer uses the 25th-percentile wage as an early-career benchmark) × 2,080 hours, rounded to the nearest $100. "With overhead" multiplies by 1.43, because US private-industry employers spent $46.89 per hour on total compensation against $32.82 in wages in June 2026 (BLS ECEC). The difference compares the US cost with overhead against the top of the typical Latin America range; for developers, which have no fixed upper end, we compare against a $2,500 a month hire. Latin America figures are typical Latin America ranges from Talentige placements across the region, not country-specific quotes; we confirm the range for your exact role on the call. Our one-time placement fee depends on the role and is separate.
