Frequently Asked Questions:

What does a XR Designer do?

An XR Designer designs experiences for augmented, mixed, and virtual reality. They prototype interactions, define spatial UI patterns, run usability sessions on headsets, and partner with engineers on what is technically achievable inside the comfort and performance constraints of XR.

How much does it cost to hire a XR Designer?

The role commands premium pay in the U.S. but talented professionals in Latin America deliver the same work for a fraction of the cost. The role earns an average U.S. salary of $13,600 per month compared with an average Latin American salary of $4,000 per month, creating potential savings of up to 70%. LatAm has a deep talent pool, with experienced professionals across Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, many with several years of experience supporting U.S. teams.

Can a U.S.-based company hire a remote XR Designer from Latin America?

Yes. South contracts the XR Designer locally, handles compliance and payroll, and bills you monthly. The hire joins your tools (Slack, Jira, GitHub, CRM) on day one. Time-zone alignment with the U.S. is the biggest unlock: real-time collaboration, same-day decisions, and none of the overnight handoffs you get when hiring in EMEA or APAC.

What skills should I look for when hiring a XR Designer?

Strong UX fundamentals plus hands-on XR design experience, fluency with prototyping tools like Bezi or ShapesXR, and a track record of shipping XR content. Senior candidates should have shipped on at least one major XR platform (Quest, Vision Pro, or HoloLens), run usability research on hardware, and influenced the broader product strategy.

What tools and software should a XR Designer know?

Figma, Bezi, ShapesXR, Adobe Aero, Unity (for prototyping), Blender for 3D assets, plus headsets across Quest, Vision Pro, and HoloLens for testing.

How is a XR Designer different from a UX/UI Designer?

A UX/UI Designer designs for screens. An XR Designer designs for spatial computing: 3D, hand input, and the comfort considerations of head-worn devices. The fundamentals overlap, but the patterns are different enough that XR is a discrete specialty. Hire XR-specific when XR is the product.

How can South help me hire a XR Designer?

South sources, vets, and matches LatAm professionals with U.S. teams hiring for the XR Designer role. You see a shortlist within seven to ten days, run your own interviews, and onboard in two to three weeks. South handles the contract, monthly payments, and offers a replacement guarantee. Schedule a free call here to get started!

Interview Questions:

  • Walk me through the last XR project you shipped. What spatial pattern did you invent?
  • Describe a prototyping process for a VR experience.
  • How do you handle hand tracking versus controller input?
  • Walk me through your approach to comfort in a VR design.
  • Describe a usability test you ran on a headset.
  • How do you partner with engineers on what is technically achievable?
  • Walk me through your spatial-UI patterns for Vision Pro.
  • Describe how you handle a multi-user XR experience.
  • How do you measure success on an XR product?
  • Walk me through your onboarding pattern for a first-time VR user.

Frequently asked questions

If you have any further questions, get in touch with our friendly team!
Why hire in Latin America?

The region has the perfect mix of everything you want in remote employees: English skills, shared time zones, hard-working, and depth of talent. They are already accustomed to working remotely for top US startups and Fortune 500 companies.

Can they work my time zone?

Absolutely! The US and Latin America have basically the same time zones. No Latin American city is more than two hours ahead of EST.

What tasks can they do? What roles can I hire for? 

Every hire is sourced based on your exact needs. They will arrive ready to support your business right away. They can do basically any tasks done remotely, but we recommend starting them as support so your team has more bandwidth for high-value strategic tasks.

All types of roles - customer service, executive assistant, sales, accounting, email marketing, lead generation, content writers, operations, social media marketing, and more!

How do I pay them? Any tax or visa issues?

You can pay directly through us (most popular) or we can connect you with one of our payroll partners.
‍
You don't have to deal with any American labor laws / taxes when hiring full-time remote contractors. They aren't US-based, so no visas or sponsorships to deal with either.

What does this cost?

Pricing is one flat monthly rate per hire. The rate includes your teammate's compensation and South's service in a single consolidated invoice. It covers sourcing, vetting, payroll, compliance, ongoing support, and a free replacement if you ever need one. Rates vary by role and seniority. See our savings by role page for typical ranges, then we'll confirm an exact rate for your role.
‍
There are no cancellation fees or minimum commitments, and you only pay if you make a hire.

Do I have to hire full-time?

Yes, we only recruit for full-time and we strongly recommend full-time hiring if you can. Stability (full-time & long-term) is highly sought after abroad. The top caliber candidates are only looking for full-time work.

You're also going to spend time training and getting them up to speed on your processes. It would be a waste to do that over and over again with new people all the time.

Do I have to hire for an individual role or can they handle multiple roles?

We recommend training new hires on one thing at a time.

For example, once they get up to speed on lead generation, you can add the next role writing blog posts or whatever you'd like. You can definitely overlap roles until you have enough work for multiple people.

How can they be 70% less?

The cost of living is much less in Latin American countries. Many of our employees are able to own homes, raise families, provide for their parents, and have in-home help of their own with their salaries.

How does the money-back guarantee work?

If you aren't happy with your hire in the first 120 days, we will work with you to conduct a second round of search for the same role for free.

How do I reach out if I have a question?

Just email us at Hello@HireInSouth.com and we will get back to you with an answer as soon as possible.
