Why companies build teams in Venezuela

Lundi supports compliant employment in Venezuela on a case-by-case basis given ongoing economic and political instability. Significant senior Venezuelan talent has relocated regionally (Colombia, Spain, Argentina, Mexico). Lundi typically recommends sourcing the relocated talent in its current geography.

Venezuela historically had strong professional talent in Caracas — oil/gas, finance, and tech. Since 2015–2020, ongoing economic collapse, hyperinflation, and political instability have driven extensive talent emigration — approximately 7 million Venezuelans have left the country, with substantial professional talent now in Colombia, Spain, Argentina, Mexico, and the United States. Lundi supports compliant employment in Venezuela on a case-by-case basis but typically recommends sourcing the relocated Venezuelan talent in its new geography. For Spanish-language operations Colombia (which has absorbed the largest share of Venezuelan migrants), Spain, Mexico, or Argentina are typically the right answers.

Cost of Employment in Venezuela

What it costs to employ someone through Lundi.

Lundi's cost is the all-in cost of the employee — gross salary plus statutory employer contributions plus customary benefits — and a Lundi management fee on top. The management fee depends on team size and scope: smaller teams pay a higher per-head rate, teams of 20+ get materially better unit economics, and Build–Operate–Transfer engagements are structured separately.

The alternative paths look like: setting up your own local entity (meaningful months of legal and accounting work, plus ongoing in-country HR, payroll, and compliance infrastructure), engaging a local recruitment agency on contingency (typically a percentage of first-year compensation, paid once, with no ongoing employment relationship), or hiring as a contractor (lower upfront cost, real misclassification risk in most jurisdictions). Lundi is faster than entity setup, structurally different from contingency recruitment, and lower-risk than contractor arrangements.

Why Companies Choose Lundi

If you need help with anything, we're here for you

Who is Lundi for?

Lundi works with companies building teams of 10 or more across business, technical, and operational functions . Not for one-off hires or individual placements.

How is this different from an EOR?

EOR platforms employ individuals for you. Lundi recruits, employs, and operates concentrated teams — including day-to-day management, HR, and an optional path to your own entity. It's the operating model for companies that have outgrown the EOR ceiling.
