jobs in Latin America
A mission to create jobs.
A partner to help you grow.
Founded by Troy and Daphne Blanchard · Based in Vernal, Utah
In 2021, we packed up our lives in San Diego and moved to Quito, Ecuador. We didn't fully understand why we felt so strongly about making the move, but it quickly became clear. We were here to create jobs.
We met countless talented English-speaking Ecuadorians who were educated, motivated, and simply underemployed or unemployed. That's when we launched ZConnect.
ZConnect is a company dedicated to helping U.S. businesses hire skilled, remote team members from Latin America — building high-performing teams without the overhead of traditional hiring. Every job we fill is a consistent, meaningful job for a professional in Latin America.
But our mission doesn't stop there. We also run a nonprofit foundation, Kovê International, where we organize large-scale service projects and support a Good Samaritan Fund that helps individuals transition from life on the streets to stability and hope.
After nearly four years of living in Quito — with regular travel back to the U.S. to meet with clients and see our family — we had a new thought: Why not help missionary families send packages back and forth more easily? Click here to send a package.
And if you've always wanted a farm but someone else to run it, our dragon fruit farm is always looking for investors to join us in providing consistent jobs in the Amazon region.

As a CPA firm we needed someone who could work inside U.S. financial workflows without a long learning curve. ZConnect delivered exactly that. The time zone alignment alone has been worth every penny.JenCEO & Founder — Rise Accounting & CPA
We were skeptical — we'd tried outsourcing before and it never worked. ZConnect was different. The onboarding was smooth, communication was clear from day one, and it genuinely feels like our hire is part of the team.ChrisCEO & Owner — Discount Bath
ZConnect completely changed how we handle our back office. We were drowning in admin work that was keeping us from focusing on clients. Within days we had a professional who hit the ground running — and hasn't slowed down since.MelindaCEO & Owner — Get Social
