Peru's professional talent is concentrated in Lima — corporate, finance, and growing tech sector at meaningfully lower cost than Mexico or Colombia. Peruvian sol (PEN) is the local currency. Employer social contributions run ~9–10% above gross (relatively low). Strong fit for Spanish-language customer success, BPO, and finance operations serving Latin American customers at cost. For broader Latin American scaling with deeper senior tech and BD talent Lundi typically recommends Colombia (Andean cultural alignment, deeper talent) or Mexico (US business integration).

Cost of Employment in Peru

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.

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.
