About Respira…

Respira is a U.S.-based outsourcing and recruitment firm with strong roots in Latin America. Headquartered in Nashville, with operations centered in Honduras, we specialize in helping U.S. companies access skilled, cost-effective talent across the region.

What sets us apart is our on-the-ground presence and deep understanding of Latin American work culture, which enables smoother collaboration and stronger results. Our leadership has lived and worked throughout the region, offering unique insights into local communication styles and expectations.

As both a strategic advisor and execution partner, we handle recruitment, onboarding, compliance, payroll, and ongoing support, allowing clients to focus on their core business.

The name Respira ("Breath") reflects our mission to provide a unique approach to nearshore outsourcing, combining expert talent sourcing with a robust employee support network, resulting in better retention and positive impact for businesses and communities.

Respira’s story began in Honduras, where co-founders Sarah Catherine and Carmen observed a significant gap—many talented and educated individuals lacked the opportunities they deserved due to socio-economic barriers. This realization inspired their mission to bridge the gap between potential and opportunity.

At Respira, we believe in the power of connection. By providing the resources and support necessary for success, we aim to create a thriving ecosystem where talent and opportunity intersect, driving growth and prosperity for both businesses and individuals.

Join us in making a difference, and discover how Respira is unlocking potential and creating opportunities that change lives, not just in Honduras, but globally.
