About WerkWorx

Your trusted partner in talent recruitment and staffing solutions.

Our Story

Built for Entrepreneurs, by Entrepreneurs

WerkWorx was founded by Robert Barquero, a business owner who understands the real costs of scaling a company in today’s economy.

With decades of experience in business development, operations, and international consulting, Robert has seen firsthand how fast-growing U.S. companies are being held back by rising salaries, talent shortages, and operational overload.

He started WerkWorx to change that.

Rather than outsourcing overseas, WerkWorx helps U.S.-based teams nearshore key roles to Latin America. The focus is on highly skilled, bilingual professionals who align with your time zone, culture, and business goals.

Robert’s mission is simple:
Give founders back their time.
Help them scale without burning through cash.
Connect them with talent who can deliver from day one.

WerkWorx isn’t just a staffing firm.
It’s the growth partner Robert wished he had years ago.
