# CloudTask > CloudTask is a staffing and recruiting company that places remote professionals from Latin America and the Caribbean into long-term roles with US companies. Operating since 2016, with more than 10,000 hires placed across sales, customer success, support, operations, marketing, RevOps, AI and engineering roles. Every role can be hired through two models: Direct Hire or Managed Staffing. CloudTask is not a marketplace, not a subscription and not an SDR or lead generation agency. It recruits, vets and places individual professionals who work inside the client's team, in US business hours.
