The short answer

DistantJob and Euro Remote Talent are close cousins: both place permanent, vetted hires done-for-you with a replacement guarantee. DistantJob draws from a worldwide pool (especially Latin America and Eastern Europe) and optimizes for North American time zones, but doesn't publish its fee. Euro Remote Talent specializes in all of Europe, publishes a transparent flat $6,500, and focuses on AI-native talent. If you want worldwide reach with payroll options, DistantJob fits. For a European specialist with transparent pricing, ERT is the better overall fit.
