Just like the orchid, our company is proudly built by Colombian entrepreneurs with one clear purpose: to connect U.S. law firms and real estate teams with exceptional bilingual professionals while creating meaningful opportunities at home.

Creating Jobs, Building Futures

Empowering Women
We want Orchid to become a leading source of jobs and income for women in Colombia, who continue to face some of the toughest barriers in the labor market.
Colombia’s national unemployment rate in June 2025 was 8.6%, nearly double that of the United States at 4.1%.
For women, unemployment was significantly higher at 11.64%, reflecting a 4.5% gender gap that persists year after year, vs. 3.6% in the U.S.
Young professionals and women are disproportionately affected, often underemployed or forced into informal jobs despite advanced education.
What This Means for Latino Talent
Behind every percentage are real people, professionals who studied, worked hard, and still struggle to find fair opportunities. The Latino community holds extraordinary skills: bilingual communication, cultural insight, resilience, and determination. Yet too often, this talent remains underrecognized or underutilized.
