When Brian Adam founded Ecomiris, an email marketing agency specializing in helping French e-commerce brands grow through Klaviyo, he handled every aspect of the business himself.
Alongside a full-time job, Brian managed client work, email campaigns, project management, outreach, content creation, and daily operations.
He successfully grew the agency to 4 clients—but the workload soon became overwhelming.
To continue growing, Brian needed more than an extra pair of hands. He needed a skilled email marketer who could take ownership of client fulfillment and communicate fluently in French.
The Challenge: Finding A Highly Specialized, French-Speaking Marketer
The position required a rare combination of skills. The ideal candidate needed to:
- Speak and write French fluently
- Understand email marketing strategy
- Write high-quality email copy
- Work confidently with Klaviyo
- Support client communication and fulfillment
Brian initially tried recruiting through Upwork, a platform he already knew well as a top-rated user. However, the process proved much more difficult than expected.
Most applicants did not meet the quality standards or technical requirements he needed. Reviewing applications and searching for suitable candidates also took time away from running and growing the agency.
That was when Brian contacted HireUA.
The Solution: Five Candidates In 5 days
HireUA managed the recruitment process and presented the first five candidates within 5 days.
Because the role required both specialized marketing expertise and French fluency, the full search took slightly longer than a standard placement.
Throughout the process, however, our team maintained consistent daily communication and remained transparent about the progress.
Brian received regular updates, quick responses, and support tailored to his requests—including help with onboarding the selected employee.
Most importantly, he did not have to spend his limited time searching for candidates or dealing with the financial and administrative aspects of the hiring process.
“They understood my needs and delivered. Even if you’re looking for someone who speaks a language other than English, they can find the right profile.”
The Result: A New Right-Hand Person In The Business
Brian ultimately hired Nicolas, an experienced email marketer who quickly became his right-hand person.
Within approximately 2 months, Nicolas had taken responsibility for:
- Client fulfillment
- Email campaign management
- Email copywriting
- Selected client communications
This allowed Brian to step away from much of the day-to-day delivery work and redirect his attention toward business development and growth.
The impact was immediate.
Brian estimated that the hire gave him back approximately 20–30 hours every week—the equivalent of up to 120 hours per month.
“All the work he does is work I would otherwise have to do myself.”
More Time — And The Capacity To Generate More Revenue
For Brian, the biggest benefit was not simply reducing costs. It was creating the capacity to make more money.
With Nicolas managing fulfillment, Brian could focus on acquiring new clients and scaling Ecomiris.
He was already able to sign another client—something he said would not have been possible if he were still responsible for every task himself.
As a result, Brian expected his monthly income to double during the month of the interview.
“It’s not just about saving money. It’s more about making more money because, by hiring this person, I’m able to bring on more clients.”
The Transformation At A Glance
Before working with HireUA, Brian was an overloaded solopreneur managing 4 clients while working a full-time job.
After making the right hire, he gained:
- A skilled French-speaking email marketer
- Five initial candidates within 5 days
- Approximately 20–30 hours back every week
- More capacity to acquire and serve new clients
- The potential to double his monthly income
- A trusted right-hand person to support the agency’s continued growth
Would Brian Recommend HireUA?
Without hesitation.
“If you want high-quality candidates and don’t have time to waste on platforms like Upwork, HireUA is the way to go. They understand your needs, and they deliver.”
Brian’s experience demonstrates that the right hire does more than reduce a founder’s workload. It can remove the operational bottleneck holding the entire business back.
By finding a candidate with the right technical expertise, language skills, and ability to take ownership, HireUA helped Brian move from managing everything himself to building an agency capable of sustainable growth.
