Connor is the founder of Fission Agency, a HubSpot integration agency that helps businesses implement and optimize their HubSpot systems.
As the agency added more clients, Connor needed someone who could take over a significant part of client fulfillment. However, this wasn’t a role he could delegate to a general assistant.
He needed an experienced HubSpot specialist who could understand complex client problems and independently determine the steps required to solve them.
The Challenge: Finding “Another Me”
Connor was looking for someone who understood HubSpot well enough to manage complete implementations.
For a new client starting from scratch, the specialist might need to identify and execute 20–40 different tasks within the platform.
The right candidate therefore needed both technical knowledge and strategic thinking.
Hiring locally in the United States presented another challenge: Flexibility.
Most HubSpot professionals wanted at least 20–30 hours per week or a full-time position.
Connor only needed approximately 10 hours per week initially, with the option to increase the workload as the agency grew.
Hiring a local consultant would also have been expensive. Experienced HubSpot professionals commonly charged between $75 and $100 per hour.
Our Approach
Within an hour of Connor confirming that he was ready to move forward, we shared 4 or 5 sample profiles to ensure we were aligned on the type of specialist he needed.
Once the profile was confirmed, we arranged 3 interviews.
The search officially began on December 2, and Connor interviewed the candidate he ultimately hired on December 7.
The first candidate immediately impressed him and was selected within 3 days of the interviews beginning. He started working with Fission Agency the following week.
The Result: Immediate Fulfillment Support
The new HubSpot specialist joined the agency for approximately 10 hours per week—exactly the level of support Connor needed.
He was able to take responsibility for implementation tasks across 3 active clients, including a particularly large and data-heavy HubSpot project.
This removed a significant amount of technical fulfillment work from Connor’s workload.
The arrangement also gave Fission Agency the flexibility to scale the specialist’s hours as its client base continued to grow.
The Business Impact
The placement delivered several important results:
- Four to five relevant sample profiles shared within one hour
- Three qualified candidates scheduled for interviews
- The selected specialist interviewed within five days
- Successful onboarding the following week
- Support structured around only 10 hours per week
- Reduced reliance on US consultants charging $75–$100 per hour
- Technical workload removed from the founder
- More capacity to onboard and serve additional clients
Connor described the placement as “the greatest decision” he had made for the agency.
By hiring before fulfillment became a serious bottleneck, Fission Agency gained the technical capacity it needed to grow without forcing the founder deeper into day-to-day implementation work.
