How Anthony Saved $50k/Year Hiring A Graphic Designer


Anthony runs an email marketing agency serving e-commerce businesses.

Although the agency had strong strategies, copywriting, sales, and internal processes, graphic design had become its biggest fulfillment bottleneck.

He needed an experienced email/graphic designer who could create high-quality work quickly without requiring extensive training.


The Challenge

Anthony’s hiring options were limited. Affordable candidates often lacked the necessary experience, while qualified US-based designers charged between $2,500 and $5,500 per month.

Without the right hire, Anthony would have needed to continue designing emails himself, sometimes working 10–14-hour days.

This left him with limited time for sales, client management, and business growth.


Our Approach

HireUA managed the recruitment process and arranged interviews with approximately 7 or 8 qualified candidates.

Anthony only needed to attend the interviews and select the candidate who best matched the agency’s requirements and culture. He found the right designer during the first candidate round.


The Result

The new designer became fully integrated within approximately 7 days and quickly began delivering the quality and speed the agency needed.

The placement helped Anthony:

  • Reduce hiring costs by approximately 50–80%
  • Remove graphic design as the agency’s main bottleneck
  • Reduce the need to work 10–14-hour days
  • Spend more time on sales and client acquisition
  • Effectively double the agency’s creative capabilities
  • Maintain momentum while serving existing clients

Instead of choosing between an expensive expert and an inexperienced freelancer, Anthony gained a skilled long-term team member at a sustainable cost.
