When the founders of Creatively Disruptive first connected with HireUA, their growing marketing agency needed several new team members, including a Facebook Ads Manager, Social Media Manager, and Email Marketing Specialist.
Within approximately 1 week, we helped them fill all 3 positions with qualified professionals. This became the beginning of a long-term hiring partnership that continued for several years.
The Challenge
Before working with us, Creatively Disruptive managed most of its recruitment internally and hired approximately 90% of its team from the United States.
Although they could find qualified people, the process was slow and expensive.
Reviewing applications and identifying suitable candidates required significant time, while hiring mistakes could cost the company thousands of dollars.
For a growing agency, replacing someone quickly was especially important. When a team member left, their responsibilities often returned to the founders or doubled another employee’s workload.
Our Approach
We learned about the agency’s requirements in detail and managed the initial sourcing and screening process.
Instead of reviewing hundreds of applicants, the founders received a shortlist of approximately 6 strong candidates who closely matched each position. In some cases, the biggest challenge was deciding which qualified candidate to hire.
“It’s easy to find people quickly, but it’s not easy to find good people quickly.”
Over the years, we helped Creatively Disruptive hire professionals across several marketing functions, including:
- Facebook and Google advertising
- Social media management
- Email marketing
- Graphic design
- Media buying
If a hire was not the right long-term fit, we also helped the agency find a replacement quickly, reducing the financial and operational risks of a bad hire.
Up to Five Full-time Hires
At the peak of our partnership, Creatively Disruptive had approximately 5 full-time professionals hired through HireUA.
These team members cost around $12,000 per month in total. Hiring comparable talent in the United States would likely have cost between $20,000 and $30,000 per month.
The agency estimated that it saved at least 40–50% on salaries—and sometimes significantly more—without compromising the quality of the work.
Strong Communication And Performance
The founders initially had concerns about possible language barriers, but these concerns did not become an issue.
The team members communicated effectively in written and spoken English, participated in individual and team meetings, understood instructions, and worked smoothly with the wider agency.
Their location also had no negative effect on their technical or creative performance.
“If you’re a good media buyer or a good graphic designer, then you’re a good media buyer or graphic designer. The quality of the work wasn’t influenced by the country where they lived.”
The Results
Through our long-term partnership, Creatively Disruptive achieved:
- Three initial positions filled within approximately 1 week
- Up to 5 full-time international professionals on the team
- At least 40–50% savings on monthly salaries
- Faster replacements when a hire was not the right fit
- Less time spent sourcing and screening applicants
- Skilled professionals across multiple marketing disciplines
- Two team members who became permanent parts of the agency
“It saves us so much time and headache. HireUA is like a safety net that helps make sure we get the right people.”
By providing qualified talent quickly and reducing the risks associated with hiring, we helped Creatively Disruptive scale its team while keeping costs under control.
