When Brandon came to HireUA, he was not simply looking for another virtual assistant.
He needed someone who could help transform how his business looked, presented its projects, and prepared for its next stage of growth.
Brandon is the founder of GoSproost, a property technology company that partners with homeowners and real estate agents to improve residential properties before they are sold. GoSproost completes the renovations upfront and receives payment from the additional equity created when the property sells.
To support that model, Brandon needed strong visual assets, professional 3D renderings, and a credible digital presence.
What he expected to be several separate hires ultimately became one highly successful placement.
The Challenge: Finding Reliable Global Talent
Before working with us, Brandon had already hired remote professionals from the Philippines.
While some of those hires had been capable, the overall process created several challenges…
- Internet reliability
- A 12-hour time difference
- Inconsistent communication
The need to personally manage every stage of the recruitment process made hiring more difficult than it needed to be.
Finding the right person was also slow…
Brandon estimated that it had previously taken him around 2 months to find someone who could handle 3D renderings alone.
Even then, he still had to coordinate the entire process himself.
As a business owner already wearing multiple hats, he needed a faster and more dependable way to build his team.
Three Different Roles, One Outstanding Candidate
When Brandon approached HireUA, he was initially considering several different positions, including:
- A graphic designer
- A sales representative
- A project manager
- A 3D rendering specialist
After learning more about his business and the type of support he needed, we moved quickly.
Within approximately 1 week, we arranged around 10 interviews with qualified candidates across the different roles.
Although Brandon was originally considering hiring 1 or 2 people, one candidate immediately stood out.
Tiana had the skills to cover what would normally have been 3 separate positions.
Brandon hired her, and she quickly became far more than the specialist he had originally expected.
From 3D Rendering Specialist to Head of Design
Tiana was initially considered for a 3D rendering role.
GoSproost needed to show homeowners and investors what renovation projects would look like before construction began. That required someone who could turn architectural plans and property images into professional renderings and animations.
But Tiana’s abilities went far beyond 3D design.
She also had experience with WordPress, branding, graphic design, website development, logos, and animation.
Since joining the company, she has:
- Created 3D property renderings from architectural plans
- Produced animations and design assets
- Redesigned the company’s logo
- Rebuilt the entire website
- Migrated the website away from Wix
- Created banners and promotional materials
- Strengthened the visual identity of the business
Her contribution was so significant that Brandon effectively promoted her to Head of Design.
As he explained:
“She was able to do like three jobs, so I went with her.”
Building the Appearance of a Much Larger Company
For GoSproost, design was not simply about making the website look better.
The company was preparing to launch a mobile application and raise capital from investors and real estate professionals. A professional brand, website, logo, and presentation materials were essential for building trust.
Tiana’s work gave the company the visual presence of a much larger organization.
According to Brandon:
“I look like a huge eight-figure construction company when it’s really just me and her.”
That transformation helped GoSproost present itself with the credibility needed to attract customers, partners, and potential investors.
Instead of managing several freelancers or hiring separate specialists, Brandon had one person who understood the brand and could execute across nearly every visual area of the business.
A Fraction of the Local Hiring Cost
Brandon estimated that the closest comparable hire in the United States would likely cost around $85,000 per year.
Even then, he did not believe one person would realistically have the same combination of skills.
More likely, the work would need to be divided across 2 or 3 separate roles, each potentially costing between $60,000 and $70,000 per year.
By hiring through HireUA, GoSproost gained access to a much broader skill set at a fraction of the local cost.
The value was not only financial.
Brandon also avoided the time and complexity of sourcing, screening, interviewing, and coordinating several separate professionals.
A Faster, Fully Supported Hiring Process
The difference between hiring independently and working with HireUA was significant.
Rather than building job posts, searching through platforms, and spending months evaluating candidates, Brandon only needed to explain what he was looking for.
We handled the rest.
We sourced the talent, screened the applicants, organized the interviews, and presented him with a strong candidate pool within a week.
Brandon also valued knowing that our support did not end after the hire. If an issue ever arose, he knew he could return to us for help, accountability, or a potential replacement.
As he described it:
“You pretty much just told me to give a description, and you guys got the best talent.”
More Than a Hire
This placement shows why the right candidate cannot always be defined by a single job title.
Brandon came to us looking at several different roles.
What he found was one exceptional person capable of taking ownership of an entire function inside the business.
Tiana did not simply complete a list of design tasks… She helped GoSproost establish a professional brand, prepare for a major product launch, improve its customer experience, and position itself for investment and growth.
For us, that is what a successful placement looks like.
We do not just match resumes with job descriptions.
We find people who can create a measurable impact across the entire business.
