When José came to HireUA, he needed a skilled Spanish-speaking writer but did not want to spend weeks managing the recruitment process himself.
Thanks to his established online audience, attracting applicants was not difficult. The real challenge was filtering through them and determining who had the right skills and experience.
The Challenge
José had previously promoted open positions directly to his audience.
This could generate around 100 applications for a single role, leaving him to review every submission and evaluate each candidate.
The process was time-consuming, stressful, and did not always result in a successful long-term hire. After being disappointed by previous recruitment attempts, José decided to delegate the process.
“Filtering through 100 people is time-consuming. I would rather pay someone else to help me with that process.”
Our Approach
We started with a short onboarding call to understand the position and José’s expectations.
Afterward, we added him to a shared Slack channel where our team managed communication, candidate updates, and interview scheduling.
Within a few days, we presented 6 qualified candidates. José interviewed them during the same week and selected a Spanish-speaking writer based in Spain.
“I got 6 candidates from you guys, all of them were great, and I didn’t have to filter through anyone.”
Our team remained closely involved throughout the search. When a time-zone issue affected one of the interviews, we resolved it immediately, and the meeting began within 5 minutes.
The Result
A hiring process that could normally have taken José around 1 month was completed in approximately 3 days.
For him, the greatest value was not reducing the candidate’s salary. It was avoiding the stress and time involved in sourcing and screening applicants.
By delegating recruitment, José could focus on more important areas of his business while only participating in the final interviews.
The Impact
Through our partnership, José achieved:
- Six qualified candidates within a few days
- A Spanish-speaking writer successfully hired
- The hiring timeline reduced from one month to approximately 3 days
- No need to review around 100 applications
- Fast interview scheduling and support
- More time to focus on higher-priority business activities
“It exceeded my expectations. When you pay for a service and get much more than you paid for, that’s a great thing.”
By managing the most time-consuming parts of recruitment, we helped José find the right writer quickly and turn a stressful hiring task into a simple, efficient process.
