Featured story

A company that tracks 11 million job listings for a living still couldn’t hire for itself. Here’s what changed.

Aspen Technology Labs, Inc. – The Next-Generation Business Intelligence Platform for the Labor and Jobs Market

Recruitment & Placement · South Africa

How Aspen Tech Labs traded 900 applicants for 20 vetted candidates

Job data & labor market intelligence•Colorado, USA•2 placements

Aspen had always hired through referrals. When growth outpaced the network, one job board post returned about 900 applicants in two weeks — all of them needing screening time their Director of Sales & Marketing didn’t have.

“I spent so much time and resources on those candidates. It was very refreshing to work with you guys.”

TheraSaaS – A Powerful CRM for Therapists & Mental Health Practices

Recruitment & Placement · Customer Support

We sent this SaaS company too many qualified candidates within five days

CRM for mental health practices•Hinsdale, Illinois•1 placement

TheraSaaS promises fast, human support to more than 1,000 therapy practices, and its team was stretched thin. Brent had candidates to interview within five days and a HighLevel specialist on tickets in under a month.

“If there’s like a bad thing, it’s like you sent me too many qualified people.”

The Growth Daily team together at dinner

Recruitment & Placement · Eastern Europe & South Africa

Abogados NOW – Hispanic Legal Marketing Experts

Recruitment & Placement · Latin America

How Abogados NOW covered a paid media exit in one week

Hispanic legal marketing•Long Beach, California•1 placement

An ads manager was leaving behind a full book of law firm accounts. Abogados NOW needed someone who could take the book over and keep it. They found him in Argentina.

“I just had to dump a lot of accounts on him, and he still has them, which is a major thing.”

What these searches have in common

The stories differ. The way we run a search doesn’t.

01

We recruit where the talent fits

South Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America each solve a different problem — time zones, language, or cost of living. We start with the role, then pick the region.

02

You see a shortlist, not a stack

Every candidate is screened and interviewed before you meet them. If the first shortlist misses, we tighten the brief and go again.

03

We chase the process

Hiring stalls when the founder gets busy. Our recruiters keep the loop moving, follow up on feedback, and stay on it until someone signs.
