Agency context

Built for agency work, not generic remote hiring.

Nearshore agency hiring is not a geography trick. The value comes from senior professionals who already know agency pressure and can work close enough to the US day to keep communication, reporting, and delivery moving.

Working-call vetting
  • A live working-call exercise that tests agency judgment under real account pressure.
  • A structured scorecard for clear client-ready output from messy account context.
  • Reference checks with people who managed the professional inside an agency.
Optional AI bootcamp
  • Client communication from transcripts, notes, and account context.
  • Reporting automation through n8n, Zapier, spreadsheets, or dashboard exports.
  • Churn early-warning notes from account-health signals.

Want the hire trained to run AI in the seat? We offer that as a separate, optional bootcamp — priced on its own, never bundled into the placement fee.
