An outsourced business-development agency in Los Angeles

They found us through an AI assistant and booked a call the same day. The discovery call ran three days later, the agreement came back the day after that, and the brief was with the sourcing team the day after that. Four days from first contact to signed.

The role was sales development: cold calling as the primary activity, working US Pacific hours and reporting directly to the founder, deployed on his own clients' campaigns under his brand. They ended up confirming three people rather than one, two covering US hours and one covering Australian hours for a different client set.

Contracts and onboarding for those three are in progress at the time of writing. What is settled is the selection: the client reviewed the shortlist and said yes to all three.

An administrative assistant role. We took the brief on a Thursday and delivered the shortlist, with CVs and one-way video introductions, the following Tuesday. The client replied the same day with his budget band, which sat inside the range we had quoted, and booked interviews himself.

He interviewed both shortlisted candidates and wanted to proceed with both. The scope he described was not junk work: workflow improvement, compliance and HR admin, and coordination across a second entity he also runs. In his words, this was not a position where he wanted someone waiting to be told what to do.

What these two have in common

Neither client wrote a job spec first. Both described the problem on a call, and the role was defined from that. Both received a shortlist inside a week. Both chose more scope than they originally asked for, which is the normal pattern once a capable person is actually in front of them.

Placements run $1,200 to $2,800 per month full time, all in, with no recruitment fees and a 30-day replacement at no cost.
