Success Story

The EcoHero Show hired 2 superstars (without reading 600+ resumes)

“I felt like I was Jason Bourne. This is the hit list, I’m just clicking and checking… to know I’m getting the cream of the crop was very relieving.”

The Intro:

Brett Edwards, founder of The EcoHero Show, needed to scale his environmental education program with two high-stakes hires: an Education Partnership Director and an Educational Outreach Manager. By partnering with Remotivate, Brett offloaded the entire recruitment machine. He was able to step away for a full month, returning only to interview a curated “hit list” of superstars who were ready to close contracts on day one.

CLIENT NAME:

Brett “Mr. Eco” Edwards

COMPANY NAME:

The EcoHero Show

INDUSTRY:

Education

LOCATION:

United States

The Challenge:

Before hiring us, Brett was the bottleneck. He was managing hundreds of applications himself, which led to a “tech-heavy” hire in the past who lacked the “closer” instinct needed for the role. He needed to replace an underperformer and launch a brand-new theater program simultaneously – all without being buried in resumes.

“When I’ve hired before, there’s so many applications and I managed the whole thing myself. I didn’t have to do anything [this time] besides the final interviews.”

The Solution:

We didn’t just find “qualified” people; we looked for “closers.” While Brett was off for a month, we fine-tuned our sourcing to find candidates who had sat on the “other side of the table” in school districts.

We also utilized a flat-fee model instead of the industry-standard percentage. This ensured Brett knew we were motivated by the right fit, not a higher salary negotiation.

“I don’t think I would have worked with you all if [a percentage-based commission] was the process. The flat cost just seemed simpler.”

The Results:

We filtered through nearly 700 people so Brett only had to talk to the top 1%.

The quality was so high that Brett noted his interviews stopped being “interviews” and turned into strategic sessions on how to grow the company.

“I was like, ‘Why is this too good to be true?’ [Raymond] checked all of these boxes from a professional standpoint.”

“I felt like I was Jason Bourne. This is the hit list, I’m just clicking and checking… to know I’m getting the cream of the crop was very relieving.”
