Success Story
Tommy hired a COO and a Head of Growth
“Just being able to see all the candidates in one view in the ATS system, see their various scores for their interviews, to see their various documents and resumes, you know, it just made life so easy.”
The Intro:
WordAgents, a powerhouse content agency with a global team of over 250 members, was on the lookout for a full-time COO to bring structure and efficiency to their operations.
While their Fractional COO had laid down great foundations, the co-founders—Vincent D’Eletto and Tommy Joiner—were ready for a dedicated leader to take their day-to-day operations off their plate and focus on the big picture.
That’s where Remotivate stepped in, helping them find and onboard the ideal COO to keep their ambitious goals moving forward.
Key Outcomes
- Efficient hiring: Streamlined access to top candidates via a detailed applicant tracking system (ATS), saving time and effort.
- Targeted selection: Found a COO who brought a detailed, actionable 90-day plan to address WordAgents’ challenges.
- Seamless Onboarding: Remotivate handled the reference checks and offer process, so WordAgents could start seeing results right away.

The Challenge:
WordAgents was growing fast, but with their internal HR team just starting out, finding the right COO was a tall order. They needed an experienced recruitment partner who could understand the unique demands of a remote, global team in the online content world.
After a round of disappointing interviews with other agencies, Vincent and Tommy were ready for a partner who truly got their vision.
| “So far, it’s been a fantastic fit. Really, not only is David on the same wavelength as Tommy and I, but he’s been able to jump in with the team right away and just really make a connection almost immediately”- reports Vincent. |
The Solution:
After rigorous screening, 4 superstar candidates were presented to Vincent and Tommy, each selected for their potential to succeed in this key role. Only 2 made it to the final filter. To find the best fit, each candidate completed a final test project:
- Candidate A had an excellent cultural fit, but their project didn’t bring the level of detail WordAgents needed.
- Candidate B went above and beyond with a detailed 90-day action plan that addressed WordAgents’ most pressing challenges.
In the end, Candidate B was chosen, and Remotivate moved quickly to complete reference checks and finalize the offer—ensuring a smooth onboarding process and a fast start for WordAgents’ new COO.
