Success Story

Victor hired a COO (and 2 more team members!)

“We weren’t as professional and mature at that time… the package in terms of the application process and the job description gave [candidates] a sense of comfort and security”.

The Intro:

Recognizing the need for committed and skilled professionals, Victor partnered with Remotivate to hire for three critical roles: a Chief Operating Officer, an E-commerce Operations Manager, and an Executive Assistant.

With Remotivate’s tailored process, We successfully interviewed 52 candidates, shortlisted 17, and filled all three roles with standout hires who have already transformed the company.

As Victor shared, “We’ve been very, very satisfied.”

The Challenge:

Seth Media had long relied on freelancers, but as the business grew, this approach no longer met their operational needs. Victor realized it was time to shift to a more traditional hiring model.

“We didn’t find a good fit on the traditional platforms like Upwork or OnlineJobs”, Victor explained. Beyond platform limitations, he also lacked experience in crafting detailed job descriptions, managing salary negotiations, and vetting candidates. These hurdles made the idea of hiring full-time employees feel daunting.

The Solution:

A trusted recommendation led Victor to partner with Remotivate. Together we successfully filled 3 roles.

  • Tailored Job Descriptions: Victor shared a vision of his ideal candidates, and Remotivate turned it into professional, detailed job descriptions.
  • Thorough Vetting: 52 candidates were carefully reviewed, 17 were shortlisted, and the top 5 were interviewed for each role.
  • Expert Support: From salary negotiations to contracts, Remotivate acted as a sounding board, helping Seth Media navigate the complexities of traditional hiring.
