“It’s a no-brainer. I can hire 4-5 more positions with Globaltize, and it will still be cheaper than the one domestic hire I was considering through Upwork in the United States.”
Overview
Alex, the founder of Pro’s Warehouse, needed an Executive Assistant to help lighten his workload and increase overall efficiency. He came to Globaltize looking for a permanent solution that could handle not just daily business tasks, but also personal assignments—without breaking the bank. After exploring local hires in Canada and the U.S., he turned to Globaltize for a cost-effective, full-time assistant from the Philippines.
The Challenges
Alex had previously worked with contractors from the Philippines but wanted someone dedicated exclusively to his company for the long term. He also considered hiring locally but found the cost of U.S. and Canadian labor far too high for the role he needed. On top of that, he was concerned about ensuring compliance with international labor laws and didn’t know the finer points of what to screen for when hiring from abroad. He needed help navigating the complex hiring process
The Challenges
We began by conducting a consultation with Alex to understand his exact needs, company culture, and daily tasks for the new hire. With that information, we developed a comprehensive job profile, including role requirements and Alex’s preferences. Our recruiters then launched a highly targeted search, focusing on cities in the Philippines with strong infrastructure and candidates accustomed to U.S. working hours.
From there, we conducted assessments, background checks, reference checks, and interviews. We shortlisted the best candidates, ensuring each one met Alex’s unique requirements. After thorough vetting, we presented him with a few top-notch candidates, ensuring a smooth hiring process from start to finish.
The Impact
By hiring an Executive Assistant through Globaltize at $9/hour instead of the $40/hour he would have paid in the U.S., Alex saved an impressive $57,600 annually and $4,900 per month. His new hire has taken over tedious backend tasks, email organization, and calendar scheduling, freeing Alex to focus on sales calls and working with vendors.
Before working with Globaltize, Alex was putting in over 60 hours a week. Now, he’s working significantly less, has reduced stress, and can focus on growing his business. In his words: “Hiring through Globaltize was a no-brainer—I can hire 4-5 more positions and still save compared to the cost of a single domestic hire.”
