“I thought the whole system overall is just really easy. Sales, then hiring, then I had an employee basically.”

Adam Johnson
On The Outskirt Marketing

Background

On The Outskirt Marketing is a marketing agency founded by Adam. This was his first time hiring any employee, and he decided to go with a virtual hire. He had already seen the results firsthand at his previous company, where his former employer had hired three VAs through Remote Leverage.

After watching them work and seeing the quality, he knew where to go when it was time to build his own team.

The Challenges

  • First time hiring any employee, with no prior experience managing the process
  • Needed a virtual team member who could handle a wide range of marketing tasks
  • Had a long list of requirements and needed help narrowing down what mattered most
  • Wanted a simple, guided process without the complexity of traditional recruiting

Why Remote Leverage

Adam came in through a referral and already had confidence in the process. From the first call, everything moved quickly and smoothly:

  • The sales process was straightforward with no unnecessary steps
  • Miguel, his dedicated hiring manager, spent time understanding exactly what he needed
  • Miguel helped him prioritize his requirements and set realistic expectations for the hire
  • Four qualified candidates were presented, all of whom would have been a good fit
  • One candidate stood out clearly above the rest
  • Adam was able to ask follow-up questions to confirm fit before making his final decision


Client Feedback: “Miguel really helped me kind of narrow down. I had a pretty long list of stuff I was wanting, and he was just letting me know, ‘Hey, we might not be able to get all of those things, but what are kind of the most important parts to you?”

The Results

  • Four strong candidates presented, all viable options
  • One standout hire identified quickly
  • Entire process from sales call to chosen candidate was fast and simple
  • New hire starting the following week

The Benefits

  • A guided first hiring experience that removed the guesswork
  • A hiring manager who helped define the role and set the right expectations
  • Multiple qualified candidates to choose from, not just one option
  • A process simple enough for a first-time employer to navigate with confidence
