Black Lotus founder Steve Alexander spent three days sorting thousands of unqualified Indeed applicants. Remote Latinos presented specialized wholesaling candidates in about a week, each with a video introduction and DISC assessment. Steve hired two acquisition managers and a transaction coordinator, and one new hire closed a deal within their first week on the job.
Remote Latinos is a talent platform that connects growing companies across the United States, Canada, and Mexico with pre-vetted remote professionals, virtual assistants, and dedicated teams based in Latin America.
Black Lotus is a U.S.-based real estate wholesaling company, founded by Steve Alexander, that operates across 15 states. To keep growing, Steve needed people who already understood acquisitions, seller conversations, and the fast-moving pace of wholesaling. He started on Indeed, hoping to find experienced hires on his own, but found volume without quality.
How can a real estate wholesaling company hire experienced acquisition managers without screening thousands of unqualified applicants?
The problem was never a shortage of applicants. Steve spent three days on Indeed sorting through thousands of them, and many lacked the experience or misrepresented what they could do. He needed people who already knew acquisitions and seller conversations, not a general talent pool he would have to train from scratch.
Industry-specialized Latin American talent, presented with video introductions and DISC assessments, to build a wholesaling team fast.
Steve needed professionals who already understood real estate wholesaling, acquisitions, and seller conversations. Rather than another pile of resumes, he wanted candidates he would not have to train on the fundamentals of the role.
Instead of sending more resumes, Remote Latinos presented specialized candidates in about a week. Each arrived with a video introduction and a DISC assessment, so Steve could judge communication, personality, and fit before running an interview. Because Remote Latinos knows the wholesaling world, down to running a podcast about it, Steve did not have to explain the basics of the role. He hired two acquisition managers and a transaction coordinator.
The new team got to work quickly. One of the new hires closed their first deal within their first week on the job, showing how fast industry-ready hires can contribute.
Black Lotus hired three specialized professionals for its real estate wholesaling business: two acquisition managers and one transaction coordinator. Founder Steve Alexander needed people who already understood acquisitions and seller conversations, so the team could contribute without being trained from scratch.
Very fast. One of the new hires closed their first deal within their first week on the job. Remote Latinos presented specialized candidates in about a week, and all three hires came together within 30 days.
Each candidate arrived with a video introduction and a DISC assessment. That let Steve evaluate communication, personality, and fit before he ever ran an interview, instead of screening thousands of unrelated applicants as he had on Indeed.
Steve spent three days on Indeed sorting through thousands of applicants, many of whom lacked experience or misrepresented it. Remote Latinos knows the wholesaling world, so he received specialized candidates instead. In his words, for wholesaling specifically, Remote Latinos is far and away the best.
"For wholesaling specifically, you guys are far and away the best. It's not even close."
