Juan is the founder and president of Southwest Painting Contractors of Florida, a painting business he has run in the Tampa Bay market for about 18 years. He came to Remote Latinos looking to fill an account management role.
Like most owners, he weighed the investment carefully. He knew he could probably find the right person on his own, but the real cost was the time it would take, and that time was the thing he could least afford to spend.
The problem was not whether the right candidate existed. It was the time and effort it takes to find one.
What tipped the decision for Juan was the flexibility. Remote Latinos worked around his situation as a business and asked to earn the chance to prove the value they could bring. The intake went deep on who he is, what the business does, and exactly what he needed, with steady follow up after he decided to move forward.
Within 48 hours he had a list of candidates, and within 72 hours the standout was someone whose background matched his industry, which he noted is rare for remote roles. The full match came together in about a week.
"Within a week's time they found a candidate that literally fulfilled the role I was looking for. It was worth the investment."
Juan had a matched candidate list within 48 hours and his account management hire, Angel, lined up within about a week. Angel has not started yet, so the story here is the speed and the fit rather than performance. Juan rated the experience a 10, pointing to the caliber of the candidate and the attitude and mindset he saw from the first interview through the intake, which is exactly what he wanted on day one.
An account management role for his painting business in the Tampa Bay area.
He had a candidate list within 48 hours and an industry matched standout within 72 hours.
The candidate's background actually matched his industry, which Juan noted is uncommon for remote roles.
