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.
Southwest Painting Contractors of Florida is a painting business in the Tampa Bay market, led by founder and president Juan Villagrana, who has run it for about 18 years. Juan came to Remote Latinos to fill an account management role. He knew he could probably find the right person on his own, but the real cost was the time it would take, and time was what he could least afford to spend.
How can a painting contractor fill an account manager role with industry-relevant experience without spending the owner's time on the search?
The question was not whether the right candidate existed, but how much time and effort it would take to find one. Running the search himself would pull Juan away from leading the business. Remote candidates come from mixed backgrounds, so finding someone with the right industry experience is hard. Juan also weighed the investment carefully and wanted to be sure it would return real value before committing.
A deep intake and fast, industry-focused sourcing that produced an account manager match in about a week.
Remote Latinos worked around Juan's situation as a business and asked to earn the chance to prove the value it could bring. The intake went deep on who Juan is, what the business does, and exactly what he needed in an account manager.
Within 48 hours Juan had a list of candidates, and within 72 hours the standout was someone whose background matched his industry. The full match, with Angel, came together in about a week.
After Juan decided to move forward, Remote Latinos kept up steady follow-up. At the time of the case study Angel had not started yet, so the results reflect the speed and fit of the match rather than on-the-job performance.
Juan Villagrana had a candidate list within 48 hours and an industry-matched standout within 72 hours. The full account manager match came together in about a week, which kept the search from consuming his time as the leader of the business.
The candidate's background matched the painting industry, which Juan noted is uncommon for remote roles. He also pointed to the candidate's caliber and the attitude and mindset he saw from the first interview through the intake.
He knew he could probably find the right person himself, but the real cost was his time. Remote Latinos worked around his situation as a business, ran a deep intake on his needs, and handled the search so he could stay focused on leading the company.
Yes. Most of Latin America shares or closely overlaps U.S. time zones, so a remote account manager based there can work alongside a Florida team in real time during the business day.
"Within a week's time they found a candidate that literally fulfilled the role I was looking for. It was worth the investment."
