Pattern Brands had been working with multiple vendors, that weren’t Scale Army, to grow their offshore teams and kept finding the talent to be mediocre. We presented Pattern with a bunch of candidates across UI, Data Analytics, Operations, and Customer Success. “We loved the people you guys brought to the table”, Suze, the co-founder of Pattern said, “and what made Scale Army different was that it felt like you cared about finding the right person for us, as opposed to just any person. It felt like a partner, rather than an offshore churn-and-burn model. It’s been amazing working with you all.” We then went on to find Pattern talent across operations, lifecycle, and paid ads. Pattern Brands has now kindly introduced us to all their friends.
Hires across marketing, sales, operations, support, engineering
Norby, an AI-powered content creator SaaS product, needed a content-savvy Marketing Manager to handle content + lifecycle + CRO. In the span of a few weeks, we found candidates with B2B GTM lead gen experience who knew HubSpot + ClickUp, who had excellent English, and who were a boatload better than anyone they had been able to find offshore. They ramped up her to manage all lifecycle and content and then quickly referred us to three other venture-backed startups.
Cost savings compared to hiring an equivalent U.S. hire
RyOutfitters needed an Email Marketer to help them roll out a B2B Klaviyo offering to their clients, and they needed someone who could also do a bit of dev + design. Within a week, we were able to find them a Native-English speaking, email marketer who was not only able to help them scale their new product, but was also handling front-end issues as well as copy and design. Shortly after RyOutfitters made two referrals 😉
