The problems
Finding great talent is difficult and time-consuming.
They need to be skilled and deliver results.
They need to communicate well.
They need to be a cultural fit.
And after everything, there's no guarantee they'll stick around.
We built Growthbuddy to solve all of this, affordably.

What we do
We find the person. You just say yes.
We help you hire sharp people from across the world, prove they are good before you meet them, put them on our payroll, and keep coaching them long after they join your team.
We look everywhere
You are no longer limited to who lives near you, or who happens to be looking right now.
We dig deep
Three stages before you meet anyone. A screening call, a case study, and a deep technical interview.
We employ them
They sit on our payroll, not your headcount. No entity to set up, no contracts, no admin.
We coach them
We coach them every month after they join, and we notice before you do if something starts to slip.
Around 60% less than hiring the same person near you. Nothing to pay until you hire.

How it works
From first call to shortlist,
in 3 weeks
Step 1
Day 1
We learn the role
One call to understand your business, the role you need filled, and the kind of person who will actually do well on your team.
Step 2
Days 2 to 3
We build the brief
We write a job description people want to apply to, then design the technical interview and case study for you to approve.
Step 3
Days 4 to 12
We go and find them
We post the role and approach people directly, including those not looking. Screening calls run as we go, calibrating with you.
Step 4
Days 13 to 20
We test them properly
A three hour case study if needed, then a sixty to ninety minute technical interview. We assess culture and communication throughout.
Step 5
Day 21
You meet the shortlist
Two or three people, each one we would hire ourselves. Most clients know which one they want within thirty minutes of meeting them.
In three weeks of work, we ask for only 30 to 45 minutes of your time.

FAQ
Commonly asked questions
The things teams usually ask before they get started.
Where do the team members work?
They work remotely, aligned to your business hours, so they’re online and reachable exactly when your team is. In practice, it’s identical to having someone in-house – they join your meetings, use your tools, and live in your Slack channels day to day.
Who employs them?
We do – every team member is officially employed by Growthbuddy and sits on our payroll. That means we take care of the contracts, taxes, and cross-border compliance behind the scenes, so you get a dedicated person without any of the legal or admin overhead landing on your desk.
How much does it cost?
It’s a simple flat monthly fee for each team member, with nothing to pay up front. You’re only charged for as long as they stay with you, which keeps your costs predictable and means the fee stops the moment they do. See pricing →
What if it doesn’t work out?
If a match isn’t working out, we’ll step in and find you a replacement at no extra cost. And because you only ever pay while someone is actively on your team, you’re never left locked into a hire that isn’t pulling its weight.
How long until I meet candidates?
Usually, within a few weeks of our first call. We’d much rather take a little longer to test people properly than rush an unvetted name in front of you – but you certainly won’t be left waiting around for months.
What kinds of roles do you fill?
We focus on marketing, operations, customer success, strategy, and finance roles. Whatever the function, every person we place brings at least three years of real, hands-on experience – we don’t deal in juniors or jacks-of-all-trades.
"Growthbuddy make recruitment look easy! Avani and the team don't leave any stone unturned in the process and always deliver. I am super impressed and wholeheartedly recommend it!"
