Hire remote talent for your agency in 3 weeks
Growthbuddy helps marketing agencies add vetted remote people across delivery, project management, new business and finance, at a cost that protects margin as the agency grows.
The Marketing Agencies problem
Agencies grow in steps. You win a retainer, and suddenly you need people who can run that work properly from week one.
Hiring locally at the salary a good specialist commands can consume most of the margin on the account that created the need. And delivery is only half of it. Projects need coordinating, invoices need raising and chasing across a dozen clients, and someone has to keep new business moving. So the work gets absorbed by people who are already full, quality drifts, and the founders end up back in delivery.
Common hiring pressures
The pressure on agencies is timing as much as cost. Client work arrives on the client's schedule, and a hiring process measured in months rarely matches it. Every hire has to earn its place against the revenue it supports, so the wrong appointment is felt immediately in the numbers. And the roles that keep an agency running smoothly are often the least glamorous ones to justify.

How those roles support the business
The right people change the economics of an account. Work gets delivered by someone who has done it before, projects land when they were supposed to, invoices go out on time, and the founders get their weeks back. Agencies that get this right find they can say yes to work they would previously have turned down.
Take on more clients
Capacity arrives before the account starts, so new business stops being a delivery risk.
Protect your margin
Delivery and admin costs stay proportionate to what the retainer actually pays.
Get founders out of delivery
Client work runs without the people who should be building the business.
What we vet for
Agency work is unforgiving, because the people you hire produce work your clients see and often speak to them directly. We look hard at whether someone can hold their own in a client conversation, work to a brief, and take feedback without friction. Communication carries as much weight as technical skill.
Screening call
A 30 minute conversation covering their background and how clearly they communicate.
Case study
A three hour assessment built around the role, so we see how they actually work.
In-depth interview
A 60 to 90 minute deep dive, with communication and culture fit assessed throughout.
The working model
The people we place work as part of your agency, in your tools and your client meetings where you want them there. They sit on our payroll, so you carry no employment overhead, and we keep coaching them month after month. How you present them to clients is entirely up to you.

Final thoughts
Agencies grow one account at a time, and every one of them needs delivering, coordinating and billing. Getting that capacity in place quickly, at a cost the retainer can carry, is usually what decides whether growth feels good or painful. book a free consultation with Growthbuddy
