Local marketing hires were becoming too expensive

As the company grew, it needed more marketing capacity to support its e-commerce operations. The team required experienced people who understood digital marketing, customer engagement, and the pace of online retail.

Hiring locally in the US was becoming expensive, especially for mid and senior marketing profiles. At the same time, the company did not want to lower the quality of its hires or spend too much internal time searching across unfamiliar talent markets.

They needed a practical way to access experienced marketing talent while keeping hiring costs under control.

Need to grow your marketing team more sustainably?

Globedesk helps companies recruit remote marketing professionals across LATAM with a simple and flexible recruitment model.

Why LATAM Marketing Talent Was the Right Fit

The client needed quality, cost-efficiency, and time zone alignment

LATAM was a strong fit because it offered access to skilled marketing professionals who could work closely with a US-based team. The time zone overlap made collaboration easier, while the wider talent pool gave the client more flexibility than relying only on local hiring.

For this case, the client did not need a full Employer of Record or managed team model. They wanted recruitment support to find the right people, then manage the working relationship directly.

That made Globedesk’s recruitment model the right fit: focused, flexible, and simple to scale as new hiring needs appeared.

How the Recruitment Setup Worked

A focused process for remote marketing roles

Globedesk worked with the client to understand the type of marketing talent they needed, including role expectations, seniority level, communication skills, and remote work fit.

From there, Globedesk sourced and screened candidates across LATAM, focusing on profiles with practical marketing experience and the ability to contribute in a remote e-commerce environment.

The process included

This gave the client a repeatable recruitment process instead of starting from zero every time they needed a new hire.
