Most of our clients come through referrals, and that’s exactly how our reputation brought us all the way to Portugal! Thanks to this, we started working with an international company specializing in visa services.
About the Client:
We were approached by the international Portuguese company MIGRONIS, which has been helping clients worldwide obtain citizenship and residence permits through investment since 2012.
What Was the Request?
Initially, the company needed to fill one position—Sales Manager (2 specialists) in Lisbon. However, just a week into our collaboration, they opened four more roles:
Lawyer, SMM Specialist, and two Copywriters.
Previous attempts to find candidates were unsuccessful due to:
High market competition.
Limited salary budget.
Advanced English proficiency requirements.
Our Approach
We launched an active search through Telegram, Instagram, job sites, and referral channels. To expand the talent pool, we targeted candidates from the U.S., Europe, and Ukraine via LinkedIn, Djinni, and DOU.
Search Results:
Reviewed 150+ LinkedIn profiles.
Conducted 42 candidate calls.
Prepared a shortlist of 5 finalists.
Within a week, we selected the best candidates, conducted video interviews, assigned test tasks, and assessed skills. The chosen candidates successfully passed final interviews with the company’s owners and started working immediately.
Results:
Time to hire: 21 days (50% faster than the market average).
Source of hire: LinkedIn.
Client’s ROI: Within 3 months, the hired candidate launched a new feature that brought in 100+ subscriptions, generating an additional $40,000 in revenue.
Key Insights:
A well-crafted offer can significantly reduce hiring time, even in a competitive market.
Emphasizing flexibility and growth attracts top talent, even when salaries aren’t the highest.
