    What's inside

    7 steps + a bonus tip

    01
    Figure out what role to hire for first
    A simple way to identify what to hand off before you post anything.
    02
    Where to find candidates and what to budget
    Philippines, Latin America, Eastern Europe — what to expect from each market and realistic rate ranges for 2026.
    03
    Write a job post that filters the wrong people out
    What to include so the right candidates apply and everyone else self-selects out before you read a single resume.
    04
    The filter that cuts your shortlist in half
    One simple ask — before any call — that tells you everything you need to know. Most people skip this. They shouldn't.
    05
    The interview — one call to meet, one to close
    What to look for and why needing five calls to decide is a red flag, not a sign to keep going.
    06
    How to make the offer and onboard properly
    What to include in a written offer, how to handle time zones, holidays across different countries, and how to set the first two weeks up for success.
    07
    Bonus tip — save money on every future hire
    A simple habit to start from your very first hire that makes every future one faster and cheaper.
