Why ‘Top Recruitment Companies’ in Your Local Market May Not Be Your Best Solution
There’s a Better Way to Build Your Dream Team
Can we talk about something that keeps many business owners up at night? Hiring.
I hear the stress in their voices when they tell me about their experiences with top recruitment companies. They’ve tried the “post and pray” method. They’ve worked with staffing agencies. They’ve even engaged premium recruiters. Yet they still struggle to find the right people at the right price.
After a decade of helping business owners solve their staffing challenges, here’s what I’ve learned: Sometimes, the conventional wisdom of going with your local top recruitment companies isn’t the best path forward. Let me explain why.
Think about what happens when you hire wrong. The costs cascade through your business like a toxic waterfall. You waste money on training someone who won’t stay. Your existing team’s morale drops as they carry extra weight. Your productivity suffers. And then you’re back at square one, facing the same overwhelming challenge.
I know this pain firsthand. Years ago, I received an “I quit” text while on my first vacation in seven years from someone we’d trusted to run our property management business. That crisis led us to completely rethink our hiring approach.
Many top recruitment companies focus solely on your local market, leaving you competing for the same limited talent pool while facing ever-increasing salary demands. They overwhelm you with stacks of resumes, most from unqualified candidates, creating a time-consuming review process that pulls you away from running your business.
And when you need someone quickly? That’s when traditional recruiters often push you to compromise on quality to meet immediate needs. But hasty decisions usually create more problems than they solve.

There’s a better way.
What if you could:
- Access a wider talent pool at a fraction of local costs
- Review only thoroughly vetted candidates
- Get new team members who are pre-trained in your processes
- Have confidence in their long-term commitment
- Know all legal compliance is handled for you
At HireSmart Virtual Employees, we’ve cracked this code. While most top recruitment companies focus on local placements, we’ve built a system that connects you with outstanding global talent, specifically from the Philippines. These aren’t temporary fixes — they’re full-time, dedicated team members who work solely for you.
Nailing It: Strategies for Maximizing Your People and Processes
“We get comments and praise on her ability to go above and beyond,” said one client about their HireSmart virtual employee.
Another shared: “Geraldine has walked into our lives and completely upgraded our team’s core dynamic. She is positive, self-motivated, communicative, and inquisitive.”
We handle everything: rigorous vetting (accepting only 1% of applicants), thorough background checks, skills assessment, and a 40-hour certification program before placement. You get the best without the stress.
Most importantly, we’re your partner beyond placement. Our virtual employees receive health benefits, educational scholarships for their children, and ongoing support — all at no extra cost to you. This creates the stability you need for long-term success.
Are You Prepared to Handle a Staffing Crisis?
“Nesii always arrives to work with a smile on her face and ready to tackle any challenge or project,” said one client about their HireSmart VE. “She is a go-giver heart and is eager to support any of our team members and our community. For example, if Nesii doesn’t know how to help someone’s request to our company email, she will still respond, thanking them for their inquiry and letting them know she will get in touch with a member of our team and giving them white-glove service. We love our VE and would hire her time and time again!”
Consider this: While top recruitment companies typically charge 20-30% of a candidate’s first-year salary, our flat-rate structure means you get outstanding talent at a fraction of both local hiring and traditional recruitment costs. Our clients have secured over $56 million in payroll savings while building stronger, more efficient teams.
We’ve also eliminated the “figure-it-out-yourself” problem that comes with global hiring. Many business owners know they could find talent overseas but don’t know how to handle international labor laws, payment systems, or cultural differences. We’ve mastered these challenges and provide complete compliance and smooth operations. You get all the benefits of global hiring without any of the headaches.
