At VA MASTERS, we believe in precision recruitment—not just filling positions. When a client recently approached us with a critical need for a GoHighLevel expert, we didn’t just deliver a candidate. We delivered transformation.
Our client was drowning in complexity—managing over 15 live funnels, multiple integrations, and advanced reporting systems without the right technical expertise. They needed someone who could step in immediately and take control. Not a generalist. Not someone who “knew a bit about GHL.” They needed a true expert.
“The client was very impressed with the quality of the shortlist, and they ultimately selected a candidate who exceeded all expectations,” shares Jersey, our recruitment manager who led this search. “Even better, this hire came at less than half the cost of hiring a similarly experienced expert in the US.”
What Can We Learn From This Recruitment Success?
This isn’t just about filling a role—it’s about strategic talent acquisition that transforms businesses. Here’s what this case teaches us:
Precision Beats Volume
Instead of flooding our client with dozens of mediocre candidates, we presented just three highly qualified GoHighLevel experts. Each one was thoroughly vetted, tested, and capable of executing advanced automation, funnel design, and tracking from day one.
Custom Testing Reveals True Expertise
Generic assessments don’t work for specialized roles. We designed a two-part skill test specifically for GHL expertise, including LMS migration and lead nurture automation scenarios. This approach filtered out pretenders and identified genuine experts.
Strategic Sourcing Expands Talent Pools
By leveraging multiple platforms—LinkedIn, JobStreet, Facebook, WhatsApp, and targeted email outreach—we accessed hidden talent that traditional job postings miss. Our sourcing team didn’t wait for applicants; they actively hunted for the best.
Cost Savings Don’t Mean Quality Sacrifice
The winning candidate brought the same expertise as a $30-50/hour US specialist but at just $15-20/hour. That’s a 60-70% cost reduction without compromising on skills, experience, or results.
Why Expert Virtual Talent Matters More Than Ever
In today’s competitive landscape, having the right technical expertise can make or break your growth. Here’s what our client achieved:
- Immediate Impact: No ramp-up time—their new GHL expert took control from day one
- $40,000+ Annual Savings: Compared to hiring locally with the same expertise level
- Scalable Systems: Professional optimization of all 15+ funnels and automations
- Peace of Mind: From chaos to control with one strategic hire
