How is Hello Yeti different from Fiverr or other similar platforms?

Fiverr can be a great tool for finding support for small projects, but generally it is not a resource designed for full-time hires. Full-time candidates require a lot of vetting, back-and-forth communication, legal understanding, and research, and bad ones can cost your business lots of money and time. That’s where we come in. We take the uncertainty and risk out of your search for affordable, reliable talent.

Why wouldn’t I just recruit international talent myself?

Because it’s difficult and sometimes comes with legal pitfalls. Without the right system to vet international prospects, you can spend weeks or months finding someone only to realize they aren’t who they say they are, or that you aren’t set up to handle HR correctly in their country. We take complete ownership of the vetting and recruitment process, and our team has years of experience vetting offshore employees.

How does Hello Yeti find candidates?

We have teams on the ground in our most popular recruitment locations who help us find amazing candidates. Our teams have years of experience vetting, interviewing, and hiring international talent for major American companies.

Where will my talent be located?

To keep your talent in or very near US time zones, we usually recruit from Central and South America. However, based on the need, we can recruit in places like Africa and Asia.

Do your candidates speak English?

Yes, we thoroughly vet the English skills of all our candidates.

How long does the entire process take, including onboarding?

2-3 weeks on average, but that can change depending on the specific needs of your business.

I don’t know which roles I should send abroad and which ones I should keep in the US.

There are certainly some jobs which are better left in the States, but ultimately the ratio of stateside to international hiring depends on your business’s specific needs and goals. We’d love to talk with you to figure out the proper balance for your business.

Are your candidates treated well and paid fairly?

Yes. We negotiate with all our candidates to come up with a salary they are very happy with and allows them to support themselves and their families.

What if my new talent doesn’t do a good job? Can I fire them?

Yes. For normal performance issues, we require a written warning clearly outlining expectations for improvement in a 2-4 week period. If no improvement, we will find a replacement in 1-2 weeks. For ethical breaches like stealing or harassment, immediate action can be taken without a warning.

What if I don’t need a candidate for 40 hours/week? Can I hire them part-time?

We are open to helping with part-time hires. However, part-time employees may have other obligations that affect their schedule. We’re happy to talk through options with you.

Can my new candidate quit once I’ve hired them?

Yes. Your new talent is like any internal hire. We thoroughly vet candidates to minimize risks, but creating a supportive environment is key to retention.

After I hire a new candidate, will Hello Yeti manage them for me?

No. The candidate will function as an employee of your business, and you’ll be responsible for managing them. We check in monthly to ensure things are going well.

Does Hello Yeti handle the payroll for my new talent?

Yes. We handle the ongoing payroll needs of the candidate, and can manage bonuses or additional pay without taking a cut.

Why wouldn’t I just hire a local marketing agency to do my marketing tasks?

Because local agencies will deliver similar quality work but at a much higher cost than hiring international talent.

Is Hello Yeti a marketing agency?

No. We are a staffing agency that connects businesses with international professionals. For direct marketing services, we recommend our sister company Ghost Sherpa.

What is Hello Yeti’s cancellation policy?

You can cancel anytime with a 30-day notice. You’re never locked into a long-term contract.

How long is your contract term?

We don’t do long-term contracts. All services are billed month-to-month, ensuring flexibility and high service quality.
