Most agencies place a marketer and disappear. Yours enrols in the Goodwork Accelerator's AI & Automation track: two sessions a month where we map their actual workflow and build the automations with them — research, briefs, drafting, reporting, campaign QA. The goal is one to three automations live every quarter.
And we can charge less without doing less. Goodwork is an AI-native agency: automation carries the volume — sourcing, parsing, scheduling, first-pass scoring — while our recruiters spend their hours where judgement actually matters, on screening calls, assessment design and the shortlist. Every campaign still gets around 100 hours of human recruiter time. It just goes further, and the price reflects that.

Talent preference
These are what we charge to run the search and place the hire — a one-time flat fee, not a percentage of their compensation and not the compensation itself.
Our fee
From USD $2,000
~2–6 weeks · guarantee varies by tier
From a pool of 700,000+ vetted professionals. Content, paid media and SEO are remote work — this is where most teams should start.
Our fee
From USD $9,000
~6 weeks · 6-month guarantee
North America, UK, Australia and the EU. For roles that need in-market cultural fluency, on-site brand work, or same-timezone campaign management.
Recommended path: Start offshore. The pool is far larger and the search is faster. Go local only when the role truly requires someone on the ground.
Keep them improving
Post-hire training that develops your hire into an expert — and keeps your quality guarantee active for as long as they're enrolled. Three tracks: AI & Automation, EOS, and Performance. A separate monthly subscription per hire.

"You are now our secret weapon."
The process
Anyone can list tools on a CV. So we test the work instead: a live brief, a writing or campaign task, and analytics reasoning — with assessments built to be AI-resistant. What you're seeing is the candidate's ability, not a chatbot's.
A rich application built for your role — CV, LinkedIn, role-specific written questions, and language and communication samples. Every applicant answers the same questions so you can compare fairly.
Every application is reviewed. Our team builds a shortlist and actively advocates for strong candidates you might have passed over.
A 20-minute video screening call with every shortlisted candidate — professionalism, communication, compensation alignment, and anything that didn't come through in writing.
Your interviews, coordinated by our team — on-site or by video, structured with evidence-based guides we provide.
A custom practical assessment designed for the role: auto-graded take-home test with anti-AI safeguards, or a paid trial. We help design, structure, and coordinate it. Tests evaluate hard skills and the soft skills that matter for the role. Local candidates are compensated for their time.
Professional reference checks from past managers. Then an onboarding call from our team before they start.
Common questions
Some of it, yes — that's the point. What's left is the part that needs a person: deciding what to run, checking what comes back, and knowing when the answer is confidently wrong. That's who we place.
A VA follows the SOP. This is the person who notices the SOP is out of date. Different tier, different screen, different price.
Fair — most people we talk to have. We're not selling you a tool or a promise. We're placing a person, with a six-month guarantee, and you can start with a paid assessment before committing to anything.
Paid media buyers, SEO specialists, content writers and editors, marketing ops, email and lifecycle marketers, social media managers, and designers. We match the profile to your channel mix and stack.
Offshore for most roles — paid media, SEO, content and ops are remote work, and the pool is far larger. Go local when the role needs in-market cultural fluency or on-site brand work.
A live brief built around your actual offer, plus a writing or campaign task and analytics reasoning. Portfolios show finished work someone may not have done alone — a brief shows how they think.
Your hire enrols in the Goodwork Accelerator's AI & Automation track. Two sessions a month: one teaching the AI and automation possibilities for their role, one building the automation with them live. The goal is one to three working automations every quarter.
No. It's a separate monthly subscription per hire, and plenty of clients place someone without it. While a hire is enrolled, your quality guarantee stays active — see the Accelerator page for current pricing.
Most charge 20–25% of first-year salary, which means they earn more the higher the package they negotiate. We charge a flat fee that doesn't move. We also publish our prices, which almost nobody does.
Everything: the search, the full vetting process, shortlist delivery, reference checks, and the guarantee. Nothing scales with compensation.
Offshore Ready-to-Hire is around two weeks. Custom offshore searches and all local searches are around six weeks.
Flat fee, not a percentage of compensation. Quality guarantee, and AI training that keeps it active.
