The Challenge: Finding Affordable and Skilled Talent
DigitalBoost faced two main problems: the high cost of hiring locally and the scarcity of Webflow experts in their area. They needed a developer who was not only good at using Webflow but also understood how to create websites that attract customers.
TalentHaul's Solution: Looking Beyond Local Borders
TalentHaul suggested looking for candidates in Central Eastern Europe (CEE) and Latin America (LATAM). These regions are known for having many skilled tech professionals who often charge less than those in the US.
Understanding DigitalBoost's Requirements: First, TalentHaul worked closely with DigitalBoost to understand exactly what they needed in a Webflow developer.
Searching for Candidates: TalentHaul used its network to find potential candidates from CEE and LATAM with the right skills.
Checking Candidate Quality: They carefully checked each candidate's work and skills. This included looking at their past web design projects and testing their English language skills.
