Deep Dive

One of the main reasons a startup needs money is to hire the best people. But how can you compete with big companies that have lots of money when your business is just starting?

It's simple: hire from other countries.

You might think, "Calvin, there's no way the talent is as good as in the US."

You're right. They aren’t, unless you hire someone more experienced abroad.

Let’s say you need a copywriter.

You want to hire someone who writes perfect English and can create content that connects with your audience. Normally, you would hire in the US or other English-speaking countries. But these countries have higher salaries.

You don’t want to give up quality, but you also want to save money.

Here’s how:

If you hire a copywriter in the US with 3 years of experience, it would cost you around $65,000 per year.

A US-based copywriter understands the language well, which usually makes them better than a copywriter from other countries.

That’s why, to match the level of a US-based copywriter, you should hire a senior copywriter from Asia with 8 years of experience. This will cost you about $30,000 per year.

Not only are you saving money, but you can also be sure that this senior copywriter will have English skills as good as a US-based copywriter. Their years of experience show that their English is as good, if not better, than a US-based copywriter.

Congrats, you got someone better and more experienced while saving on staffing costs.

That’s the power of global talent.
