What Our Clients Say

"I run a LinkedIn agency in the US. I hired a copywriter through TCG and it changed everything. Now I'm bringing on a second hire to take over account management entirely."

A Network Trusted by Global Brands

The people we place have already delivered for companies that do not tolerate weak work.

People in our network have delivered for
L'Oréal Microsoft Amazon Uber Warner Bros Chelsea FC KFC AB InBev JP Morgan

If a professional has held up under the standards of a brand like these, they will hold up in your agency. That track record is the first filter, before we look at anything else.

What vetting actually means here

Every shortlist starts with people we already know, from a network of 15,000+ professionals. No job board adverts, no CV scraping. Then each one goes through five checks before you see the name.

  1. 1.Background check. We confirm they are who they say they are, and that the work history holds up.
  2. 2.Reference check. We speak to people who have actually managed them, not just the names on a list.
  3. 3.Portfolio and experience check. We look at real work against your brief: which accounts, which tools, what they owned and what it produced.
  4. 4.English check. A live conversation covering written and spoken English, because this person will be in front of your clients.
  5. 5.Connection check. We confirm their internet, power backup and home setup hold up for a full working day on your hours.

And if we get it wrong, we fix it

Every placement carries a 3-month replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves or does not work out on performance within three months, we run the search again and place someone else at no further fee.

  • One replacement per placement
  • Covers leaving or performance, not a change of scope
  • No retainer, so you only ever pay on a hire

What Changed After the Hire

Two agencies, three hires, and what it did to their capacity and their costs.

YKC Media United States

Two hires, four times the revenue

We placed a LinkedIn copywriter and a social media manager. The copywriter is still writing for them more than a year later. Over that period the agency went from £60k to £240k.

  • Roles: LinkedIn copywriter, social media manager
  • Still in post after 12+ months
£55,000 a year
saved against hiring both roles locally
The Airport Guy United Kingdom

A senior editor, and a channel at 200,000

We placed Ryan, a senior video editor in Cape Town, onto the team. He now cuts the YouTube output that took the channel to 200,000 subscribers.

  • Role: senior YouTube video editor
  • Working UK hours from Cape Town
£27,800 a year
saved against a UK editor at the same level

Savings compare market salary for the same role and seniority in the client's own market against what the hire costs through us. Salary only, before employer costs and recruitment fees.

Why Southern Africa for Remote Talent?

Southern Africa is the fastest-growing offshore talent hub for UK, EU and US agencies. GMT+2 means a full working day with the UK and EU, and a morning overlap with the US east coast. Native-level English. GDPR-aligned compliance.

Remote account managers in South Africa cost significantly less than UK hires. Remote client success managers deliver equal or better performance. All while working your exact hours.

What that means in practice

Questions Founders Ask Before Stepping Back

What if they don't work out?

We replace them. Zero fee. Our incentive is your success, not just placement. You're protected. We're accountable.

How quickly can I actually get someone in place?

72 hours from brief to shortlist. 2-3 weeks from shortlist to start date. You move fast. Growth doesn't wait.

What does it cost?

We price against what we save you. We only take a search when we can save you at least £10,000 a year, and the fee starts at a minimum fixed £3,000, agreed before we start. No retainer, no monthly fees, no percentage of salary, and a free replacement in the first three months.

Will this reduce my involvement in day-to-day operations?

That's the entire point. Client calls? Handled. Project coordination? Covered. Day-to-day oversight? Someone else's job now. You shift from operator to owner.
