The challenge
Despite having an internal HR team, Opascope hit a wall when it came to sourcing high-caliber global talent and doing it fast.
"Quality, quantity, and speed were the big blockers. We had local expertise in markets like Colombia, but we wanted to find the best talent across borders — not just the most affordable."
- Max Thilen, Co-Founder @ Opascope
Their experience with other offshore recruiters had left much to be desired. The process was often slow, inconsistent, or marked by unnecessary calls and back-and-forth communication.
The GrowthPair solution
Opascope partnered with GrowthPair to source a top-tier video editor, fast. Within hours of sharing the brief, GrowthPair delivered a shortlist of vetted candidates. Max's team also required all the candidates to complete a video editing assessment test, which was turned around in just a few hours. From brief to hire, the entire process took only three days.
"I sent over the video editor brief, and I had three strong candidates in my inbox before the end of the day. We had a test video back in a couple of hours. That level of turnaround was game-changing."
The results
- Speed: 3-day hiring cycle from initial brief to signed offer
- Talent Quality: Immediate uplift in video content performance
- Efficiency: No excess meetings, just clear profiles and fast decisions

Daniel quickly became a key contributor to Opascope’s creative output. Not only did he bring a polished skill set to the table, but his fresh perspective and initiative instantly made him a standout team player. Within weeks, Daniel’s edits were becoming the new internal benchmark.
"Every video Daniel touches is just better. He’s raised the bar on our content — and he's just a joy to work with."
What Max would say to someone on the fence
"There’s no real downside. You pay a small deposit, and for the speed and quality of what you get? It’s a no-brainer. Just do it."
Max had heard of GrowthPair through trusted founder circles. Despite a higher price point than other options, he saw it as an investment. One that paid off. Opascope plans to scale its video product and grow its global team, and GrowthPair will remain a core hiring partner.
"We’re continuing to win new business, and that means expanding the team. GrowthPair will be part of that journey."
TL;DR
GrowthPair helped Opascope:
