Pick us if you want a dedicated marketer who’s ready from day one and trained on AI through GrowthPair University.

Skip us if you need someone part-time or this week. We only place full-time hires, and a great pairing takes about 3 weeks.

Somewhere hires for every function, from executive assistants to CMOs, in Latin America, South Africa, and the Philippines. Direct hires cost a one-time 25% to 35% of first-year salary, with a 6-month guarantee.

Pick it if you want to see a candidate’s real work before interviewing.

Watch for pricing and terms, which aren’t published.

How to pick the right partner

Marketing only or generalist?

A generalist agency is fine for an assistant. For a paid social hire, you want someone who’s run ad accounts doing the interview.

What does the price include?

Some agencies quote the talent’s salary, some quote all-in. Ask whether payroll, benefits, and the agency fee are inside the number.

What happens if it doesn’t work out?

Guarantees on this list range from 30 days to as long as you’re a client. Check the length before you sign.

Staffing agency

FAQs

What’s the best staffing agency for hiring global marketers?

It depends on the role. For a full-time marketer vetted by marketers, we’d pick GrowthPair (we’re biased; that’s us). For a mix of marketing and ops assistants, GrowthAssistant. For hiring across every department in Latin America, Near.

How much does a global marketer cost through an agency?

Usually $1,600 to $4,000 a month. Published all-in rates on this list run from about $1,600 a month (MultiplyMii, Philippines, entry level) to about $4,000 (GrowthPair, on average). Rates depend on the role, seniority, and region.

What’s the difference between a staffing agency and a freelance marketplace?

A staffing agency recruits, vets, and usually employs a full-time hire for you. A marketplace like Upwork or Toptal connects you with freelancers you contract with directly, often part-time or by the hour.
