Built Her Talent Agency To $11M/Year in Only 3 Years

Adriane SchwagerCo-founder of GrowthAssistant $11 Million annual recurring revenue Published April 22, 2024 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty

Adriane Schwager is the co-founder of GrowthAssistant, a talent vetting agency that “embeds the best offshore Growth Marketers into your company.”

They vet workers from the Philippines and started in 2021.

In a recent interview, Adriane reveals…

Revenue reached a run-rate of $11M [annual recurring revenue]. We plan to grow to over $20M by the end of 2024.

What they do

We go through over 50,000 applications per year to find the top 0.5% offshore talent for our clients.

They don’t just match talent, they also manage them and charge clients starting at $3000/mo.

GrowthAssistant has positive online reviews from workers. Apparently they provide paid leave, health care and other benefits. That’s atypical, and surely helps them hire the best talent

As you might guess, Adriane has a background in HR…

I must have done 10,000+ interviews before I left [my corporate job] after 14 years.

How she got the idea for GrowthAssistant…

My childhood friend, Jesse Pujji, who had been doing very well with his digital marketing agency, Ampush…

We started a two-hour phone call by sharing business ideas from our lists.

Jesse outlined the vision for what would become GrowthAssistant. That call ended with me committing to building the offshore talent acquisition partner that had been on his list.

Jesse had a pretty big network and about 8k followers on X.

Along with Adriane’s HR skills, that was key to a successful launch…

$50k [monthly recurring revenue] in under 100 days.

Jesse’s network helped us A LOT initially. He knows so many people and opened so many doors. Most of our first customers came through it. 

But hey, that was one of “unfair advantages” and I think we used (and still use) it quite well.

What unfair advantages do you have?

Could be someone you know, a community you’re connected to, skills or experience you bring to the table, etc.

How can you leverage something like that to build your business?
