How We Cut Hiring Costs by 70% — and Filled Engineering, Marketing, HR, Support, Ops and Sales Roles with
Overseas Talent That Outperformed U.S. Hires
How we find A+ talent most companies never even get a shot at.
Where the real top 1% talent is hiding — and why you’ll never find them posting resumes online.
How we consistently hired top performers across core functions — at a fraction of typical U.S. salary expectations.
Think your hiring problem is about people?
Ghosting candidates? Low-quality resumes? Bad culture fit?
You’re not just unlucky. You’re seeing the symptoms of a deeper problem.
The real issue isn’t WHO you’re hiring — it’s WHERE you’re looking.
If you’re hiring locally, you’re in a crowded talent pool — one where top performers are snapped up fast by overfunded companies willing to outbid everyone else.
It’s not that great people don’t exist. They’re just getting harder (and more expensive) to access.
You’re not losing because you’re too picky. You’re losing because the odds are stacked against you.
If you want better results, you need to fish in a less crowded pond (and go global!).
We’ve hired and fired hundreds of people overseas. Reviewed thousands of resumes. Made more hiring mistakes than we’d care to admit.
We’ve been ghosted. Fooled by fake resumes. Burned by great skills with zero ownership.
What we have today isn’t luck.
It’s scar tissue turned into systems — a step-by-step hiring process born from frustration, trial, and hard-earned clarity.
If hiring feels like a losing game, you’re not alone.
That’s exactly why we built this.
How Upshift scaled to 8-figures with lean resources and a global-first hiring model.
Upshift didn’t raise $60 million like our competitors. We raised $6.5M — total. No glossy HQ. No PR machine. No Silicon Valley board.
Just a lean team led by co-founder Alex Pantich — who made one critical bet early: we weren’t going to win by outspending. We were going to win by out-hiring.
We were competing with companies that raised 10x more than us.
So we hired 3x faster, paid 70% less, and still hit deadlines they missed — because our people actually cared. That’s the difference between a $400K burnout hire and a $40K rising star in Central Europe.
Team of A-players. All at 30–70% less than what we’d pay in the U.S.
And the result? We didn’t just survive — we scaled to 8-figures.
In this workshop, we’ll break down exactly how we did it — and how any small to mid-sized company can use this global hiring arbitrage, even if you're just trying to fill a few critical roles.

Here's what we're doing:
21st of May, in a live and interactive setting we'll show you the systems needed to:
Hire high-caliber team members across tech, support, admin, marketing, finance and more
Cut costs by 30-70% with the same or higher quality
And build a global team that runs like clockwork across time zones.
Part 1: Why Hiring Local Puts a Cap on Your Growth — and How Going Global Blows It Off
Hiring local only? You’re playing the game with one hand tied behind your back — even if you pay premium.
Go global, and your “average” becomes elite. One move — instant upgrade.
Part 2: How to Find, Vet, and Hire A-Players Globally — Without Wasting Time or Money
A proven process for finding the kind of people who take real ownership — without relying on guesswork or gut feel.
The 5 common mistakes that derail global hiring — and how to avoid them from day one.
Part 3: How to Build a High-Performing Global Team That Sticks
How to onboard, train, and lead remote talent so well they outwork, outthink, and outstay most in-office teams.
How we built multi-year loyalty — without beanbags, beer fridges, or bribing people with free lunches.
Bonus: The Ultimate Global Hiring Playbook — Who to Hire and Where to Find Them
The no-fluff guide to the best countries for sales, admin, finance, recruiting, engineering, marketing and support.
Salary benchmarks + cultural cheat codes — so you execute clean, fast, and hard.
After the workshop, you'll be able to leverage this opportunity that lets bootstrapped companies outcompete giants — by building high-performing global teams for a fraction of the cost.
FAQ
Q: Is this just about saving money?
Nope. Cost savings are the bonus. The real goal: better people, fewer misfires.
Q: Who is this workshop for?
It’s for companies looking to grow margins by hiring smarter - in places where there’s not a lot of competition.
Q: Do I need to be technical or experienced with global hiring?
We’ll walk you through the whole playbook, even if you’re just hiring your first overseas role.
Q: What if I’ve tried offshore hiring before and got burned?
So did we—until we figured out what actually works. This workshop covers what we’ve learned from growing Upshift to 8 figures with overseas talent.
