April was the worst month in sales of new headhunting projects since the launch of @RemotelyTalents 10 months ago. Not sure what happened. There is no other way, but to do better in May.

What if you didn't have to worry about hiring remote talent? What if @RemotelyTalents took care of hiring, onboarding, paying and retaining top remote talent for your company?

Step-by-step I'm exploring how to build Talent on Lease services.

When I launched @RemotelyTalents I didn't know anything about the staffing industry.

Today I know that the volatility of this industry is somewhere next to the weather in some parts of the world - you might start the day in a blizzard and end it in a heatwave.

I want to start doing cold outreach on LinkedIn. Any good software solutions for that? Any recommendations?

#coldoutreach #coldsales #buildinpublic

We're doing a lot of cold outreach in @RemotelyTalents and I have the "honor" to get some crazy replies.. here are the best of them:

1. "f*** off you nazi bastard"
2. "I hire only russians"
3. "you stole my job from me."

I'm not building a startup. I'm building a business. That's two different things.

During Q1 we've helped to hire 17 Ukrainians in various roles: Marketing, Development, Finance, and Operations. It's ~6 Ukrainians per month.

My goal is to reach 25 Ukrainians per month. I'm not sure how, but I will reach it sooner or later.

Marketing Secret Revealed!

There is no "secret" marketing channel.

You just need to constantly test different marketing channels and make decisions based on data.

This is the average number of candidates we usually receive per headhunting project.

99 candidates and we recommend only 3.

My first business venture was to import Cocaine energy drink from the US to Europe. I was 18 years old then.

It's hard to comprehend the stupidity of this idea, but at least there's a story to laugh at.

Looking forward to having grandchildren.

I'll tell them a story how I launched a business in a country that's at war and helped people to find remote employment.

I bet I'll be the COOL grandfather.

It seems I'll need extra recruiters and talent scouts to be able to fulfill the demand for offshore talent from Ukraine.

I'm really happy & proud to see that @RemotelyTalents is growing.

The problem with services business is that you need to have more staff to do more work.

But, honestly, this is a nice problem to have.

We have 9 OPEN ROLES for ridiculously talented Ukrainians!

Entrepreneurship is cool and all... but it's only another way to generate income.

Don't forget to enjoy life.

There will always be those who admire you and those who will criticise you.

So don't think about what others think of you, be yourself and be proud of your uniqueness.

Fun fact. During the weekend I received an offer to acquire @RemotelyTalents. I must admit that it was a nice EGO boost.

But first time in my life I feel that I'm doing something purposeful, and meaningful. I like this feeling a lot, so no plans of selling.

We are growing. Happy to welcome our latest team member Daria Litvinova joining RT as Talent Acquisition Manager.

Our capacity to take on new projects is increasing and I'm super excited about that. Our goal to hire 25 Ukrainians a month is not so far away....

#buildinpublic

It was a strange week.

We couldn't start any new sourcing projects because we didn't have any capacity for that. Next week a new Talent Acquisition Manager is joining our team, so capacity is growing.

Typical problems in a service-based business.
