Success Stories is a regular series all about the talent our clients hire via Somewhere and how much they cost. New here? Somewhere is a headhunter agency that helps small businesses hire top overseas talent for 80% less than US equivalents.

Editor’s note: some customers prefer not to be named, so we’ve purposefully removed their company name in this article. We’re their secret weapon :-)

What does this client’s business do?

The client is an organization that helps high school and college students pay for their tuition through financial aids and scholarship grants. Students who use their website can file a single application for all grants possible.

Who was hired and what was their role?

The organization needed a data miner who can help them scrape and index their data so they can process at least 200 scholarships monthly. We helped them hire Angelika Felize, who now:

  • Imports and generates grant application forms.
  • Scrapes and indexes scholarships.
  • Ensures they collect all information needed to process applications.

What is the salary of the individual they hired?

Angelika now works full-time in the client’s time zone for $900/month.

What was the candidate’s background prior to being hired?

A good fit for the company, Angelika was looking for more purposeful work and was happy to land a job at an organization that helps students finish school. Her background also matches client requirements as she has six years of experience in data entry, encoding, lead generation, and data processing. In addition, she is also experienced in e-mail management, sales, and social media management.
