Recruiting for US founders and growing teams

Exceptional people for every seat: media buyers, engineers, executive assistants and the roles in between.

The EA Bench sources and screens experienced professionals from outstanding talent markets like Lebanon, Brazil, and Argentina, where compensation is set by the local market rather than US and Canadian benchmarks. You get up to five to six finalists to interview and hire directly. One flat fee. No monthly cut of anyone's pay.

How it works

Three steps, then they're your hire.

We do the sourcing and screening. You do the interviewing and deciding. The person you hire works for you, never for us.

First

Tell us the role

A short intake on the position, hours, tools, and working style. We source against your actual job description, not a template.

Then

Meet your finalists

You receive up to five to six finalists, each pre-screened for English fluency and verified experience, interviewed by us, and introduced with a short video. For roles like software engineering, we add a work sample before you meet them.

Finally

Hire and onboard

You make the offer and set pay and schedule. Their wage goes straight to them; we stay close through onboarding and the guarantee window.

The 45-day guaranteeIf a hire isn't right within the first 45 days, we run the search again and place a replacement at no added fee. It applies to every role, every time.

The EA Bench model

A placement, not a subscription.

You hire the person, not a seat on our platform. That's the difference between us and a staffing agency that bills you forever.

You hire direct

  • Your hire joins your payroll or contracts with you directly
  • You set the pay, hours, and schedule
  • No ongoing fee to us once they start

Screened for the role

  • English fluency and written communication verified
  • Experience checked with real evidence, not claims
  • A video introduction for every finalist, plus work samples for technical roles

Guaranteed in writing

  • 45-day free replacement window on every placement
  • Direct support through onboarding
  • No lock-in, no auto-renewing contract

Pricing

$4,000 per placement, whatever the role.

Half to start the search, half when the seat is filled. An engineer search costs the same as an assistant search. You always know the number before we start.

50% deposit, due when recruiting begins$2,000
Remaining 50%, due when the position is filled$2,000
Monthly markup on your hire's pay$0

What's included

Sourcing, screening, up to five to six finalists with video introductions, work samples for technical roles, interview scheduling, offer support, and the 45-day replacement guarantee.

Your hire's wage goes straight to them. We never take a cut of it. That's why strong candidates bring us their best.
