THE PROCESS
How it works
From your first call to your new hire's first day.
Strategy Call
You tell us what you need. We align on the role, culture fit, budget, and timeline and build a sourcing strategy around it.
Sourcing
We cast a wide net. Hundreds of candidates are sourced and reviewed so you never have to open a job board yourself.
Screening & Assessments
Every candidate goes through structured interviews and a role-specific assessment built around your role, not pulled from a template.
Your Shortlist
You receive 5–7 vetted finalists with a detailed scorecard: interview notes, assessment results, and our recommendation. Not happy with the batch? We go again until you are.
Final Interviews
You meet your top candidates. We prep them, handle scheduling, and manage follow-ups. Your only job is judging fit.
You manage the work.
We manage the person.
Once the offer is signed, we handle contracts, onboarding, and payroll. From day one we run performance check-ins, time tracking, leave, and ongoing HR, with a replacement guarantee that lasts as long as your membership.
Your hire. Your team. Protected.
Once the offer is signed, we hand over your new hire and stay close through the handover. You take it from there with placement protection in your back pocket.
Every path starts the same. Where it goes is up to you.
TESTIMONIALS
What founders say after working with us
Justin Recinos
Co Founder, Mint Ave Inc
"I would have never been able to meet and start working with these people if it weren’t for the team over at Mint Source."

CASE STUDIES
How it played out
.avif)
Email Marketing Agency, UKKlaviyo Platinum PartnerWe placed their COO. Then their entire team.
Challenge
When the founder was running copy, design, client delivery, and hiring all at once on a team of 10, every freelancer hire from job boards drifted out within months. They needed long-term operators across multiple specialisms, each with their own region, seniority, and skill profile.
Solution
The first hire we made was a Project Manager. They were promoted to COO within six months. From that anchor, Mint Source helped build the rest of the team out role by role across both Full-Suite HR and Recruitment-Only models. The founder hasn’t run a hiring process themselves since.
Result
Roughly 30 hires placed lifetime, including the COO. 12 are currently embedded full-time on Full-Suite HR; the rest sit inside the agency as direct internal staff. The team we helped build powers a Klaviyo Platinum agency running 50+ brands, and the founder has since referred nearly 10 other agencies to us.
“I trust you guys. You’ve helped me find A+ candidates, which is why I’m always happy to refer you to anyone in my network.”
Saif Akram, Founder, Monetize Mail
Email Marketing Agency, CanadaThree years. Ten hires. $100M+ in client revenue.
Challenge
When founders Jasper and Justin first came to us, they were rebuilding their agency after recurring freelancer drop-off had stalled their roster of DTC brands. They had tried other recruiters and freelance routes without finding anything secure or scalable. They needed a partner who could grow with them, not just fill seats.
Solution
Over three years, Mint Source has helped build out the agency’s entire creative bench. We’ve placed designers, copywriters, an email marketing specialist, an account manager, and a cold outreach specialist who was eventually bought out as a direct internal hire.
Result
The team we helped build has helped Mint Ave generate $100M+ in client revenue through email, scaling their DTC client roster across six active brands without ever needing an internal recruiter or HR lead. In October 2024, they became the first agency to sign onto our Full-Suite HR Membership.
“Mint Source and Mint Ave. We weren’t planning the name match, but it tracks. They care about our agency like it’s their own.”
Justin Recinos, Co-founder, Mint Ave Inc

Got Questions? Start Here
What's the difference between Recruitment-Only and Full-Suite HR?
Both models use the same recruitment process. The difference is what happens after the hire. With Recruitment-Only, we find and vet your candidate, support the offer process, and hand them over to you. You manage them directly. With Full-Suite HR, we stay on as your HR partner. We handle contracts, payroll, compliance, performance reviews, leave management, and replacements on an ongoing basis. Most clients hiring for execution-heavy roles choose Full-Suite. Clients hiring for senior or leadership roles tend to go with Recruitment-Only. See everything included in each model on our Full-Suite HR and Recruitment-Only services page.
How does pricing work?
Full-Suite HR is a flat monthly management fee of $275 to $325 per hire, depending on headcount. No finder's fees. Recruitment-Only is a one-time placement fee equal to one month's salary, with a $1,500 minimum. Both start with a strategy call.
What roles do you specialize in?
We place across marketing, operations, and creative roles. The most common: email marketers, graphic designers, social media managers, virtual assistants, copywriters, video editors, project managers, and paid ads managers. If you have a role not listed here, book a strategy call and we'll tell you if we can fill it.
How long does it typically take to fill a role?
Your first shortlist of 5-7 vetted candidates typically lands within 7 days. And we back it with a hard deadline in writing: if your shortlist hasn't landed within 14 business days, your search fee comes back in full. From there, the timeline depends on how quickly you move through final interviews; some roles close within a week of the shortlist. If the first batch isn't right, we keep going until it is.
What happens if a hire doesn’t work out?
On Full-Suite HR, you're covered by our replacement guarantee for as long as you're a member. If a hire leaves or doesn't work out, we find a replacement at no extra recruitment cost. On Recruitment-Only, you have 30-day placement protection, with the option to extend to 60 or 90 days.
Where do you source candidates from?
Wherever the role calls for it. Pakistan, the Philippines, South Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America are popular picks among our clients. We'll recommend the best region based on the role, timezone requirements, and budget on your strategy call.
Where are your clients based?
We work with agencies, ecom brands, and startups across North America, the UK, and Europe. As long as your team operates remotely, we can support you.
How involved am I in the hiring process?
You join a strategy call at the start, review a scorecard when your shortlist is ready, and do final interviews with your top candidates. That's it. Sourcing, screening, assessments, and coordination are all handled by us.
Can I start with one model and switch later?
Yes. Some clients start with Recruitment-Only for a senior hire and move to Full-Suite HR when they're ready to scale. Others start with Full-Suite from day one. We'll help you figure out which model fits on the strategy call.
