The Story

‍James O’Brien, Co-Founder and COO at Ducky, was drowning in a global sea of hundreds of resumes that lacked the right experience and time zone fit. Traditional job postings were a drain on energy, yielding low-quality results. By partnering with Revelo, Ducky transformed their workflow, moving from reviewing 40+ unqualified resumes to conducting just 6 high-impact interviews.

The Vision/Challenge

‍For a fast-moving startup, "overwhelmed" is a dangerous state. James’s challenge was to cut through the noise to find senior talent that could hit the ground running without the high costs of US-based hiring. He needed a predictable, efficient process to find specialized skills—like front-end expertise—without sacrificing weeks to a broken recruiting funnel.

The Revelo Partnership

‍Ducky utilized Revelo to replace inefficient "resume triage" with a vetted shortlist of LatAm-based talent. This shift allowed them to hire a senior front-end engineer who was shipping code in just 2 weeks. By tapping into Revelo’s nearshore network, Ducky secured time-zone aligned engineers while Revelo handled the payroll and compliance, keeping their focus entirely on product velocity.

In Their Words

“Revelo delivered exactly what we were looking for—fast, efficient, and high-quality talent. We went from 40+ resumes to 6 qualified interviews and had someone shipping code within 14 days.”
