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

"Our front-end engineer was placed through Revelo and he was able to be a contributing, code-shipping member of our team in a week and a half, two weeks."
