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 — including a senior front-end engineer skilled in React who was shipping code in just 2 weeks.

By tapping into Revelo's nearshore network, Ducky secured time-zone aligned talent that plugged directly into their existing codebase. This shift let James move fast on product velocity without sacrificing the quality bar his team holds itself to.

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."
