Hey, We're Marco

Marco is a global talent recruitment company that connects fast-growing businesses with the top 1% of remote professionals from Latin America, South Africa, and the Philippines. Every candidate passes a five-stage vetting process: English fluency, personality assessment, role-specific skills testing, live interview, and a two-week onboarding program, resulting in less than a 1% acceptance rate. Marco places talent across 100+ roles in eight departments, within an average of 21 days, at up to 80% less than domestic hiring costs. All hires are backed by a 180-day free replacement policy.

Marco uses a five-stage vetting process. First, candidates are evaluated on a C2-level English fluency assessment, which eliminates 60% of applicants. Next is a multi-factor personality evaluation, followed by role-specific skills testing. Candidates who pass then complete a live interview assessing critical thinking and professional presence. The final stage is Marco's two-week intensive onboarding program, which includes an AI bootcamp covering tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, plus expert-led training tailored to each role. Only about 1% of candidates from a pool of over 50,000 monthly applicants make it through the full process.

Marco sources talent from three primary regions: Latin America, South Africa, and the Philippines. These regions offer deep pools of highly educated, English-fluent professionals across disciplines like marketing, sales, finance, operations, technology, and administration. By recruiting from these markets, Marco delivers fully vetted remote employees at 70–80% less than equivalent US-based hires while maintaining the same quality standards and working within US time zones.

Companies hiring through Marco typically save 70–80% compared to domestic hiring costs. Full-time remote employees start at around $14,000 per year, depending on the role and experience level. There are no upfront fees or long-term contracts required to get started. All placements include Marco's two-week training program and a 180-day free replacement guarantee, so you only pay for talent that performs.

Every Marco placement includes a 180-day free replacement policy. If a hire doesn't meet your expectations within the first six months, Marco will replace them at no additional cost. This policy covers all roles and departments. Combined with Marco's five-stage vetting process and two-week training program, the replacement rate is extremely low — most clients report that Marco hires outperform typical domestic hires by two to three times.

Traditional staffing agencies send resumes and hope for a fit. Freelancer marketplaces leave vetting entirely to you. Most offshore recruiting firms focus on virtual assistants and entry-level admin support. Marco is built differently. We specialize in senior, experienced professionals — proven talent who step into strategic roles like growth marketing, finance leadership, software development, and sales management. Every candidate passes a five-stage vetting process with less than a 1% acceptance rate, then completes a two-week AI-first onboarding program that ensures every hire knows how to leverage tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini in their specific role. Marco hires are full-time, dedicated team members embedded in your workflow — not freelancers juggling multiple clients. The result is remote talent that performs at two to three times the level of a typical hire, at up to 80% less than domestic costs.
