Snapshot:‍

Business: An Inc. 5000 Tech Company
Roles Hired: 5x Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) — sourced from Argentina & Venezuela
Objective: Build cost-effective outbound sales capacity to support rapid growth without local hiring premiums
Outcome: Direct hires placed in under 2 weeks; $300K saved annually while scaling pipeline generation

‍

‍

The Problem:

Based in Indianapolis, our client has built proprietary technology for lead generation and networking. Growth was accelerating. But local SDR hiring in Indianapolis was killing margins. Freelancers couldn't deliver the consistency needed for B2B outbound.

The goal: build a permanent, high-performing SDR team that could own outbound prospecting and pipeline generation, without burning through capital on inflated U.S. payroll.

‍

The Strategy:

Zabota ran the Direct-Hire Sprint:

Role & Team Structure Definition – We mapped the SDR pod: 5x full-time SDRs to handle cold outreach, lead qualification, meeting booking, and CRM management for B2B tech sales motion.
Geo Targeting (LATAM – Argentina & Venezuela) – We sourced for strong English fluency, proven B2B sales experience, tech-savvy communication skills, and U.S. time-zone overlap for real-time collaboration.
Signal-Based Vetting – Beyond resumes: async clarity tests, cold outreach scenario responses, CRM proficiency checks, ownership markers, and sales aptitude assessments.
Direct Hire, Zero Markup – The tech company hired five SDRs directly onto their payroll (no recurring agency fees or percentage of wages), backed by our 90-day free replacement guarantee.

‍

The Hires:

Region: Argentina & Venezuela
Roles: 5x Sales Development Representatives
Time-to-Hire: Less than 2 weeks
Model: Full-time, direct hires; no ongoing percentage of wages

‍

Results:

Payroll Efficiency: $300,000/year saved vs. equivalent U.S. SDR hires, while maintaining professional-grade communication and B2B sales execution standards.

Pipeline Generation: Consistent daily outbound activity. Qualified leads flowing to closers. Meeting booking rates improved through dedicated SDR ownership.

Founder Leverage: Leadership team stepped out of cold outreach and lead qualification workflows. Time reinvested into closing deals, product development, and strategic growth initiatives.

Scalable System: A repeatable direct-hire process (targeted sourcing → structured vetting → shortlist → plug-in onboarding) now ready to scale additional SDR pods and sales support roles as the company continues its growth trajectory.

‍

Why It Works:

At Zabota, we place mid-market operators, not overpriced local hires.

By sourcing in Argentina and Venezuela and hiring direct, fast-growing tech companies get senior, sales-ready SDRs at sustainable compensation, without sacrificing quality or speed.
