Snapshot:

Business: B2C Vitamins & Minerals Brand (Passion4Health)

Role Hired: TikTok Ad Manager & Content Creator (Argentina)

Objective: Build an in-house creative and paid media system to scale TikTok acquisition, while maintaining brand storytelling and reducing dependency on agencies.

Outcome: Direct-hire TikTok Manager & Creator onboarded in under five weeks; a consistent creative testing pipeline was established, and CPA was reduced from the first month.

The Problem:

The company was handling creative direction and ad approvals while outsourcing media buying to agencies. Results were inconsistent, and costs were rising.

Passion4Health needed an in-house specialist who understood both sides: the creative pulse of TikTok and the analytical side of ad performance. Local talent options were expensive, and freelancers lacked long-term commitment.


The Strategy:

We ran our Direct-Hire Sprint to help the founder attract senior TikTok talent at mid-market rates.

We first clarified the outcomes: own ad testing, trend scouting, and performance reporting: all tied to revenue targets.

Then we sourced across Argentina’s fast-growing paid social market, targeting candidates with strong English, eCom experience, and a portfolio of winning TikTok ads.

Each applicant went through structured vetting to evaluate creative judgment, communication clarity, and analytical thinking.

Finally, we presented a curated shortlist of candidates, each pre-vetted and reference-checked. The founder interviewed directly and extended an offer within 5 weeks.

The Hire:

Country: Argentina
Title: TikTok Ad Manager & Content Creator
Time-to-Hire: < 5 weeks end-to-end

Results:

Payroll Efficiency: $37,000 saved annually compared to US-based specialists, while maintaining creative and communication standards.

Founder Leverage: Management of the company fully stepped out of daily ad & creative direction cycles, focusing instead on partnerships and new product development.

Creative Output: The new hire produced TikTok ad variations weekly, with structured testing loops that improved CPA and ad performance consistency.

System Installed: A repeatable direct-hire system for creative and paid roles: global sourcing, structured vetting, creative task review, shortlist delivery, founder interview, and a 90-day guarantee.

Why It Works:

With Zabota’s direct-hire system, Passion4Health tapped into Argentina’s creative talent market, strong English, cultural alignment, and high creative literacy, all at mid-market rates.

Every candidate was screened for storytelling ability, performance mindset, and reliability.

The result was a long-term creative talent who could execute fast and think like a strategist, without agency markups or freelancer churn.
