Ryo Agency Scaled Fast with 4 Key Hires in 30 Days

Business: Ecommerce Email Marketing Agency

Roles Hired:

2 Account Managers, 2 Email Designers

Result:

Team bandwidth expanded, founder removed from hiring bottleneck, agency positioned to scale

The Problem:

‍Ryo Agency was growing fast but hitting a wall — it was nearly impossible to find skilled, timezone-aligned A-players.
Their previous hiring partner added heavy markups (+40%), slow delivery (2+ rounds to place 1 person), and long-term contract lockups.
The founder needed reliable talent — fast — without bloated middleman costs.

The Strategy:

Zabota placed four hires in under 30 days:

• Two Account Managers to lead client comms and strategy
  

Two Designers to increase email output and execution speed All timezone-aligned, vetted for ecommerce and Klaviyo fluency, and hired direct with no markup or buyout clauses.

Team capacity expanded. The founder got back time and control. Campaigns now run smoother, client load is increasing, and the agency is scaling with confidence — without being handcuffed to platform fees or mediocre hires.
