The Restricted-Vertical Hiring Problem

PLATFORM RESTRICTIONS
The normal growth playbook doesn’t work for your industry and ad platforms restrict your accounts. Specialized experience matters because someone can be great at media buying, but have zero experience operating in your industry, so they can’t get results.

What Changes When You Have The Right People In Restricted Verticals

Before-and-after comparison for hiring in restricted verticals: what breaks without specialized operators, and what becomes possible with the right team.

WITHOUT ZABOTA

MEDIA BUYING
Candidates say they've managed millions in spend. You find out later they were a junior on the team that managed it.
CREATIVE STRATEGY
Candidates aren't specialized in your niche and need training to become competent.
ACCOUNT MANGEMENT
Account managers struggle to explain performance, manage expectations, or lead client calls causing senior management to get involved.
STATIC AD DESIGN
Designers who don't have experience in your niche and need to be trained.
VIDEO EDITING
Generic video editors don't understand the type of edits that drive conversion for your niche and require lots of QA.
Growth
You hesitate to sell harder because every new growth level requires finding and training more people.

WITH ZABOTA

MEDIA BUYING
Media buyers with verified niche-experience personally managing the channels, spend levels and managing platform restrictions.
CREATIVE STRATEGY
Strategists who understand direct response and can turn performance data into concepts your creative team can actually produce.
ACCOUNT MANGEMENT
Client-facing operators your clients actually trust to make the call, so hard conversations stop escalating to you.
STATIC AD DESIGN
Designers who already know your niche and its rules, producing ads that are usable from week one.
VIDEO EDITING
Editors who've already cut converting ads in your category. They know the hooks that work and the shots that get rejected, so edits ship with minimal QA.
Growth
You can keep selling because you have a repeatable way to add proven experienced talent as the business grows. Better people → better performance → happier clients/customers → stronger retention → more room to grow.

We Screen For
What Breaks

Account bans. Rejected creative. Claims that don't survive review. Media Buyer (Meta & Google).
We test for compliance and account survival before a candidate reaches you—not after they've cost you an ad account.
