*assuming you've landed here after a conversation with Josh or Philip. If you got here some other way, scram!

Howdy 🀠

We're no good at flirting, so let's cut to the chase - we like you a lot. We like you like Elon likes having babies, like America likes foreign oil, like Bill Clinton likes his internal staff, like Epstein likes...you get the picture.

Many of you have been kind enough to refer business to us without any sort of reward. That's awesome, but we're principled fellas that want to show our appreciation for your trust. And so, we're launching Deputy's first referral programme!

Before we get into the programme itself, and in case you've completely forgotten who we are and what we do (ouch), we'll start off with a quick primer.

We're addressing 3 key problems:

πŸ” Great businesses need great people, but finding them f**cking sucks

Assembling a team which consistently delivers high-quality output is the #1 driver of success for a business, but hiring is a massive time-suck that only gets bigger as you grow.

🀯 Employees may come and go, but the workload ain't going nowhere

Most all of the people you ever hire will quit or get fired. It isn't fun, but it's a fact of running a company. Problem is, all the work you hoped they'd do suddenly isn't being done.

🌍 Western hiring often isn't worth the premium for non-management roles

Hiring locally is expensive and many Western employees are entitled and lazy. Hiring internationally avoids those problems, but it's daunting if you're unfamiliar with those markets and their nuances.

What Deputy does

We embed full-time equivalent staff into our customer's teams. We focus on filling Individual Contributor job roles (the folks that actually do stuff, not management). Inputs aside:

We exist to help businesses get shit done; better, faster, and cheaper than anyone else.

Where deputies come from

Both host an astonishing density of skilled, hard-working, good-natured people. They're fluent in English, and are comfortable working alternative hours to suit our customer's needs.

Pricing & Terms

Deputies start at $2,500/m and vary based on required seniority and skill set. We require a minimum 3-month commitment, after which, our agreement renews month-to-month.

Here's where you come in

We're looking to place Β±20 deputies by the end of this year, and we're certain that you can help.

What you get

We'll pay you a referral fee for each intro that leads to a successfully converted customer. We'll pay you $1,000 for every deputy that we place with that customer within the first 3 months. For example, if your referral results in 5 deputies being hired in 3 months, you get $5,000.

What deputy customers look like

  • βœ… Ready to hire now.
  • βœ… Looking to hire someone full-time. We do not do temp placements.
  • βœ… Has a clear idea of the output they're expecting from the new hire

How to refer a prospect

  1. Share a link to the prospect's LinkedIn with Josh or Philip, along with any other context prior to making an intro
  2. Once we've checked it out and verified that we can help, we'll ask you to for an email/Whatsapp intro (josh@donebydeputy.com + philip@donebydeputy.com).
  3. We'll handle everything from there, and will keep you posted on the results.
