Want to Build Agile, Cost-Efficient Teams That Win Campaigns?

As a marketing staffing agency, we know that ensuring the productivity of remote talent in your digital marketing agency is crucial for your business operations. However, it starts with clear expectations during the hiring and onboarding processes.

Communication is one of the common challenges of managing remote teams, but this is a challenge that's easily solved, so you don't have to worry. We recommend consistent communication via video meetings, chat apps, and project management tools. Establish consistent meeting schedules and encourage open dialogue. Here's an article on facilitating short, productive meetings with your remote teams.

Use structured interviews, skill assessments, and reference checks. Evaluate their past remote work experience and ask for examples of self-motivation and reliability.

To find the right fit for your company’s specific needs, consider partnering with a marketing staffing agency or a specialized partner like MultiplyMii, which focuses on sourcing and placing top-tier remote talent from the Philippines.

At MultiplyMii, we follow the 4Rs structure when sourcing remote professionals. This means creating an attractive, detailed, and industry-approved job description discussing the Role, Responsibilities, Results, and Requirements.

Then, we proceed to vetting valuable candidates. Unlike other recruitment agencies, we implement the value-based hiring approach by sourcing Remote Specialists instead of Virtual Assistants.

Being a marketing staffing agency for years, we've encountered our fair share of challenges. That’s why we recommend using time zone management tools, setting core hours for overlap, and fostering mutual respect for diverse time zones are keys to our success.

You can create a cohesive work environment with video conferencing tools (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet), project management (e.g., ClickUp, Monday.com), communication (e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams), and digital marketing platforms (e.g., HubSpot, Google Analytics). These tools ensure your team stays connected, organized, and productive, no matter where they are.

To seamlessly onboard and train remote employees and successfully integrate them into your existing team, we recommend creating comprehensive onboarding materials, conducting virtual training sessions with established feedback loops, and pairing new hires with experienced team members.

Here are key strategies to consider when scaling your digital marketing agency with a remote team:

•  Maintain a Talent Pipeline: This is essential for any growing agency; it ensures you have the right talent ready as your client base expands and your service offerings grow. Hiring with a marketing staffing agency like MultiplyMii lets you access over 250,000 pre-vetted Filipino talent.

• Leverage Remote Staffing Solutions: A one-time investment fee with MultiplyMii will kickstart a seamless and cost-effective recruitment process, enabling you to find, hire, and onboard specialized talent quickly and flexibly.

• Consider Direct Hiring: Remote staffing allows direct engagement with talent, fostering more robust team integration and company culture than outsourcing companies.

• Hybrid Approach: Consider a blend of in-house and remote team members. This flexible model enables your agency to adapt to changing needs, accessing specific skills or scaling quickly for projects without the overhead of full-time local hires.

Keeping your digital marketing agency's team on the same page, whether they're local or remote, is key to ongoing growth. 

You can achieve this alignment by clearly communicating your agency's objectives. Involve remote staff in setting goals and monitor progress in regular meetings.

At MultiplyMii, we utilize the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and conduct L10 and weekly team meetings to keep everyone informed and focused on our collective goals, facilitating contributions toward these objectives.
