About Local Digital Experts

Local Digital Experts (LDE) is a Marketing agency offering comprehensive services tailored to the needs of SMEs. Their world-class tools and expert guidance enable clients to enhance their digital presence and compete effectively in their industries.

Why did they reach out to Uplers?

LDE struggled to find the right talents to meet their
growing client needs and expand their service offerings.

  • Local Digital Experts required skilled professionals with digital marketing expertise to elevate their SEO and web
    development services.
  • Recruiting talent with the necessary skills in the Australian market is challenging due to a significant skills gap and rising salary expectations.
  • Economic factors, including inflation and uncertainty, have put additional pressure on budget management and hiring decisions.
  • The urgency to hire quickly to meet the demands of a fast-scaling marketing agency adds complexity, as delays can impact business growth and client satisfaction.
  • The shift to remote work has expanded the talent pool but also increased competition for skilled professionals, offering candidates more opportunities.
  • Navigating the regulatory environment for hiring, including compliance with labor laws and employment standards, further complicates the recruitment process.

Hence, hiring locally proved to be a challenge for them as their local hiring efforts yielded limited results, forcing them to compromise on either skillset, experience, or cost-effectiveness.
