How did we help their hiring challenges?

Our initial audit

During the introductory meeting, we convinced Ngo Wei Kang Gladwin, Director and Performance Marketer with our quality services. We provided pre-vetted talent with Account Manager support. Through our vetting process, we shared pre-vetted profiles that matched their needs. Uplers always ensure that priority is given to the client’s working methods and processes. We shared top profiles according to their requirements— all profiles were pre-vetted and designed to help them retain top talent.

Results

In 2023, they hired their first talent from Uplers, and in 2024, they hired 1 more talents just in 30 days.

We have difficulty finding and keeping top digital marketing talent within our budget. This affects our ability to effectively execute our marketing strategies.
