You guys hired my Executive Assistant (EA) and that was the best EA I’ve ever had. It’s hard to find a great recruiter because a lot of times they’re in massive companies and doing great jobs there. But if people find one that has the experience that [M-Ocean] has, then it is a really big game changer for hiring remote teams.

I worked with M-Ocean to place an Operations Director within my business, and she is one of the best things to happen to my company! M-Ocean saved us a ton of time in the hiring process. We tried posting online but it wasn’t a great experience for us – it was time consuming and the applicant didn’t have relevant experience. I don’t have the network overseas to source for this type of talent myself. And honestly, I wouldn’t want to. Our time is really important, we have a ton going on within our organization, and we don’t have the time to stop all of our projects to source top level talent. It isn’t our area of expertise so we leave it to the experts! Whenever I need a new employee, I reach out to M-ocean and quickly have a short list of top candidates. The time savings is totally worth it to us.

Working with M-Ocean has been great. They’ve been keen to listen to all my specific requirements for the person I was looking for to be my Executive Assistant; taking them into account and scrutinizing his pool of candidates; shortlisting who could be best fitted for me. They saved me a lot of time and hassle by making sure they took time to pick the two best candidates for me.

I really appreciate all the work your team put into this. Your professionalism was top-notch, and I have already passed your contact info along to two other attorneys.

I thought that there was great talent out there remotely whether it be in the Philippines or Poland, but I have been shocked on how great the talent is [at M-Ocean]. And so one of the things that I tell my friend is that the days of the $2/hr Virtual Assistant in the Philippines is over. The days of a highly educated, highly motivated, highly impactful, whatever job title of many levels is here.
Peter K.
CEO, Fringe Sport
Your hires are absolutely crushing it! We're off to a great start. I am very optimistic that they will work great for us based on their current performance.
