Digital product in the high-risk segment

Challenge

A fast-growing digital product company in the high-risk segment had been looking for an Affiliate Marketing Lead for two months without success. They used in-house resources, cold channels, and tested different approaches — but none delivered results.

The request was highly specific: — Deep expertise in traffic arbitrage — Understanding of high-risk products — Experience within a particular GEO

What we did

Didn’t wait for inbound responses — immediately reached out to our own candidate database

Used non-standard sources: private chats, referral networks, and personal recommendations

Found specialists in the target GEOs within 5 days

Conducted a series of interviews and presented finalists by week 2

Result

We reached a relevant candidate who wasn’t visible in open funnels and was unavailable through standard channels.

Time-to-offer: 3 weeks

Thanks to fast adaptation, our own database, and a sharp focus on the task, we closed the vacancy 3× faster than average.

Within two months, the candidate achieved a key quarterly KPI.
