A Good Hire Is Worth Their Weight in Gold 💛

Not interested in hearing from Lean Leverage or Go Carpathian?

The Olympics has everyone talking about gold again, and when excellence is in the spotlight, it feels like the right moment to do something a little special.

So if you saw our Valentine’s Day email, you already know we’re doing something we’ve never done before.

We’re giving you gold!

Actual real gold…

… and yes, we may have gotten carried away after seeing all those gold medals, but you need a reminder that when you find the right hire, the value they create compounds for years.

And a great hire is truly worth their weight in gold. 

The Golden Opportunity 

Just this week, Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, AKA “King Klaebo", became the greatest Winter Olympian of all time, taking home his ninth gold medal. 

Now, we can’t promise you any Olympic glory, but we are offering you some gold of your own…

Make your first hire with Go Carpathian and we’ll send you a 10g gold bar.

(Now don’t get too crazy, we buy them at Costco just like everyone else) 

 How it works:
→ Book a call or engage with us by February 28, 2026
→ Complete a qualifying hire
→ Receive a 10g gold bar
(New clients only. T&Cs apply.) Speak with our recruitment specialists to find out more.

Why Go Carpathian talent hits different

Most hiring firms compete on who can send you the most résumés.

We compete on who knows where the world’s best talent actually is. 

After years of placing candidates across four core regions (Latin America, South Africa, Eastern Europe, and the United States), we’ve learned something most recruiters never figure out:

Different cultures produce different kinds of excellence.

And when you match the right culture to the right role, performance skyrockets, often at a fraction of U.S. cost.

I’ll put this into action for you a bit:

🇿🇦 South Africa — Sales pros who close

South Africa produces some of the best English-speaking sales talent in the world.

Why?

• Neutral accents

• Western business culture

• High-pressure, performance-driven sales environments

Many of our SDRs and closers have worked for global brands like Amazon and major SaaS companies, selling into U.S. and European markets every day.

You get confident communicators, CRM-native operators, and people who understand U.S. buyers at 50–70% less than a U.S. sales hire.

🇦🇷 Latin America — EAs & developers who think on their feet

LatAm countries like Argentina have been shaped by decades of economic uncertainty.

That sounds negative, but it creates something incredibly valuable:

Resilient, resourceful problem-solvers.

When you grow up in a country where conditions change constantly, you learn how to:

• Adapt fast

• Work around constraints

• Solve problems without being told

That’s why our Executive Assistants and Developers from LatAm stand out. They don’t freeze when things break. They figure it out, and they do it at ~70% less than comparable U.S. hires.

🇪🇺 Eastern Europe — Ops & technical minds built for systems

Eastern Europe is where we go for:

• Operations managers

• Project managers

• Engineers

• Media buyers

These cultures emphasize logic, structure, precision, and accountability.

The result is people who love SOPs, processes that make sense, analyzing metrics, and prioritizing clean execution. 

And again, you’re typically saving 50–70% versus U.S. salaries.

🇺🇸 United States — When proximity matters

We haven’t forgotten about the amazing talent we have at home, so if you really need a U.S. based hire, we’ve got you covered. U.S. hires can be great for:

• Client-facing positions

• On-site or hybrid roles

• Regulated or compliance-heavy functions

We place U.S. talent, too, because sometimes the right answer is local.
We just don’t pretend everything needs to be.
