The Challenge

  • Trapped in a constant hiring cycle.
    Local hires for assistant and support positions typically want to advance quickly, viewing these roles 
as stepping stones. Staff would stay for about two years, then move up or leave, resulting in the need to recruit and train replacements constantly.

  • Rising local wages made support roles expensive.
    Domestic hiring costs were increasing, making it difficult to afford reliable support staff for non-client-
facing roles without straining the budget.

  • Leadership needed sustainable support without constant turnover.
    The team needed dedicated assistance for marketing, estimating, and project management—roles 
that required consistency and didn't need to be in-person but were hard to fill locally with committed 
talent.

The Solution

  • Built a stable overseas support team.
    Paired sourced three professionals for construction estimating, assistant project manager, and marketing roles. These positions could be filled long-term by overseas talent without viewing them as temporary stepping stones.

  • Provided an organized hiring process.
    Paired handled contracts, pre-screening, and coordinator, making the hiring process 
straightforward. The team asked what was important, searched for those qualities, and delivered 
qualified candidates.

  • Focused on communication and technical skills.
    Each candidate was evaluated for English proficiency, communication ability, and technical reliability 
to ensure smooth integration with the U.S. team.

The Results

Dramatically improved delegation and productivity
The marketing manager got support with overnight tasks, while the assistant project manager handled admin work so senior staff could focus on key priorities.
Broke the turnover cycle
Overseas hires filled support roles with a commitment to stay long-term, eliminating the constant recruiting loop.
60% cost savings
R. Yoder Construction saved at least 60% compared to local U.S. wages for similar roles, freeing up budget for other business needs.
Streamlined operations
Senior staff could assign tasks from out of the office and have them completed by the time they returned, making operations more efficient
Seamless remote collaboration
After minor adjustments to communication habits (using Teams instead of walking to someone's office), the overseas team integrated smoothly into daily operations.
