The third thing is I wasn't the only one to think international hiring was a beautiful business.

And many, many competitors started over the next six months to a year.

You tried telling me over the years, by the way.

And then the economy started to shift.

Interest rates went up.

A general silent recession happened in a lot of different industries.

Yeah, e-comm headwinds, home service headwinds, construction headwinds, real estate headwinds means lots of people are hiring, lots of people are growing their teams.

Right.

And I made a lot of bold, quick executive changes inside of Somewhere when I acquired it.

The company had grown very quickly.

It was doing 95% of its hiring in the Philippines, executive assistants.

We started to invest in Latin America.

We started to invest in South Africa, finance talent in Egypt, building executive teams in South Africa, performance marketers, high-skilled, actually how to structure and build a company from the ground up internationally.

Yeah, we're making it sound like we're going to end this in bankrupt, but... No, no.

You know, over the last four months, if you compare it to before acquisition, those four months I was negotiating the deal, we're up about 60% from a revenue perspective.

And over last year, it's 28%.

So...

I'm still behind my like pro forma of what I hope to do with the company when I bought it, but revenue is growing very healthily and our team is awesome.

So I think we're doing a phenomenal job of finding people all over the world.

I've learned a ton about worldwide recruiting.
