Build Your Dream Team
An organization is only as strong as its weakest unit.
Hiring A-players is the most effective way to delegate responsibility, reveal new business opportunities, and work “on” the business, not “in” the business.
Growth Shuttle has assisted dozens of SMEs in recruiting top talent, developing custom roles for success, motivating staff, increasing retention rates, and building powerful brands that scale.
Recruiting The Right People
Hiring A-Star Employees
Assembling a High-Performing Team
Keeping Top Talent Around
Building a Long-Lasting Culture
Recruitment Challenges We Tackle:
1. Defining the Culture
Hiring top talent is contingent on identifying what your culture represents.
We will help you in establishing the core pillars of your company, along with the traits every single employee has to possess in order to fit in. Stop hiring randomly and employ behavioral questions in the process.
2. Mission & Vision Statements
What makes the company worthwhile?
Top talent has to be persuaded. Great hires don’t actively look for work which is why you need to sell the company first.
Define your mission and vision statements. What makes you unique? What does the future hold for the brand? Millennials and Gen Z are far more concerned about their personal impact than mere compensation.
Developing the right story is the key to attracting great talent and building sustainable processes that keep your team around.
3. Employer Branding
Develop the online and offline persona that represents the company.
Your best hires want to wear the company’s name like a badge of honor. Develop the right employer branding strategy that showcases success stories, personalized interviews with team members, and accomplishments that everyone is eager to tackle.
Build a public profile that represents the traits you want your business to amplify.
4. The Hiring Process
Receiving applications is just the first step of the journey.
How do you sift through the endless ocean of CVs?
Develop an outstanding recruitment process that doesn’t rely on automated applicant tracking and filtering platforms.
Discover the right talent based on their traits, not their former experiences. Some of the best hires shine through their perseverance, commitment, discipline, and motivation.
Build the right behavioral-based questions that identify the skills and characteristics you need to move the business forward.
5. Amplifying Your Efforts
There are so many ways to attract talent out there — divide and conquer.
Don’t expect to reach top talent by merely posting a job offer out there.
You can work with recruitment firms, PPC agencies, branding companies, and PRs to develop a multichannel solution that skyrockets your hiring efforts.
Creatively utilize employment fairs, networking meetings, strategic partnerships, and in-house referral programs to discover the best troops out there.

Quite a good call.
Mario bracketed the issues really quickly and then gave me project suggestions that I could understand. I’m not saying I’m slow, but Mario just has a clear way of expressing things, to the point where I’m going to be able to plug things right into my project. I’m finding that Clarity is becoming a kind of board of directors that helps me make smarter decisions *before* I spend money, instead of after.

Highly helpful!
Mario is a professional that wears several hats on any given occasion. WordPress developer, business advisor, business growth strategist, educator, and content marketing strategist are just some of the areas he has expertise in. He has been highly helpful in helping us better understand our business processes and consequently, improve as a company. Look forward to working with Mario well into the future.

Professional and fast!
Mario is a wordpress magician. From day one his impact on our business was immediate. We run a media platform with intense daily deadlines and 80+ clients to service, and we desperately needed his skill and service to continue to grow. I love Mario–because he has saved and made our company money. He’s professional, fast and I sleep well at night knowing he (via DevriX) is at the controls.

Experienced in many fields!
I worked with Mario for 18 months. He’s experienced in many fields, including SEO and Link Building. This made our working relationship easier. He had realistic expectations and good attitude. I had really good experience working with him and his team at DevriX. I’ve never stepped into their office but just by communicating with the DevriX team members it looks like they have a nice work environment. I can recommend Mario – he’s a very nice client and an employer. Also, if you’re young and ambitious and looking for a mentor I guess that Mario can give you some pretty good tips if you’re around him.

Skillful and innovative.
During my career as a Marketing Manager, I have been in touch with many web design companies and SEO experts from Europe. Noone managed to make a better impression on me than Mario. He is a skillful, innovative, and knowledgeable CEO. His pieces of advice are very professional and show he knows pretty well what he is doing. I recommend him and his agency as a reliable and trustworthy partner.

You won't be disappointed.
I can’t say enough positive things about Mario and the teams he has built over the years. He’s attentive to detail, but also cares about/understands the big picture. He pushes hard to hit deadlines, but is also comfortable pushing back when requirements aren’t clear or user stories need further refinement. And, most important, he genuinely cares about the quality of the end software product – both in terms of its performance (speed, UX, overall design) and its impact to your business. Hire Mario, talk with Mario, get coffee with Mario, read Mario’s books – you won’t be disappointed, in any case.

Invaluable!
I’ve been working with web design firms since the mid-90s. Mario’s firm DevriX is the best I have worked with by a wide margin. Their ability to customize high-performance WordPress sites is exceptional. They bring a spirit of collaboration to their work, as well as taking initiative on the virtual project management. Mario has been responsive and has really taken the time to understand out business model. Some of my best interactions with Mario have nothing to do with pending projects but with big picture issues and strategies we need to be thinking about. He’s offered us candid feedback which I find invaluable. A real pro to work with

Instrumental connection!
Connecting with Mario was instrumental to resolving some pain points with one of my businesses. Having spent a decade as a business executive and a serial entrepreneur, I’m quite confident in the best practices of launching and growing a company. That said, niche expertise across different verticals and segments of operations, management consulting, and delegation that Mario assisted with made a notable difference for our roadmap in 2021. I definitely recommend Mario as a business advisor for service B2B organizations looking for growth or support with business process management. His insights were worth 320x his fees!

Mario was perfect for me because he experienced exactly the same issues I’m facing right now and I look forward to speak with him again as I implement his advice!
Mario went above and beyond our expectations in answering our questions on the call and even answering a few short followup questions via private message.
