Traditional hiring wasn’t built for how fast CPG brands need to move.

Here’s where the usual routes break down, and what changes when Plus Forty runs the search.

Traditional hiring

With Plus Forty

Slow

Most agencies take months to fill a role. Founders burn runway waiting on a process that should take weeks, not months.

Shortlist in 7⁠–⁠10 days

Intro videos from your top candidates arrive within 7⁠–⁠10 days of starting your search.

Risky

Marketplaces hand you a CV and wish you luck. Vetting, onboarding, management, compliance, tax: that’s all on you.

Vetted, managed and guaranteed

We vet and interview every candidate, handle contracts, payroll and compliance, and replace a hire who isn’t the right fit within 30 days at no cost.

Expensive

US salaries + ramp time + a bad hire adds up fast. A single mis-hire can cost six figures in lost time alone.

A fraction of a US salary

One invoice covers payroll and compliance, and the entire sourcing process is free of charge.

Plus Forty’s process for sourcing best‑in‑class talent.

Finding great talent is hard. It’s our job to make it look easy.

The best part? Our entire sourcing process is free of charge and zero commitment.

Talk to us about your role

Most agencies stop at the hire. We don’t.

Your hire doesn’t get placed and forgotten. We run structured 30-60-90 day check-ins, coaching, and career development so they grow alongside your brand.

Compliance and payroll, completely handled

We manage contractor agreements, international payroll, and the red tape that comes with hiring offshore. No FX risk, no manual wires, no HR overhead. One invoice, and your hire gets paid on time, every time.

Freed up so much of my plate

Ashley is amazing. She is better than so many folks we've encountered in the States with far more documented credentials. She is efficient, extremely effective, and has freed up SO much of my plate. She takes feedback so positively, which is a trait not many possess.

You guys have changed the workflow of our business in regards to our social media, and it was one of the best decisions we've made all year.

An impact from day one

We brought Sean on through Plus Forty as a part-time Operations Manager, and found the process was quick and easy. Sean came with all the experience we were looking for and made an impact from day one, saving us thousands of dollars a month compared with hiring onshore. The Plus Forty team was responsive throughout, making the whole process easier than it would be otherwise.

Questions founders ask us

Straight answers on cost, contracts, vetting and working together. Anything else, ask us on a free call.

Book a free strategy call

How much does a Plus Forty hire cost compared to a US hire?

Most clients pay a fraction of a US salary for the same role — think 70% savings once you account for benefits, payroll tax, and overhead. We’ll walk you through exact pricing for your specific role before you commit to anything.

Why shouldn’t I just go with a cheaper staffing agency?

Cheaper agencies take a bigger cut, which means less goes to the talent — and that shows up in who’s willing to work with them. Plus Forty pays above-market wages to the people we place, which is why we get first pick of the strongest CPG-experienced candidates, and why they stay. Our 95% client retention rate reflects that. The cost of a bad hire — restarting the search, re-onboarding, lost productivity — almost always outweighs any upfront savings.

What happens if a hire doesn’t work out?

If a hire doesn’t work out within the first 30 days, we’ll find you a replacement at no additional cost. We stand behind every placement we make.

Will my Plus Forty hire work my hours?

Our talent is based in the Philippines, but every Plus Forty hire works your hours — full-time overlap with EST, CST, MST, or PST, depending on your team. We confirm required overlap during matching and only present candidates who can commit to it.

How fast can someone start?

Most placements happen within 2–3 weeks of your brief, not the months traditional agencies take.

What kind of experience do Plus Forty candidates have?

Every candidate has direct CPG experience — retail operations, e-commerce, Amazon, marketing, or finance — before they ever reach your interview list. We don’t source generalist VAs and hope they figure out your industry.

How do you vet candidates before I ever see them?

Candidates go through a skills assessment, a background check, and multiple interview rounds before we present them. You’re seeing our shortlist, not a raw applicant pool.

Can I interview candidates myself before choosing?

Yes. We present a shortlist and you interview and choose — we don’t place anyone you haven’t personally approved.

What if I want someone with a very specific skill set?

Tell us what you need — Amazon PPC, retail buyer outreach, whatever it is — and we source against that brief specifically. We don’t push you toward whoever’s available.

Is there a minimum contract length?

No. We built Plus Forty around long-term placements, not short-term gigs, so engagements run month-to-month with the flexibility to scale up or down as your needs change.

Do I pay Plus Forty directly, or does the contractor invoice me?

You pay Plus Forty a single invoice. We handle payroll, currency conversion, and compliance on our end — no separate wires to your contractor, no FX headaches.

Who manages my hire day-to-day — me, or Plus Forty?

You do. Your hire works inside your team, on your priorities. We stay involved through onboarding and ongoing support (regular check-ins, performance coaching), but day-to-day direction is yours.

What tools or software will my hire need, and who provides them?

Your hire uses whatever tools your team already runs on — Slack, your CRM, your project management software.

Can my hire work directly inside my Slack, email, and systems?

Yes — your hire integrates into your existing systems and communicates directly with your team, just like an in-house employee.

What happens to IP and confidential info my hire touches?

All work product and IP created by your hire belongs to you. Every contractor agreement includes confidentiality and IP assignment terms before day one.

What if I want to convert a contractor to a full-time hire later?

You can. Our contracts include a conversion path if you want to bring a placement on directly down the line.

Can I hire more than one person through Plus Forty?

Yes — many clients start with one role and scale up as they see the impact. There’s no cap on how many placements you run through us, and once you reach your fourth hire, we have volume-based pricing available.

Do you support multiple roles across different functions?

Yes. We place across marketing, operations, sales, finance, and admin/customer service — the core functions CPG brands actually need help with.
