Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Parker Cox (https://x.com/carkerpox). Parker is a successful entrepreneur who has bootstrapped multiple businesses, including a property management company that scaled to over a thousand doors.

Today, we're diving deep into his latest venture, Avago, which focuses on overseas talent. I ask Parker the burning question: why is everyone suddenly getting into overseas talent right now? We unpack how this is a nascent industry, experiencing a sort of gold rush driven by a brief market disconnect and facilitated by technology like Zoom. We discuss how these companies help small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) recruit global talent for a wide array of positions, from executive assistants and bookkeepers to salespeople (BDR/SDR) and even CFO roles.

Parker shares insights into the ideal client profile (ICP) for Avago and who is best suited to leverage offshore talent. We break down the different business models in this space, including headhunter services (like Somewhere from Nick Huber), staffing models (like Growth Assistant by Jesse Pui or Near from Glee), and the unique hybrid model Avago is pioneering.

Enjoy the conversation!
