Need feedback on my homepage: HelpfulHires.com. (alien.top)

Hey everyone,

I recently created a website for my overseas recruiting agency: www.helpfulhires.com

I'm great at recruiting, but not so much web design.

One thing about my service is that it requires a lot of education upfront. A lot of small business owners don't realize this is a solution for their business, compared to something like SEO or marketing, which is more straight forward.

Could you review the homepage and give me your first impressions on the overall copy? What questions do you have about the process, or what questions do you have as a business owner, who is viewing this for the first time. My goal is to create new FAQs addressing these questions or revamping my copy with this feedback in mind.

Thank you!

Nick

Great site considering you aren't a self proclaimed web dev. Not really a critique but think you'd get a bit of value from a chat/help integration. Something like intercom for example.

Site looks nice!

One thing wasn’t clear was how to employ someone overseas, just states to pay via PayPal / Wise. Is that acceptable in the Philippines? And how do you ensure talent doesn’t leave after short period of time? If they do, so do you help replace at lower cost?

I think it looks great! Only one thing - the success stories section loaded really slowly for me.

One button for employers and one button for employees

Hi Nick, I personally like this: "We find you great employees outside the US who cost 70% less" — it says pretty clearly what you do.

What I think then, is: How do you verify that the people you find are any good?

And I also think: Why wouldn't I post a job on Upwork or elsewhere instead?

A bit further down in the FAQ I see that you (partly) answer this. To me, it'd been nice if this somehow was more prominent. I might not have scrolled down and scanned the FAQ, were it not for you asking for feedback. (But maybe that's just me.)

"How do you assess the candidates you represent?
We vet and screen all our candidates for English fluency, skills and professional work experience. [...] video interviews, paid assessment tools and our own in-house tests"

That's interesting. I would want to have a look at your in-house tests, maybe do one or a few of them myself, and get to know what paid assessment tools you use.

The 3 topmost images (white people in suites) look off-topic if you're recruiting in the Philippines and Latin America? (The website says: "Culture fit: The Philippines and Latin America are [...]") The people look a bit, hmm, maybe arrogant? The last one seems to fake-smile just for the photo (or maybe all three of them).

But the "Featured talent" images look more real & friendly & on-topic (to me).

Overall, I think it looks promising!

> My goal is to create new FAQs

Do you mean making the current FAQ longer? It's almost a bit long already, maybe sub titles inside the FAQ could be helpful. E.g. "Payments & Legal", and "How we recruit & assess".

If you have time, do you have any thoughts about the price plans for my project? I asked about feedback here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/comments/1813x20/secret_website_feedback_pricing_feedback/

Change subheading of second section from "You can hire amazing employees outside of the US for $10,000 per year ($800/month)." to "You can hire amazing employees outside of the US from just $26.67 a day."
