In Part 2 of our Remotely+ series, Jason Burns and co-founders Steve Schoeffler and Matt Cohen get into the economics, exactly how the savings work and where the up to 70% actually comes from.\nLearn more or find talent: https://www.remotelyplus.com\nThe founders break down the real math. A customer service or dispatch role runs a flat $2,400 to $2,500 a month through Remotely+, roughly $30,000 a year, with nothing on top. The same role hired domestically can cost $60,000 to $65,000 in salary, plus another 15 to 20% in burden for health insurance, workers comp, and tax match, pushing it past $70,000. That's before the cost they say almost nobody calculates: turnover. Rehiring, job postings, interview time, retraining, and fighting unemployment claims all add up, and none of it shows in the sticker price. They also share why retention on remote professionals has run significantly higher.\nThe founders walk through the roles they place, from customer service and dispatch to digital marketing, bookkeeping, and even software and CRM specialists, their multi-level vetting and English proficiency testing, and the fact that there's no upfront fee and no obligation if a client doesn't hire anyone.\nIf back office costs or constant turnover are draining your operation, this episode shows you the alternative and the numbers behind it.\nGuests: Steve Schoeffler and Matt Cohen, co-founders of Remotely+\nListen to more episodes of the Last2First Podcast, and find the full video version on the Last2First YouTube channel.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/GXEfemdOctPhLy5xj00kyNMdJLROCQ3j30AG-ygggg8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hNTQ0/ZDViYTc0MDVkNWM0/NDllMDM4MTE1NDc3/NWJjOC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
