The 60-Second Checklist That Screens Out 99% Of Overseas Applicants
Built from the red flags in 28,000+ applications we rejected. Hand it to anyone on your team and you'll never sign another offer letter you regret.
You've been screening wrong.
The resumes you would have said yes to are the ones we cut.
Inside The Checklist
YES! GIVE ME THE CHECKLIST!
My team and I have reviewed more than 28,000 overseas applicants over the last few years. 99% of them never reached a client. After a while, you stop seeing individual candidates and start seeing patterns.
The English that reads fine until you put them on a call. The five years of experience that turns out to be two jobs and three gaps. The answer that sounds right but never actually addresses what you asked. Those patterns are consistent. They show up the same way whether you are hiring a designer or an operations manager.
We built an internal filter to catch them early. This tool is that filter. The AI reads the resume against your job posting. You run through the four-level vetting protocol. A score comes out the other end. Sixty seconds per candidate.
If you are hiring without a dedicated recruiter, this is the screen we run on every applicant before they touch a client. You now have the same thing.
Founders We've Hired For
“Surpassed my expectations, beating out a much larger recruiting agency.”
“He's top tier. I've hired with him twice and it's helped me build tenfold.”
“The king of VA knowledge.”
“I expect to have major pieces of my companies from the people I've hired through him.”
“Working with Zack was a breeze. I would highly recommend it.”
“I will be recommending you in a heartbeat.”
How It Works
Common Questions
“What exactly do I get?”
+30 real overseas candidates we rejected, with the exact note on why we cut each one. Plus the checklist we run every applicant through. Names redacted, everything else raw.
“Will the red flags translate to the role I'm hiring for?”
+Yes. The pile spans Multimedia Designer, Client Services, Executive Assistant, eCom VA, Meta Paid Ads, Amazon PPC, Marketing Ops, SDR, and Amazon Catalog. The patterns we cut on are role-agnostic: English fluency, AI-generated answers, missed deadlines, vague past experience. Every one of those shows up the same way whether you're hiring a designer or an SDR.
“I'm not the one doing the screening. Is this still useful?”
+Hand it to whoever is. Each rejection is written so a hiring manager, ops lead, or assistant can pick it up and apply the same filter without you sitting next to them. If anyone on your team has ever brought you a candidate that 'looked good on paper,' this is the document that ends that loop.
“I already vet candidates. What's actually different here?”
+Most vetting catches the obvious stuff: typos, missing experience, bad grammar. This is the second layer. The things you only see after the third interview, the 24-hour follow-up email, or the scenario test we put every candidate through. Nobody else has run 28,000+ applicants through a single process and written down exactly why each rejection happened.
“How is this different from a hiring guide I could find online?”
+A guide is generic advice. This is raw data: actual resumes, video responses, scenario answers, and screening notes from our own funnel. It is not the theory of vetting, it is the receipts.
“Are these candidates anonymized?”
+Yes. Names, photos, and any directly identifying details are redacted. Everything else, the role they applied for, the country, the resume content, their actual responses, and our exact rejection note, is intact.
“How long does it take to use?”
+Under 60 seconds per candidate once you have the checklist. Read the 30 rejections once, then run any new applicant through the same filter before you spend an hour interviewing.
“What format does it come in?”
+A PDF you can read on any device, plus the checklist as a standalone printable. Delivered to your inbox the moment you check out.
“Do I need to be hiring right now to get value?”
+No. Most buyers read it before they post a role so they know what to filter for from day one. If you are hiring this quarter or next, it pays for itself the first time it saves you an interview.
“What happens after I buy it?”
+Instant access the moment you buy. No call, no intake, no waiting. Use it on your next hire.
“Is there a refund policy?”
+Yes. 30 days. If it doesn't change how you screen, email us and we refund you.
