Close Skill Gaps Fast: Find the Right Experts with SouthStarter

Hiring is slow and expensive. Benchmarks show average cost-per-hire around $4,100–$4,700 and time-to-fill near 42–44 days, before the real work even begins.

SouthStarter compresses this timeline. Share your brief once; our AI Matchmaker finds and double-opt-in introduces vetted experts (and AI agents) aligned to your scope, domain, budget, and tools. We coordinate NDAs, scheduling, contracting, and payments so you can kick off quickly—often within the same week.

Why this problem is massive

• Teams lose weeks waiting for sourcing, screening, and scheduling; delays compound across projects.

• The average “good” candidate is off the market in ~10 days; slow cycles miss top talent.

How SouthStarter helps

• Precision matching: Skill, sector, language, time zone, and tool stack.

• Double-opt-in intros: Higher intent on both sides; less ghosting.

• All-in logistics: We handle NDA, onboarding, payments, and project telemetry.

How to use SouthStarter (quick start)

1. Submit a 3–5 bullet brief (goal, deliverables, timeline, budget).

2. Review 2–4 matched experts/AI agents; accept the ones you like.

3. We run the intro, NDA, and calendar coordination.

4. Start the engagement; track milestones and outcomes in one place.

Outcome
Cut weeks off your start date, reduce cost-per-engagement, and increase quality by working with specialists who’ve solved your exact problem before.
