The money
The part everyone wants to see.
Pick a job. See what you keep. Then we talk like adults.

They're on your team. We found them. If it doesn't work in ninety days, we find someone else.
- You employ them

- 701 Desk From $1,890/mo
We handle the boring paperwork. You handle the work. They show up on a Tuesday you can actually circle.

- Mid $2,450
- Senior quoted
- First Light $149/mo

- Optional on Dawn Hire
The smart version One in Manila. One in Mexico.
Someone for the hours you're asleep. Someone for the hours you're not. That's a company that never really closes.

If the work lives on a laptop, hi.
Founders. Agencies. Shops. Firms. Anyone paying San Francisco prices for a job that doesn’t need San Francisco.

You are still in the work. An EA, a VA, a bookkeeper, a setter, the seats that buy back the week.

Media, creators & studiosCountries
Two countries. That's the map.
Not “the world.” Two places we actually know.
Philippines
They start while you're still dreaming.
English you can send to a customer. Inbox, care, books, research. The unglamorous work that keeps a company from quietly falling apart.
- Inbox cleared before U.S. morning
- English you can put in front of a customer
- A deep bench for the jobs nobody wants to post
Mexico
Same afternoon as Dallas. They can be on the call.
Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara. English and Spanish. Sales, accounts, anything that dies if you wait until tomorrow.
- Standups without a 5am alarm
- English and Spanish, both working
- Sales and ops inside your day
How it works
Four steps. Then they start.
We say no a lot
Skills. English. Samples. Background. Most people never reach you. That's the point.
You meet three
Short conversations. You hire one. If the three aren’t good, we don’t shrug and send a fourth.
They start
On your payroll, or on ours. On a Tuesday both of us can actually circle.
The people
These are people.
These portraits are samples. The real ones come with time zones and jobs.

FAQ
Questions you were going to ask.
Why only two countries?
Because two is enough if they're the right two. Language. Clock. People who show up. A globe looks impressive. A hire is better.
What jobs do you fill?
Assistants. Support. Sales. Marketing. Finance. Ops. People. Legal. Creative. Tech. The jobs that keep a company from quietly falling apart.
How much do I save?
Open the calculator. Then call us. We'll tell you if the number is a fantasy.
Will they work my hours?
Mexico lives on your clock. Philippines lives on the other one. We agree on hours before anyone interviews. Like grown-ups.
Who employs them?
Dawn Hire: you do. 701 Desk: we do, you direct the work. Pick how much paperwork you want in your life.
How fast?
A clean job can be shortlisted in two weeks. A weird one takes longer. We say so before you get your hopes up.
What if it's the wrong person?
Ninety days. We search again. No second fee. If we can't restaff it, we unwind the fee. You write dk@701am.com. That's the whole promise.
The blog
Things we noticed.
Hiring, the work, and the little bits that add up. David writes them.
-
They are not a cost reduction strategy
Steve Pastor said it cleanly. The companies that hire well abroad are not shopping for cheaper people. They are shopping for operators.
-
Why the Philippines for the hours you are asleep
English as a working language, a deep bench, and the inbox cleared before 7:01am. That is the Philippines case, not a vibe.
-
Why Mexico for the hours you actually live
Same afternoon as Dallas. Bilingual when it matters. Nearshore is a clock, not a slogan.
