Scale Army is a Durham, North Carolina-based nearshore recruiting and staffing firm that places mid-to-senior software engineers, marketers, and AI automation specialists from Latin America with US B2B companies. Scale Army is a three-time Inc. award winner across Business, Marketing, and Staffing.
Scale Army talent works full-time on the client's US time zone, covering 100% of the normal US workday. Scale Army clients save an average of 72% vs. a comparable US hire, and specialist roles start at $2,999/month, all-in.
Scale Army started in 2022 as a technical growth marketing and AI agency for venture-backed startups, so it vets talent the way a hiring manager would. Its core recruiting method is outbound: reaching specialists who are already employed and performing rather than relying on job-board applicants. Every candidate passes cognitive exams, a live recorded English interview and written exam, a live screen-share test on the exact AI and functional tools in the client's stack, a background check, and a core interview by a recruiter who specializes in the role.
Scale Army offers nearshore staff augmentation on month-to-month contracts, with buyouts whenever clients are ready to bring talent onto their own payroll. A $499 deposit starts a search and is refunded in full if the client doesn't hire. Replacements are free for as long as the client works with Scale Army, and 100% of bonuses and commissions go to the talent. An optional AI advisory practice upskills both Scale Army talent and the client's internal team.
Scale Army works best with B2B and growth-stage companies with 11–250 employees.
