After trying BPOs, freelancers and referrals to staff his companies, Matt Martin realized the issue with finding the right hire wasn’t a lack of talent. It was infrastructure. He didn’t need more resumes. He needed a way to hire full-time global employees who were accountable and built for continuity.
That’s why Martin, a serial entrepreneur who has spent two decades buying and selling 20 different companies, built Satellite Teams, a global operating platform that allows companies to hire internationally as if those team members were sitting beside them.
“We’ve perfected the process of finding, hiring and retaining global talent so that business owners don’t have to, and we had no idea how much demand there was going to be for this,” Martin noted. “In our first 12 months, we scaled to $4 million in revenue without any advertising, any marketing, or sales people, all just with the power of our network.”
Today, Satellite Teams is expanding this enterprise model through franchise ownership.
“We’re sharing the strategies and systems we’ve used to build the business – from positioning the model and winning large, long-term accounts to creating recurring revenue and sustainable growth,” Martin said.
Martin stressed that this is not a recruiting business. Instead, it’s a relationship-driven enterprise “that combines a proven global operating platform with a disciplined owner revenue engine,” allowing franchise owners to build scalable, recurring businesses with real value.
“The infrastructure is in place. The systems are proven. The owner builds the enterprise in the middle,” Martin said.
Satellite Teams prides itself on removing the operational burden of global hiring and giving companies access to top-tier international talent at a fraction of traditional hiring costs. The company handles everything behind the scenes: recruiting, vetting, HR, payroll, compliance, country-specific labor laws and government-mandated benefits. The result is long-term client partnerships, multi-role teams, predictable recurring revenue and true enterprise value.
Satellite Teams is more than just a concept. There are already 36 active client companies operating across more than 16 industries with 98% year-over-year revenue retention.
The brand also supports clients across a wide range of industries such as analytics, cosmetics and beauty, food and beverage, health care, hospitality, e-commerce, interior design, home furnishings, financial services (including private equity and investment banking), legal, media, technology and property management.
Countries where the brand has hired teams include the U.S., the Philippines, Mexico, Vietnam, Canada, the U.K., Israel, Poland, Colombia, India and Hong Kong.
“Our infrastructure enables us to support clients in more than 100 countries,” the company noted in a press release. “This means owners are not ‘starting a business.’ They are stepping into an already-built global employment and delivery platform.”
According to Martin, this platform makes global hiring repeatable, scalable and operationally sound. It provides better teams, lower operational drag and a scalable way for companies to grow.
