About SupportNinja
The company was founded by Cody McLain in early 2014 and was originally called SupportMonk.
The business was based in India at the time, however, when they grew to more than 50 employees Cody found offices in the Philippines and continued to grow the business there.
Fellow entrepreneur Connor Tomkies came onboard as CEO, and today the business has more than 250 people working in their offices in the Philippines.
Support Ninja specializes in finding you a “Ninja”, as they call their staff members, to fit a role you need filling in your business. (Or multiple ninjas, should you need them.)
They do all the searching, vetting, training, and manage them in-house. That saves you a lot of legwork, so you can spend your time focusing on other areas in your business.
They support a range of businesses all over the world, from Fortune 500 companies in Silicon Valley to small startups looking for help to grow their team and scale up their operations.
How SupportNinja Works
Support Ninja has a fairly rigorous vetting process that includes several rounds of testing, in-person interviews, group interviews, and finally a vote to narrow down the candidates to the best-suited person for the role you’re looking to fill.
Their process looks like this:
- Support Ninja post the position you are looking to fill on job boards and look at their own database of pre-vetted candidates.
- They put candidates that have applied for the position through a series of tests to evaluate how suitable they are for the position.
- They then interview candidates in person that pass the first round of tests to further evaluate them for suitability.
- You receive the resumes of candidates that have passed the vetting process so you can narrow down the applicants.
- The applicants you have approved for final selection are invited for a group interview setting.
- When the final round of background checks is complete, the recruitment team at Support Ninja hold a vote to determine the best-suited candidate, they then send out a formal job proposal offer.
