During a period of rapid growth, Overdose Digital needed access to people it was struggling to find on its own. The hiring challenge involved both the right skillsets and a fit with the company’s culture.
Group CEO Paul Prichard described how Amped HQ supported the hiring managers through that process. Amped HQ is the team behind Ramp Remote; this story reflects Paul’s testimonial about that experience.
The challenge: hiring through growth
Paul’s account centres on access to talent. Overdose needed the right people while the business was growing, with each hiring manager supported through the selection process.
The approach: support for hiring managers
Paul said Amped guided each hiring manager and helped secure people with the skills and cultural fit the team needed. His testimonial connects that hiring support with a reduction in delivery and back office costs.
What Paul reported
“During a period of rapid growth, Amped HQ gave us access to talent we couldn’t find on our own. They guided each hiring manager through the process, helping us secure the right people with the right skillsets—perfectly matched to our culture. This has significantly reduced the cost of our delivery and back office by upwards of 40%.”

The “upwards of 40%” figure is Paul’s reported result for Overdose’s delivery and back office costs. It is not a forecast or a guaranteed saving for another business. The testimonial does not provide a measurement period, cost breakdown or headcount.
Planning hiring support for your agency
For an agency building its own brief, useful questions include which work needs extra capacity, which skills must be present from day one, and what good collaboration looks like. These are suggestions for your planning, not a claim about Overdose’s internal assessment process.
- Define the work and tools before choosing a job title.
- Give the hiring manager clear evidence to assess, such as relevant work examples and a structured conversation.
- Compare the complete quoted cost and support responsibilities before making a decision.
