How Mappa helped Bags double headcount in a quarter without doubling costs

As a fast-growing startup serving high-demand clients, Bags needed to scale quickly without sacrificing quality, culture, or cost. Using behavioral voice analysis and rapid sourcing, we helped them build a finance team of certified accountants ready to hit the ground running. In under a quarter, they added 20+ top-tier hires who matched their pace and values, at a fraction of the typical U.S. cost.

About Bags

Bags is a startup that’s reimagining back-office operations for high-growth companies, blending human expertise with smart automation to deliver better finance and accounting outcomes.

The challenge

As Bags began scaling operations, they found that traditional hiring couldn’t keep up. Finding certified U.S. accountants who could start immediately was slow, expensive, and unpredictable, with each week spent hiring leading to lost revenue.

Our solution

Thanks to Mappa’s proprietary voice-based behavioral analysis and deep LatAm talent network, the entire hiring process, from sourcing and vetting to interviewing, began moving at the speed that Bags needed to succeed.
