We built an 80+ person distributed team while running SellerPlex. Then other founders started asking us how.
That is why Adaptive Teams exists. Nate Ginsburg and Menno Gottmer have hired remote talent across Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa since 2018 to run SellerPlex. Now that system builds teams for US companies.

Our Story
From operators to your hiring partner.
Adaptive Teams did not start with a business plan. It started inside a real company. SellerPlex is an Amazon agency that runs PPC and account management for 6 to 8 figure sellers. Nate founded it in 2018 and Menno joined in 2019 to build and scale operations. From the start they hired remote talent across continents to run the business day to day.
That internal hiring grew into a system: how to source, vet, onboard and manage remote people. It came from hundreds of real hiring decisions and the lessons that come with them. A remote hire succeeds with structured onboarding, clear performance goals, the right tools and real care for the person on the other side of the time zone.
Along the way they kept meeting founders with the same problem. They knew remote talent would help them grow, but they had no process to hire abroad with confidence. Recruiting was slow, compliance was confusing and managing people remotely was guesswork.
So we took the system we built for ourselves and opened it to other companies. We are not a recruiter that sends resumes and disappears. We have managed remote teams ourselves, and we bring that to every placement.
We don’t just find you people. We build the systems around them so they actually succeed. That’s exactly what we had to do for our own company.

What We Stand For
These principles come from years of running real remote operations. They shape how we hire, manage and talk to every client and team member.
People first
Remote team members are people, not line items. We invest in their wellbeing and careers, because when your team does well, your business does well.
Operational excellence
Every process, from sourcing to payroll, is built to run the same way every time. Systems drive results, not luck.
Radical transparency
No hidden fees, no surprise clauses. Pricing is a clear percentage, contracts are month to month and we tell you the truth, even when it is not what you hoped to hear.
Global perspective
We have hired across Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa. We know the cultural differences, the time zone tricks and what holds a spread-out team together.
