How Darling Ridge Reduced Administrative Overheads with Dijital Team.


The Challenge

As Darling Ridge began to scale, the business faced increasing administrative and operational strain. Founder Joshua Bauer was spending too much time on routine admin, bookkeeping, and coordination tasks, leaving limited bandwidth for strategic consulting and client delivery.

While the work was essential, it was not revenue-generating, and finding local talent capable of adapting to a dynamic small-business environment proved difficult.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How Dijital Team Assisted

Dijital Team partnered with Darling Ridge to provide a skilled offshore resource who began as an Executive Assistant and quickly evolved into a dual Junior Business Analyst and Service Desk Analyst role. By managing recruitment, onboarding, and integration, Dijital Team enabled Darling Ridge to offload administrative overhead, improve process efficiency, and free up leadership time to focus on strategic and billable work.

5 Stars

“Dijital Team just gets it. They found exactly the right person for a role that wasn’t even clearly defined, and Jen is now a critical part of my business. She’s gone from EA to Junior BA and Service Desk Analyst in under a year.

Dijital Team genuinely invests in their people. They provide training, mentoring, and listen to feedback to keep improving their process. It’s one less big thing for me to worry about.”
