Cherry Assistant was founded by experienced operators who leveraged offshore talent to successfully build and exit their own businesses. Unlike typical recruiting firms, they designed a hiring system grounded in practical, real-world execution rather than theory. Co-founders DJ Kim and Ben Deckey bring complementary strengths: DJ leads market strategy and operational execution, using AI and offshore teams to optimize staffing, while Ben directs the technical infrastructure and platforms that streamline hiring workflows. Their track record spans software, services, and staffing businesses they've built and scaled. Cherry Assistant offers startups and growing companies a structured, founder-led hiring model focused on quality, speed, and timezone alignment, removing friction and enabling scalable offshore staffing solutions tailored to real business needs.
