Scaling Smart: How Cal Solar Built a High-Impact Remote Team with Revaya

Revaya helped CalSolar hire six roles, an HR Business Partner plus Payroll, Estimating, and Technical Support—filling a five-month-vacant HR position in under three weeks. The new remote team ramped in about two weeks thanks to strong English and self-management skills. The impact on costs was significant: roughly a 60% reduction versus California equivalents, with the budget for one U.S. payroll clerk now covering two experienced offshore specialists, and a single $100K U.S. role translating to five qualified offshore hires. Operationally, CalSolar doubled capacity in payroll and estimating while sustaining ~50% year-over-year growth and improving processes.

“It’s not just about saving money. It’s about expanding capacity without sacrificing quality. Revaya helps us move faster, hire better, and grow smarter.” — Dawn Willis, Controller, CalSolar Inc.

The Challenge

CalSolar’s revenue kept climbing—~50% annually—but the local market made critical hires slow and expensive. A core HR role sat open for five months, straining teams and stalling initiatives. The company had remote systems in place, but needed reliable, self-directed offshore talent that would integrate culturally and operationally with U.S. teams.

The Revaya Approach

Remote-ready professionals—fast. We delivered multiple qualified candidates with resumes + intro videos and coordinated rapid interview loops until there was a clear fit—hire made in under three weeks.

Seamless onboarding. CalSolar paired U.S. leads (AP, AR, estimating) with Revaya hires for structured handoffs, weekly cross-border standups, and tight accountability. Because our candidates are experienced in remote work, ramp time dropped to ~2 weeks.

• <2% acceptance rate, multi-stage assessments, and culture-fit screening
• Ongoing HR management, performance reviews, and guaranteed replacements
• AI-enabled workflows for faster output and fewer errors

The Results

• Capacity without overhead drag. With a third of the workforce now in the Philippines, CalSolar staffs more robustly at lower cost—freeing leaders to tackle audits, process improvements, and new projects.
• Cost efficiency that compounds. Real-world budget math: one $24/hr U.S. payroll clerk vs two seasoned offshore clerks; one $100K prevailing-wage role vs five qualified hires offshore.
• Speed to impact. Rapid hiring plus remote-ready pros helped double capacity in payroll and estimating while maintaining ~50% annual growth.
