We evolved from hands-on writing into a growth-focused, cross-functional content team. No fluff, no legacy bloat—just specialists with skin in the game, delivering what matters.

Straightforwardness, stability, accountability, and reliability. We don’t just deliver, we tweak and improve until we see the results. We’ll tell you what’s not working, how we plan on fixing it, and what the difference will be; no spin, no vanity metrics. You’ll always know what’s already in place and what’s coming next.

Our story

From a first Upwork profile to HIREQUARTERS

I’m Milan Novaković, founder & CEO of HIREQUARTERS. After graduating in English Language & Literature at the University of Niš, I stepped into the market with energy and (like many grads) no-experience stamp.

I applied everywhere, including as an online English teacher. Applications came back with the same answer: not enough experience. But here’s the catch: you need a job to get experience, but you need experience to get a job.

So I built my own. I opened an Upwork freelancer profile and, when early pitches didn’t land, I launched a personal blog to create a portfolio from scratch. I wrote, iterated, and kept applying.

There were more rejections along the way: Work & Travel USA, a flight attendant role at an airline, and even an SEO content writer position with a future competitor in iGaming. That mix of I can do more and why won’t anyone give me a shot? was rough. The turning point was realizing I didn’t need permission to start.

A close college friend, tired of online teaching, asked how he could make a switch into content. I proposed a simple deal that still shapes how we operate today: I’d win projects on Upwork; he’d help deliver; we’d share revenue. No exclusivity, he could still build his own path. Our first job was on an unlikely topic: shipping containers. But it proved our approach worked. I invited another friend, and we now had a team.

On December 1, 2017, we formalized as an Upwork agency and took on anything we could to learn and keep moving. Over time, one thing became obvious: it’s better to be best at something than average at everything.

We specialize in industries where accuracy, compliance, and trust matter most: iGaming, crypto, cybersecurity, and FinTech.

Our roots are in language and editing, so content naturally came first. But in the real world, content and SEO are inseparable, and global clients need translation/localization to scale.

We built HIREQUARTERS around that full stack: SEO strategy, expert-led content production, and SEO-smart translation, a workflow that pairs human expertise with editorial standards and reliable delivery.

From a self-made portfolio to a focused agency, our core principles remained the same: do the work, own the outcome, and keep delivering. That’s HIREQUARTERS.

Our experience with HIREQUARTERS has been nothing short of spectacular. Their keen understanding of the iGaming industry, combined with their superb language skills, has played a pivotal role in our company's growth in the marketing field and our overall reach. They have been consistent in delivering high-quality content tailored to our unique needs for years. Providing a quick turnaround time despite tight deadlines and challenging topics never seems to be an issue for them, which makes my job so much easier. I wholeheartedly recommend HIREQUARTERS to any iGaming business looking for a reliable and knowledgeable content writing agency that can keep your content engaging and fresh.
