If you read this newsletter often enough, you’ve probably noticed that we post job listings from time to time, usually for writers and growth marketers.
Ever wondered how we actually decide who to hire?
It’s a simple process that’s worked pretty well for us—we’re proud of our team.
Stacked Marketer’s remote hiring process
Our process consists of a few simple steps.
Step 1: Check their resume and portfolio for basic skills
You won’t learn everything from a resume, but you can get the gist of someone’s experience.
It also helps you immediately sort out the candidates that aren’t a good fit.
Step 2: Do a test project to see skills in action
Lots of people talk a big game, but can’t make magic happen when it’s showtime.
To combat this, we send promising applicants a short test project to get a feel for their overall quality of work, knowing full well that they have little context and would likely improve over time.
Step 3: Have a call to determine culture fit
Some things you just have to get on a call for. Once someone’s done well on the test project, we’ll have a video call to get a sense of their overall vibe.
From here, we make our decision.
There ya go
