One channel
A channel that nobody in-house can run
Google Ads spends the budget and nobody knows why. The newsletter has not gone out since spring. You know which channel is broken and you want one person who runs it well, starting soon.
Hire marketers without recruiting: vetted and matched to your industry
You need a marketer, not another hiring process. Describe what the person should do, and a senior project manager with 15+ years of experience matches a vetted specialist who has already done that work in your industry. You meet them on a call and decide.
Free analysis first, with no commitment. Finding the right person is our job, not yours.
Who hires this way
Three situations where hiring a marketer through us beats a job post
Companies come to us with an open position, a broken channel or a marketing manager who is out of hours. In each case the answer is the same: a specialist who has done this before, matched by a person, not a job board.
After a failed search
The last recruiting round went nowhere
Two months of job posts, applicants who list every tool they have ever opened, a generalist who left after a year. The position is still open and the work is still not done.
Growing team
More work than your marketing person can carry
Your marketing manager is drowning in channels. Instead of a second full-time hire, you add specialists for the channels that need them, under one project manager, for as long as the work lasts.
How hiring works
Five steps from an open position to a marketer at work
No job description to write, no applicants to screen. You tell a senior project manager what the marketer should do, and the rest of the hiring process happens on our side. Before anyone starts, you meet the person and say yes or no.
-
Step 1
Tell us what the marketer should do
Enter your website address, then leave a phone number. On the call you describe the job in your own words: the channel, the results you expect, how much of your time you can give. You do not need a job description.
The request lands with a senior project manager with 15+ years of experience in marketing, who becomes your single point of contact from this moment on.
-
Step 2
Within 24 hours you get an analysis and a call
Before anyone is hired, you see what the channel actually needs. The PDF reviews your marketing next to your competitors and shows whether the position you have in mind is the right one, or whether the gap is somewhere else.
On the call you and the project manager define the role: scope, hours per month, first tasks and how success will be measured.
-
Step 3
The project manager matches the person
No job post and no pile of applications. The project manager knows the vetted marketers in the network and picks the one who has run the same channel for companies in your industry.
You get a short note on why this person: their background in your industry, the vetting they passed and what they will do in the first weeks.
-
Step 4
You interview once, then decide
One short call with the matched marketer, by video or phone, scheduled at a time that suits you. Ask about their past work, how they would approach your channel and what they need from you to start.
If the person is not right, say so. The project manager goes back to matching and presents someone else, and you commit to nothing until you say yes.
-
Step 5
The marketer starts, the project manager stays
Access to accounts, a first task with a date and a reporting rhythm are set up in the first week. The marketer works in stages, and each stage is reviewed before it reaches you.
You do not become the manager of a contractor. The project manager checks the work, keeps the deadlines and steps in when something goes off track, for as long as the marketer works for you.
Roles you can hire
Which marketers you can hire through Marketers.com
One role or several. Every marketer below runs one channel as a specialty and has done it for companies like yours. If the analysis shows you need more than one, the project manager assembles a team instead of a single hire.
Paid search
Google Ads and PPC specialist
Search, Shopping and Performance Max campaigns, conversion tracking, budget pacing and monthly reporting on cost per lead.
Paid social
Meta ads specialist
Facebook and Instagram campaigns for leads and sales, creative testing, retargeting and audiences built from your customer data.
Search visibility
SEO specialist
Technical fixes, content for the searches your customers make, local rankings and Google Business Profile, plus visibility in AI answers.
Social media
Social media manager
A publishing plan, posts and short video for the platforms your customers use, community replies and monthly results.
Email and CRM
Email and automation marketer
Newsletters, welcome and follow-up sequences, segmentation in your CRM or HubSpot and text message campaigns where they fit.
Content
Content marketer and copywriter
Website copy, landing pages, articles for search, sales one-pagers and ad copy, written to sell rather than to fill a page.
Every marketer you hire through us was vetted before you met them. A knowledge test in their specialty, a practical task on a real brief, an interview and reference checks. After the start, a senior project manager checks their work, so you are not the only one holding them to a standard.

Hiring questions
What companies ask before they hire a marketer through us
Single hire or team, who chooses, which roles, how fast, whose employee the marketer is and what happens when the work slips.
01Can I hire a single marketer, or only a whole team?
Either. Most companies that arrive on this page need one person for one channel, and that is exactly what the project manager matches. If the analysis shows that the channel depends on others, for example ads that need landing pages and tracking, the project manager tells you so and proposes the smallest team that will get the result. You decide on the scope before anyone starts.
02Do I get to choose who I hire?
You decide, but you do not browse a list. A senior project manager who knows the vetted marketers in the network picks the person for your industry and the role you described, and explains why. You meet that person on a short call and say yes or no. If it is a no, the project manager presents someone else. Every candidate you meet has already passed vetting, so the choice is about fit, not about screening.
03What kinds of marketers can I hire?
Specialists for every channel a growing company uses: Google Ads and PPC, Meta ads, LinkedIn and TikTok ads, SEO and AI search visibility, social media, email and marketing automation, HubSpot and CRM, content and copywriting, video and UGC, web design, landing pages and ecommerce stores. Each marketer runs one specialty, so you hire a person for the channel rather than a generalist who does a bit of everything.
04How fast can the marketer start?
Within 24 hours of your request you have the analysis and a call with the project manager to define the role. The intro call with the matched marketer is scheduled in the days that follow, at a time that works for you, and the first stage of work starts as soon as you say yes and the accounts are shared. Compared with a recruiting round, the difference is usually measured in weeks.
05Is the marketer my employee or yours?
Neither in the payroll sense. The marketer works on your company through Marketers.com, coordinated by your project manager, and you receive one monthly bill for the agreed scope instead of running payroll, benefits and tools for a new employee. If you later want to bring the function in-house, the plan, the accounts and the history of the work are yours to hand over.
06What if the marketer stops delivering?
You tell your project manager, not the marketer. Because the project manager reviews every stage, slips are usually caught before you notice them. When a stage does not hold up, they require revisions. When the person is not the right fit, they replace them with another vetted marketer from the same specialty, and the new person picks up from the files and history kept by the project manager rather than from zero.
