Hiring tips from our team
Advice for finding the right community manager
Ask candidates to show you a community they grew — not just managed. Growth from scratch vs. inheriting an established community are very different skills.
Test their writing with a real scenario: "Write a post announcing a product delay that keeps the community supportive." Tone is everything.
Look for genuine empathy and patience. Community work involves handling frustrated people daily — burnout risk is high for the wrong personality.
Prioritize candidates with experience in your platform (Discord vs. Slack vs. forums). Platform-specific knowledge matters more than it seems.

Feedback from founders who hired through us
Keto Software
€1.7M ARR startup • Hired 4+ positions • Focus on European expansion hires
What we've delivered:
"Working with Herizon has been an absolute turning point for our hiring. They have already helped us successfully bring on board a Growth Marketing Manager and a RevOps Manager, and are now supporting us in finding the right AEs and a Partnership Development Manager. What sets Herizon apart is not only their deep understanding of every role in a revenue organization, but also their ability to truly grasp what we are looking for as if they were part of our own team. They don't just present candidates — they challenge our thinking, help us sort through priorities, and go deep with candidates to ensure we're meeting the right people. I couldn't recommend Herizon highly enough for any company looking to build out their revenue teams with the right people."
"Found people who actually understand the problem. They're from regions where sustainability challenges are real and motivation to solve them is high."
