Hiring tips from our team
Advice for finding the right content marketer
Give candidates a real brief and 48 hours to produce a draft. The process matters more than polish — ask them to walk through their research and outline decisions.
Test their SEO knowledge beyond keywords. Ask about internal linking, content structure, and how they would update an underperforming article.
Look for curiosity about your industry. The best content marketers become mini-experts in your space quickly because they enjoy learning.
Ask about content distribution. Writing is only half the job — the other half is getting the content in front of the right audience.
What companies say
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."
