Hiring tips from our team
Advice for finding the right growth hacker
Ask for specific experiment results — hypothesis, test design, sample size, and outcome. Vague answers like "I increased signups 40%" without details are a red flag.
Give a take-home challenge: "Here is our funnel data. Where would you focus first and what experiments would you run?" This tests analytical thinking and prioritization.
Look for T-shaped skills — broad knowledge across channels with deep expertise in 1–2 areas (e.g., paid acquisition + CRO, or SEO + product-led growth).
Check for technical comfort. The best growth hackers can write basic SQL, set up tracking, and work with engineers without being a bottleneck.
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."
