“Hiring people in the marketing service industry is highly inefficient,” said Chris Toy, CEO of MarketerHire. “We are fundamentally fixing the broken hiring process and going to great lengths in order to make the best match between brands and marketers. Companies are able to avoid expensive recruiter fees and a lengthy hiring process to get the proven marketer(s) they need, on-demand. On the flip side, our marketers are regularly adding 30-50% to their annual income with none of the hassle or stress that usually accompanies freelancing. In fact, many are freelancing for the first time because we’ve made it so easy, making it a win-win for everyone.”
How it works: Marketers apply to join and are put through a rigorous vetting process that includes several interviews with the platform’s team of marketing veterans. Current marketing talent hails from notable brands such as Allbirds, AirBnB, Rent the Runway, Netflix, Away, Bird, Glossier, Invision, Uber and more. On the flip side, startups and agencies can post jobs on the site and to get matched with qualified marketers within 48 hours. Now, all companies, from enterprises to small startups, have affordable access to hire some of the best-performing marketers for their next critical campaign and/or ongoing work.
The company recently raised a $1.075M seed round from current and former founders and executives at Thrive Market, Honest Co., BarkBox, Outer, Jet, The Hundreds, Lyft, Carta, Remote Year, and Y Combinator. The funds will be used to ramp hiring to support the scale of the business.
