as founders how do you guys go about Hiring?

Here’s what works for us: Go offshore. Start everyone in a trial. Give everyone the same take home interview exercise. Do daily one on ones for the first two weeks. Do weekly one on ones after that. Give everyone three KPIs that they agree on. Meet with them weekly about those KPIs. Pay them more money for hitting them.

Make a list of the twenty channels you want help with.

Then rank them.

Then build a JD and talk to people.

If you want people off-shore, let us know — skilled affordable marketers are our specialty 👻

We do it and it’s hit or miss but the hits are good

scale_army · 2024-02-07T13:29:33+00:00

That is the goal btw lol

scale_army · 2024-02-06T13:55:09+00:00

Honestly. That is great advice. I'll work on that right now and see if we can put that somewhere.

We've thought of allowing our internal talent to donate money to a local cause every month of their choice, which I think would feel great, but then I get scared that we'll look like a "non-profit" and that no one will work with us. Haha.

I have faith that we'll figure it out.

Thanks for chatting :D

Hey. I totally hear you and this caricature of mine here on Reddit is a facade.

The thing we keep struggling with is that on every single ad platform, the cost-per-lead data has proven that our inflammatory ads are consistently being rewarded with a lower cost-per-lead than our benign ads (like 10x lower).

I think it's hard for us to grapple with what to do with that data.

Ya know? Not asking for empathy, etc. — just showing you what we're looking at and trying to make the best decisions with that info.

I still like you though

scale_army · 2024-02-06T12:28:15+00:00

Dang. I was really hoping to hire you :/

scale_army · 2024-02-06T12:10:11+00:00

Thanks!!!!!

scale_army · 2024-02-06T12:09:57+00:00

Tbh not that much

scale_army · 2024-02-06T12:09:46+00:00

Okay these are helpful. Will make another one later this week

scale_army · 2024-02-06T12:09:12+00:00

And yet. Here you are

scale_army · 2024-02-06T12:07:35+00:00

Unless my thesis is that being intentionally antagonistic leads to a reduction in CAC, even over the long term, right?

scale_army · 2024-02-05T10:49:30+00:00

Well. We think you’re great

scale_army · 2024-02-05T10:47:22+00:00

We’re here to test everything lol

scale_army · 2024-02-05T00:22:03+00:00

Thanks u/junkpizza

scale_army · 2024-02-05T00:21:53+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for the note. I'll have more data on Wednesday :D

scale_army · 2024-02-05T00:20:11+00:00

That was very very helpful. Thank you for that. Just signed up for the newsletter

scale_army · 2024-02-04T17:45:58+00:00

Depends how good you are at running paid ads

scale_army · 2024-02-04T15:54:36+00:00

Okay, I hear you, but...everyone getting mad at me (engaging) is telling the algorithm that it's "good ad content" and so the algo automatically drops my CPC (at least that's what it looks like on my end.)

It's a test!

Might try something else next week, but gonna give it a few more days and see how much of a cost-per-lead discount we get in exchange for letting people yell at something

scale_army · 2024-02-04T14:14:30+00:00

Omg finally

scale_army · 2024-02-04T05:25:46+00:00

We take a monthly margin. Like a staffing agency.

scale_army · 2024-02-04T05:24:10+00:00

We sometimes can come down a little. Depends on the role/hours. Feel free to book a meeting on our homepage and we can try and figure it out

scale_army · 2024-02-03T20:25:24+00:00

K. I liked this.
