Recruiting for founder-led marketing agencies

Make your next hire without making hiring your second job.

We help you define the role and check the pay range, then find and assess candidates. You approve the role, pay, shortlist, and offer.

Understand the role. Meet people worth considering.

Before you need more candidates

Finding applicants is one thing.
Knowing who to hire is another.

Get clear on what this person needs to own.

Maybe the role is clear and you don't have time to run the search. Maybe the responsibilities, level, and pay still need work. We start with what you know, resolve what's unclear, and search against a brief you've approved.

Paid work

See how they'd do the work here.

A good interview matters. So does seeing someone work through a real problem from your business. A paid work sample shows you how they'd bring their experience to your company, and gives you something concrete to talk about before you decide.

120 days

The wrong hire doesn't just leave

A mismatch takes weeks to surface and months to unwind, and it changes how the team around it works.

The work still needs doing. Your team covers the gap while you start again.

A 120-day replacement-search guarantee is included, subject to the conditions in your service agreement. We'll explain those conditions before you commit.

You approve
the role, pay, shortlist, and offer.

We handle the work between.

And then something changes.

"I finally feel excited about the future of my business... and that hasn't happened in a very long time."

How the search works

Somebody has to
run the search.

You can run it yourself. The question is how much of it you want to take on alongside your other work.

Running it yourself · the work on your plateSearching with SuperHired · the same four stages, off your plate

Role and payYou write the job post, work out a pay range without market data, and get the team to agree on what the person will own.We define what the person will own, check the pay range against the market, and bring you a brief to approve.

Find and screenYou post the role, chase referrals, read every application, screen on calls between client work, and follow up with everyone who didn't make it.We source, screen, and handle every candidate conversation. You meet a shortlist, not an inbox.

Compare the evidenceYou compare candidates from memory and interview notes. Nobody has seen any of them do the work.Finalists complete a paid work sample. You get the findings written down, side by side, with the strengths and the open questions.

Decision and offerYou run the final interviews, check references, negotiate the offer, and carry the risk if it doesn't work out.You choose who to hire. We coordinate the final conversations, the references, and the offer.

The recruiting work doesn't have to be yours.

"Most of our clients already know what they need. They just haven't had someone take the time to help them see it clearly."

Josh Hill, Founder & Principal Recruiter, SuperHired

Working timeline

We make your hiring decisions easier.
Here's how the eight weeks go.

We plan around an eight-week target. The actual timeline depends on the role, market, and how quickly your team can make decisions.

Role and pay

Weeks 1-2

We learn what the person needs to own, surface disagreements, and bring market evidence before the brief is locked. You leave with a role brief you can approve and a pay range checked against the market.

Find and screen

Weeks 3-5

We run sourcing and outreach, handle candidate communication, and screen people against the role. Every candidate reads the Job Deck before their first conversation with us.

Compare the evidence

Weeks 6-7

Finalists complete a paid Work Simulation built from real problems in your business. We show why each candidate may or may not fit, where the risks are, and what still needs to be learned.

Decision and offer

Week 8

We keep final conversations, references, and offer steps clear and coordinated. You decide who to hire. After the start date, the 120-day replacement guarantee applies.

One client's story

How BabyEm hired an Operations Manager.

For over a decade, BabyEm's founder hired through job boards, agencies, referrals, and instinct. Each search started from scratch.

Then she ran a search with SuperHired. We spent two weeks understanding her company, her team, and what success would look like at 90 days before anyone was contacted.

The search placed an Operations Manager in September 2025. What Emma says about it is below, in her words.

Honest about fit

We're built for one kind of hire.
If yours isn't it, we'll say so.

A flat fee makes sense for one permanent hire that matters. If that's not what you're doing, we'd rather tell you on the call than take the search.

We're built for you when…

One permanent role that matters, where a bad hire would cost you.
You're a founder or leader who can't give a search weeks of your own time.
You want to see candidates do the work, not just interview well.
You can give us about two weeks of discovery before the search starts.

We're not the right fit when…

Bulk or high-volume hiring, like ten of the same role at once.
Temporary or contract roles.
Roles paying under about $60,000.
A start date within days. The search takes weeks by design.

We work with companies across the United States and select international teams.

If we're not right for this one, we'll tell you on the call.

Talk through the role you need to fill.

In a free 30-minute call, we'll discuss what the person needs to own, your budget, and timing. We'll explain whether we can help and what we'd need to agree before a search begins.
