What they handle

The work they take off your plate

Eight role families, not one job description. This is what agencies actually ask us to fill.

  • Creative production — 19%. Graphic designers first, then video editors, including short-form and podcast editing, and web designers.
  • Sales and lead generation — 17%. Appointment setters by a wide margin, then SDRs and lead generators.
  • SEO, content and social — 13%. SEO specialists, with local and technical SEO both common, and social media managers.
  • Admin and executive support — 12%. Virtual and executive assistants, including right-hand roles to the founder, plus finance assistants.
  • Marketing generalist and strategy — 12%. Marketing managers, coordinators and marketing operations specialists.
  • Paid media — 11%. PPC specialists overwhelmingly, then media buyers across Meta and Google.
  • Web development and automation — 10%. GoHighLevel specialists, full-stack and WordPress developers. This family grew from about 2% of agency placements before 2025 to about 15% in 2026.
  • Project and client management — 6%. Project managers, account managers and client success roles.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most from teams weighing a remote hire. Still not sure it's the right fit? Book a quick call and we'll walk you through your specific case.

What roles do marketing agencies hire remotely? Eight families, with no single one above about 19%. Creative production leads, then sales and lead generation, then SEO, content and social. Close to half of agency hiring — sales, admin, web development and project roles — is not marketing work at all.

What makes agency hiring different from other businesses? Against the rest of our placement book, agencies hire paid media specialists about 9 times as often and creative production roles about 5 times as often. Sales and admin roles are a smaller share of hiring at agencies than at a typical client.

What is changing fastest? Web development and automation. Mostly GoHighLevel specialists and developers building funnels, automations and integrations for agency clients, it grew from about 2% of agency placements before 2025 to about 15% in 2026.

Do agencies hire more than once? Three in five agencies that made a placement went on to make at least one more, and two in five made three or more.

How much does it cost? Rates start at $7/hour and vary by role — each role page carries its own published floor. You save up to 70% against a comparable US hire, with no placement fees.

How fast can I hire? Shortlist in 48 hours, start in 72 hours. Both timelines run from your first call and include weekends. Your shortlist contains 3–5 vetted candidates.

Figures come from Virtustant's own discovery call, role request and placement records for marketing and advertising agencies, read on 21 September 2026. Shares are rounded, so they may not sum to exactly 100.
