Answered
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.
