Hiring the right people for the right roles can make or break a marketing department. Kyle and Jeff examine some of the struggles a marketing leader can face in hiring, and give insights on how to make the best hiring decisions possible.


Topics Covered:

Common hiring mistakes and misconceptions

  • Hiring based on expectations (which roles & skillsets you’re “supposed” to have).
  • Hiring as a reaction (planning for the present rather than the future).
  • Hiring too early (look for what you can outsource rather than wasting a role).
  • How to hire effectively

    • Know what your department is for, what your goals are, and what that will look like day-to-day.
    • Use contractors, agencies, & freelancers to fill the gaps and test the waters.
