Step 01 / Intake

Four inputs we lock before sourcing starts

A search opens only after the brief is precise. Role, seniority, channel mix and timeline are recorded together, so the shortlist is built against your real workload rather than a job title.

  1. 01

    Role and scope of ownership

    What the hire owns day to day: one channel, a full funnel, or team leadership. We ask for the deliverables attached to the seat, not the job title alone.

    Deliverables list
  2. 02

    Seniority and decision rights

    Budget authority, reporting line and the size of the team the person joins. Seniority sets the evidence bar we score portfolios against.

    Rubric weighting
  3. 03

    Channel mix and tooling

    Paid search, paid social, SEO, CRM or lifecycle. We note the stack in use, GA4, Looker Studio or a bid management tool, because portfolio proof must match it.

    Timeline and interview slots

    Shortlist deadline, who joins the interview loop and the earliest start date. Dates are booked before outreach so candidates are not left waiting.

Evaluation rubric

Four weighted dimensions, one comparable score

Every portfolio is scored against the same rubric, so a candidate reviewed in March stays comparable to one reviewed in September. Weights are agreed in the role brief and printed on each shortlist row.

30%

Strategy

How clearly the work connects channel choice and audience to a commercial goal.

  • Audience and positioning
  • Channel rationale
  • Budget allocation logic

30%

Execution

The craft visible in shipped work: creative, copy, landing pages, campaign structure.

  • Creative and copy quality
  • Landing page structure
  • Campaign build accuracy

15%

Tooling

Fluency with the platforms the role actually runs on, evidenced rather than listed.

  • Analytics and attribution setup
  • Ad platform depth
  • Automation and reporting

25%

Results

Documented outcomes with a baseline, a timeframe and a source the reviewer can check.

  • Baseline and timeframe
  • Metric relevance to the role
  • Verifiable reporting source

Each score arrives with an evidence note and a link to the sample behind it. See how the evaluation process runs.

Sample shortlist

Scores, evidence notes and status in one view

Every row carries the rubric score, the evidence behind it and the current status. Each candidate reaches this table only after a portfolio review, so the note points to work you can inspect rather than a summary written from a CV.

Candidate Strategy Execution Tooling Results Total Evidence note Status
Olena K.Performance Marketing Manager 5 5 4 4 18/20 Paid search rebuild for a Kyiv retail brand; cost per acquisition down 34% across two quarters. Shortlisted
Dmytro S.SEO Lead 4 4 5 4 17/20 Migrated 1,200 URLs without traffic loss; the technical audit was adopted by the in-house team. Interview scheduled
Iryna M.Content Strategist 4 3 4 4 15/20 Editorial calendar for a B2B software blog; six briefs were reused by the sales team. On hold

Scores run from 1 to 5 per dimension, where 5 means strong portfolio evidence. We coordinate interviews but do not make hiring decisions, and no interviews, offers or outcomes are guaranteed. Read how the shortlist is assembled.

Portfolio proof

Two submissions, scored on the same four dimensions

These are the evidence pages employers receive: the work sample, the evaluator note, and the skill tags that carried the score. Candidate names stay withheld until the shortlist is shared.

Performance Marketing Lead

8.6/ 10

Evaluator note: Channel budgets are documented month by month, and every creative test links to the cost per lead it produced. Tooling depth carried this file; reporting is less consistent across quarters.

  • Meta Ads Manager
  • GA4 attribution
  • Budget planning

Content & SEO Strategist

8.1/ 10

Evaluator note: The keyword map separates commercial from informational intent, and the editorial calendar names an owner and a review date for each piece. Measurement stops at rankings, with no traffic or lead outcomes attached.

  • Technical audit
  • Editorial calendar
  • Looker Studio
