Digital marketing recruitment · Ukraine
We score digital marketing portfolios against four dimensions: strategy, execution, tooling and results. Every shortlisted candidate arrives with evidence notes and links to real work.
Step 01 / Intake
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.
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 listBudget authority, reporting line and the size of the team the person joins. Seniority sets the evidence bar we score portfolios against.
Rubric weightingPaid 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.
Stack checkShortlist deadline, who joins the interview loop and the earliest start date. Dates are booked before outreach so candidates are not left waiting.
Loop calendarEvaluation rubric
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.

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

Fluency with the platforms the role actually runs on, evidenced rather than listed.
25%
Documented outcomes with a baseline, a timeframe and a source the reviewer can check.
Each score arrives with an evidence note and a link to the sample behind it. See how the evaluation process runs.
Sample shortlist
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
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.
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.
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.

Employer notes
Two hiring managers on what changed when candidates arrived with scores and evidence attached.
Request a shortlist sample“The shortlist came with rubric scores and links to real campaign work, so our first call went straight to strategy instead of asking who did what.”
“Interview scheduling was coordinated for us and the notes were honest about gaps. We still made the final call, which is how we wanted it.”
