You've got a few solid candidates. Now what?

This episode is part two of our series on hiring marketers (missed part one? Go back to the episode before this one). In this session, we're focusing on how to confidently assess the marketer in front of you, before, during, and after the hire.

We dig into:

  • What to ask in interviews (and what their answers should tell you)
  • How to design take-home tasks that reveal real skills
  • What red flags to actually pay attention to
  • How to set your marketer up for success with proper onboarding
  • And what keeps great marketers engaged long-term
