More About FeaturesHiring writers used to suck.
It’s the worst part about your job.
The whole process is manual and chaotic.
It sucks so much, that you give up once you get a couple of dozen of candidates, and only test a handful.
So what happens is….
You don’t hire the best possible writers you can afford.
You hire the best you can of the few you tested.
Then you spend too much time editing because their portfolio was way better than what they’re submitting to you, and they inevitably resign or you terminate them.
Here’s the deal.
Just like the #1 lever for faster SEO results is publishing more content.
The #1 lever for hiring better writers is evaluating and testing more writing candidates.
That’s it.
And Workello makes it possible to filter through hundreds of candidates to identify and hire the top 1%.
Need to hire niche writers? Check out our playbook on hiring hard to find writers.
“Almost overnight, we had 100+ candidates that we could quickly filter through, and in about 2 weeks we hired 10 writers.” – Kiril Kirilov, Founder, Rush App
“Workello has changed the game for us. In just under 2 weeks, we hired 4 really amazing, good-quality writers.” – Alan Martin, Founder, RNKD
“Our first hiring round with Workello has been our most successful hiring round so far. In the span of two weeks, we received about 140 candidates, tested 30, we shortlisted to 15 interviews and hired seven new writers that joined our existing team.” – Dr. Mark Coster, Founder, FairyDigital
“With Workello, we were able to test so many candidates that now we are absolutely confident that we hired the best people for the job.” – Alexander Heinle, Zavvy.io
“Never in my life have I managed to filter through 200 candidates in a space of two weeks, and actually get to a point where I’m ready to hire someone, and that for me was a game-changer” – Andrew Kemp, Managing editor, State of Digital Publishing
“With Workello, I can have a consistent stream of candidates that I can always reach out to very quickly and find new writers to help with our stories fast.” – David Adler, NetInfluencer
“Workello just brings it all into one easy place. I don’t have to chase around messages and portfolios in various different channels anymore, which was a nightmare to keep up with” Jacob Andra, Founder, CustomerFaucet
“With Workello it’s been so much easier to hire writers and video editors. The testing part is what really shines and makes our process more streamlined.” – Joey Daoud, CEO, NewTerritoryMedia
It takes approximately three minutes to deploy your hiring funnel in Workello because we’ve pre-written and pre-optimized everything for you based on our own experience hiring hundreds of writers.
Everything is ready to go, so you can start hiring better writers ASAP.
Sign up for Workello and breeze through setup in about a minute.
Candidates find your job ad on LinkedIn, Reddit, ProBlogger (or anywhere else you post) and complete their application on Workello.
Click here for an example of what your candidates will see.
Further down in this hiring playbook you’ll find our favorite hiring channels for hiring generalist writers – if you’re looking for writers with experience in a specific niche, we’ve got you covered too.
Pssst. Learn why Workello is NOT a writer marketplace.
It only takes one click to send candidates a pre-hire assessment test, or a polite rejection email.
This means you can filter through hundreds of candidates in just a few minutes.
Candidates receive emails inviting them to take a writing test on Workello.
Candidates that complete their assessment are moved from ‘Assessment Sent’ to ‘Assessment Received’.
With just one click, invite your candidates to an interview, send them a polite rejection email, or click ‘Pass Assessment’ to send them to a holding status while you review your other candidates.
Now it’s time to get candidates.
You can post on all of the resources below in less than 30 minutes total.
If you’re not looking for generalists, and only want writers with specific experience, check out our playbook on hiring niche writers.
And we highly recommend delegating this process to your Virtual Assistant. Read our playbook about it here.
Did you know that you can post free job ads on LinkedIn?
And it takes about 5 minutes?
Learn more here.
Reddit is our runner-up favorite for free job ads, right next to LinkedIn.
It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s free.
Writing Specific
General Hiring
Posting your job in Facebook groups is NOT necessary to getting 200+ candidates in 72 hours.
It’s also a bit more work because you’ll generally get fewer candidates from each post, so you have to make more posts.
But it’s invaluable if you’re looking for writers with experience in a specific niche/industry.
And it’s free, so we’re including it.
But remember — it’s not necessary unless you want writers with specific experience and interest.
Here’s how to do it:
Some pro-tips:
ProBlogger costs $80 for a regular job ad, and it should get you about 100 writing candidates.
But if you upgrade to the premium job ad for $160, you’ll get 300+ candidates.
Go with the premium.
$160 might seem like a lot, but you’re going to spend at least $80 per page of content.
And the #1 decision you’ll make as a content manager is who you hire.
Everything is either easy, hard, or impossible depending on that first decision.
