I've been using Upwork for about a year to hire marketers for our subscription-based business, but I'm very disappointed. The last time I posted a job, I received over 60 applications in 48 hours. Most of them were clearly mass-marketing. I spent 20 hours reviewing applications and conducting preliminary interviews, and in the end, the person I hired wasn't a good fit.
I need someone for strategic marketing work where I have to make real decisions about budget and channels. So, I really need a more efficient way to find qualified candidates so I don't have to spend half my week screening applications.

When you hire someone to make decisions about budgets, channels, and growth strategy, a massive influx of templated applications becomes a grueling task. For subscription businesses, the cost of marketing mistakes is especially high, and spending 20 hours on initial selection is an unaffordable luxury for a manager. Consider more specialized and technologically advanced solutions, such as a freelance marketplace that accepts crypto payments as a modern alternative to traditional exchanges, focused on higher-quality selection and modern financial instruments.
