Hire a digital marketer: digital marketing hiring without the agency fee
Digital marketer is the broadest title in the field, which is exactly why it is hard to hire for. The same two words describe a generalist who touches every channel, a paid-media buyer, an SEO, an email operator and a marketing manager who runs a team. Post a vague digital marketing role to a general job board and you get a hundred resumes that all say the right words and tell you nothing about who can do the specific job you need done.

The short answer
Hiring a digital marketer in the United States costs roughly $55,000 to $100,000 a year for a full-time hire, or $40 to $150 an hour for a freelancer. A recruitment agency will typically add 15% to 25% of first-year base salary, which is $8,250 to $25,000 on that band. Posting the role directly to a marketing job board costs $199 for a 30-day post. Because digital marketer covers SEO, paid, email and content, the best candidates can name the one or two channels they actually drove and the number that moved.

Why post here
A board built only for marketing roles
Digital marketers, not a general pile
The role surfaces to people browsing marketing roles by specialty, so you screen practitioners instead of every applicant with the words on a resume.
A flat $199, not a cut of salary
A contingency recruiter on an $80,000 digital role typically bills $12,000 to $20,000. A 30-day post on this board is $199.
Scope the channels before you post
SEO, paid, email and content are different jobs under one title. Name the two or three the role owns and the right people apply.
How it works
From posting to a signed offer
Decide generalist or specialist
A small team often needs one person across channels; a larger team needs depth in one. Name which shape you are hiring for before you write the posting.
Post it with the salary band
Post for $199 and the role goes live the same day, tagged by specialty, with the USD band on the card so applicants have accepted your number.
Screen for one channel and one result
Ask each candidate to walk you through the channel they know best and the number they moved. The people who did the work answer from memory.
How to evaluate
What to look for in a digital marketer
MarketerJob lists marketing roles and nothing else, so a digital marketing role reaches people who browse the board by specialty. You pay $199 for a 30-day post instead of a percentage of the salary, and the pay band shows on the card so the applicants who come in have already accepted your number. Name the channels the role actually owns and the right generalists and specialists self-select.
- The one or two channels they actually drove, with a number that moved
- A view of how the channels connect, not a list of tools they have touched
- Comfort in analytics: they can tie activity to pipeline or revenue, not just traffic
- Evidence they can execute, not only plan and delegate, if the role is hands-on
- An honest account of a channel that did not work and what they changed
- A resume that lists every channel equally, with no depth anywhere, is a weak signal
