In this episode of the Simple and Smart SEO Show, I interview Josh Peacock, CEO of SEO for Hire.

I get to ask him all sorts of questions about SEO recruitment, so you get an inside look at what the recruiting process looks like!

Want to know the expectations of different SEO jobs and how much they make? (ME TOO!)

We also talk about how the changes in technology and search may impact availability of SEO roles in the future.
SEO Recruitment Tips For Businesses:

  • Map out the recruitment process for SEO roles.
  • Identify the traits of top performers.
  • Utilize DISC assessments (if legal in your country) to determine compatibility with existing team members.
  • Develop a thorough vetting process to sniff out SEO experience bluffs.
  • Avoid rushing recruitment; this results in bad hires at a high cost.

SEO Recruitment Tips For Job Searchers:

  • A growth mindset is essential for success in the industry.
  • There's no fixed hierarchy in SEO roles.
  • Titles and responsibilities varying widely between companies.
  • SEO for travel is one in-demand industry.
  • Salary ranges for SEO roles is all over the place.

More Insights For SEO Job Searchers:

  • A senior SEO director role is highly valued, with salaries up to 300K.
  • Josh suggested that the future of SEO roles lies in strategy and growth advising, rather than technical tasks.
  • Build your communication skills to talk with C-suite executives.
