Search For Hire Reviews

We recently partnered with Josh and his team at Search For Hire to help us recruit a Senior Account Manager for our agency, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience.

From the very beginning, the communication, professionalism, and understanding of our needs were top-notch. Within just 25 days of our onboarding call, they identified and helped us hire the perfect candidate for the role.

Finding high-level talent in today’s market is not easy, especially for leadership and client-facing positions, but Josh made the process feel seamless and efficient.

If you’re looking for a recruiting partner that moves fast, understands agency culture, and delivers quality candidates, I highly recommend Search For Hire.

Looking forward to building a much deeper partnership together as our team continues to grow.

Working with Josh & team to hire into our SEO team was made so much easier by their knowledge of the channel and their in-depth screening process.

Much more about quality than quantity with every candidate they delivered to us being a great fit.

Wanted to share a big thank you to Daris and the SEOForHire team, we’re so excited about the senior joining us in the New Year and Daris was awesome at being so flexible with my ever changing needs and wants, and still finding the right fit! The process was super efficient and the team always deliver.

Looking forward to hiring more awesome people through you in the near future.

I am so deeply impressed with the quality of the candidates received from SEO for hire.

They reached out to me at just the right time and had a strong value proposition, so I was ready to get started.

Within just over a month, we secured a new team member who is the most promising new member of our team. We’ve tried to fill this roll 5 times in the past 3 years, and this is the first time we’ve felt we’ve found the right fit.

Thank you, Daris and Josh!

SEO For Hire is one of the most solid Organic Search focused firms we’ve worked with. Firstly, they do NOT spray and pray. They take a super methodical approach to first aligning on what a 10/10 hire looks like, then search their vast network to find the most suitable candidates. They take feedback super well, and strategize with you things like org charts, what would set the hire up for success. Lastly, even post hire they are supportive, spending time checking in with the new hire and making sure things are going well. I was pretty shocked to learn they have a 1 year guarantee (good luck getting anyone to agree to 6+ months) but that speaks to the process and thoroughness.

I had a fantastic experience working with Faith to secure my new role. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional and never pushy, she reached out to ensure the position was a genuine fit for me before moving forward. The entire process was seamless, from the initial compatibility call to the final interviews. Faith was always available to answer my questions and provided fair, balanced, and understanding support while I was navigating the offer. I would be more than happy to recommend her to anyone looking for their next career move!

– great communication throughout the hiring process
– radical transparency in all phases
– thorough vetting of candidates

They have transformed our SEO hiring process, allowing us to find and recruit the top 1% of talent in the space, accelerating our company’s growth and allowing us to scale without slowing down.

Faith reached out to me with an opportunity at a U.S.-based agency, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was clear, transparent, and professional throughout the entire process. In the end, I was able to successfully close an agreement with the agency on very competitive terms, including performance-based bonuses. I truly appreciate Faith’s great work, professionalism, and support. Highly recommended.

We had a great experience with SEO for Hire – they were highly communicative throughout the process, checking in on how all conversations with candidates were going and asking for feedback. We ended up hiring one of the first candidates that SEO for Hire introduced to us.

After three failed hires, these guys found us a rockstar! Emma is a great fit both technically and culturally! She’s taken a huge load from our Founder and opened up a lot of bandwidth for us to take on more, larger, clients.

Great job filling that role for us. We love having her on the team!

Communication was frequent and proactive. Multiple strong candidates were put forward, even for a role we expected would be hard to fill due to a particular geographic area requirement.

Was an excellent experience working with them!

From initial outreach to follow-up, Faith was kind, patient and communicative. She struck the perfect balance of communication, too, never too much or too little, just the information I needed when I needed it.

Had a great experience with Faith. Really helpful and on the ball with contact and feedback. Definitely would recommend!

Great support from the word go, these guys clearly vetted who was being sent through to ensure that matched the criteria and also the culture of the business.

From her initial outreach on LinkedIn through to signing the contract, Faith was a pleasure to work with. Would definitely recommend SEO for hire to a job seeker!

Phenomenal experience with SEO for hire. Having managed our startup’s digital channels for the past 18 months, I decided it was time for 2 game changing hires. I was transparent with the team that both placements had to be completely brand aligned, have experienced scaling to greatness, and be ready for the fast paced nature of a global startup brand.

The team absolutely crushed it. Offers for both placements sent out within 1 month of first conversation (the second actually within 2 weeks of mentioning to the team), with the exact standard that I required for these roles.

The team take feedback extremely well, and thrive off it. If you know what you want in a placement and can communicate that – SEO for hire will find the best people for you.

I worked with Faith and had a great experience from start to finish. She took the time to do an initial interview with me and then quickly set up the next steps with very little downtime in between (despite being during the holiday season). She checked in after each interview to see how things went and to make sure I felt prepared for what was coming next. The overall turnaround was fast, and she was clear and thorough when explaining the role, expectations, and hiring process. What stood out most was how responsive and genuinely invested she was in helping me land the job. I would absolutely recommend working with Faith if you are looking for a recruiter who is proactive and communicative.

We have worked with the team at SEOforhire for many years now and we’ve always found their dedication, support, and results to be excellent.

Any time we are on boarding new talent, Josh and his team makes the entire experience seamless without the headaches I used to associate with this process.

I had a great experience working with SEO for Hire as a candidate. Daris was great and very communicative, which I appreciate during a job application process. He provided the details I needed about the job and kept in touch during each step to see if I had any questions. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience working with Faith! She found me on LinkedIn and I was very excited about the role, it was a great fit. She kept me informed throughout the process and things moved quickly and efficiently. I’m super happy in my new position thanks to Faith!

Very effective process from opening conversation to completion. Josh and his team understood our business and our requirements quickly and clearly. SEO for hire worked transparently to help us on board a great Team member to help TRC with our growth plans.

Josh, Daris and the team are true professionals. As a small business, I have previously hired in-house staff, but I felt that the next hire was too important to take a chance on. I’m really happy that I made that decision. They helped me find someone who wasn’t actively on the job market, so I would never have found them on my own. Great customer service too as they allowed some flexibility according to our business needs. The 1-year guarantee was the icing on the cake. Would happily recommend

Josh and the team have a very strong approach to talent attraction, which helped us to find opportunities who weren’t necessarily actively looking at job ads.

The candidates stood out and we quickly interviewed people who felt a level above, which led to a successful offer for an important role.

The team at SEO for Hire is incredibly professional, communicative, and thorough at helping to connect the right people with the right roles. On the employer side, it could not have been an easier and more seamless process. It saved me and our team a lot of hours combing through candidates who aren’t a good fit for the role, so that I was meeting with highly-qualified candidates and able to make an offer much more quickly.

Daris is hands down the best recruiter I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He was professional, responsive, understanding, and worked hard to get me placed with great company at the salary I was seeking. He even helped in negotiations with the company I was applying for! Would absolutely recommend Daris and SEO For Hire to anyone in the field.

Search For Hire combined the rigor of great search firms with access to an exceptional talent pool in our target vertical. This is a very rare combination, making SFH a leader in this space.

A big shout out to Daris, who took the time and energy into proactively connecting me with an amazing SEO Company that was not on my radar at the time. He is amazing at what he does! Thanks again!

Best experience! Clear process, quick communication, and great candidates who really matched our feedback. We closed a tough hire in just a month. Super grateful and excited to work together again!

Hired a great in-house SEO guy – SEOforhire team were very good and found some excellent candidates for us.

Jay negotiated my contract on my behalf and everyone was happy.
I was hired by the company and I absolutely love my job. I love my CEO. I love everything I’m doing.
The folks at SEOforHire are absolutely amazing.
Great at communication, absolutely made me feel great about my skills so I went into my interviews with all this confidence I’d never had before.
I won’t get too onto personal detail but Jay and SEOforHire changed my life as well as my sons’ lives. I have 2 boys going to college and without what Jay did for me, there’s no way I’d be able to help my sons with clothes and food.
I’m forever grateful.

Over a few weeks Daris was very helpful, had great and quick communication, and helped put me in front of a few different roles until I found a role that was a great fit.

Daris and the team at SEO for Hire were perfect from the very start, to end of the process, and made it a much easier and less stressful process.

I also spoke with the CEO who seems to be building something great here. If you’re an SEO agency looking to fill a position with top talent, I highly recommend using this service to make the process much easier and with a result everyone is extremely happy with. Absolutely no complaints, thank you!

I cannot thank Josh and the team enough. Twice now they have delivered great candidates in a very short space of time. As a pure SEO agency we really struggled to find people who actually knew SEO and weren’t just general marketeers. Josh and his team took the time to find out what we need but they also know the industry so understand the types of roles that need to be filled. We have now filled 2 roles and will hopefully be working with the SEOforhire team for many more in the future. Great service, great people…what more can I say?

Finding SEO Specialists isn’t an easy task, especially when you need the help ‘yesterday.’ We’ve been so impressed with the level of responsiveness that Josh and his team have shown in working with us. The proof is in the pudding! We’ve been able to hire two SEO specialists in a relatively short time! I am happy to recommend SEOforhire, and we look forward to working with them again in the future.

Massive thank you to Seoforhire for helping us to find a great employee! Historically, we’ve found the SEO market a really tough one to recruit in, but with the help of Daris and Josh, we’ve finally found a partner that we’d use again in a heartbeat. Thanks guys, good work!

Josh and Daris are great to work with. The candidates were top quality, so all I had to do was focus on the right fit and not technical proficiency. Found two great people to join the team!

From the first contact to the actual contract, Daris was amazing. It was a masterclass on how recruitment should work. Daris helped me throughout the interview stage and kept me in the loop every step of the way. I couldn’t be more grateful; thanks Daris, and thanks Seoforhire.

Can’t thank Daris enough! Landed me a great position and was really helpful through the application and interview process, answered all my questions and let me know what to expect.

Daris and the team helped me secure a new role swiftly.

Their communication is excellent, always keeping me up to date and going the extra mile!

A pleasure to deal with.

Would recommend!

I had a great experience with SEOforhire. I was contacted with a great opportunity as a Senior SEO Specialist and helped through the interview process. Excited to start my new role in a couple of weeks. Thank you!

I recently spoke with Daris and he helped me secure a new role with such ease. He was super responsive and helped build the relationship with my new workplace. Would recommend if you are looking for an SEO role.

Thanks to SEOforHire, we found a great SEO Manager that has filled a hole in our team’s structure.

SEO for Hire has been great to work with! Communication is top notch and they are wonderful people as well. Turn around time is fast and they are very organized. Looking forward to working with them again in the future.

They helped us find suitable candidates quickly, leading to us finding the perfect fit for the company.

Very fast hiring process, got well vetted candidates over to us quickly, very happy with the team and our hire

I worked with Daris at SEO for Hire as he helped to find me SEO roles and set me up with interviews.

Unlike many recruiters who seem detached and indifferent towards candidates and their desired roles, Daris stood out by showing genuine care and interest in my career aspirations. This showed with other team members such as Craig who had independently messaged me on Linkedin offering support.

Right from the beginning, Daris asked all the right questions to understand what I was looking for, ensuring that he only contacted me when he believed a role would be a perfect fit for my needs. This personalized approach made me feel valued and supported throughout the entire job search process.

One of the aspects I appreciated most about working with Daris was his friendly and down-to-earth nature which you can tell runs throughout all the team members.

While Daris provided valuable advice on various roles, he also managed to create a comfortable and enjoyable environment during our conversations. We could have professional discussions and also share a laugh, which made the entire experience more pleasant and less stressful.

What stood out to me from SEO for Hire the most was their ability to connect you to A-Players within the SEO industry. They had a wealth of connections, Daris would often get me in the pipeline for job opportunities even before they were advertised. He’d also let me know of roles coming up often weeks in advance.

Outside of direct recruitment, the team at SEO for Hire also provided a regular flow of genuinely valuable content on social media which helped to provide me much more clarity on my job search and making it much more straightforward.

SEO for Hire was brilliant from start to finish, I am immensely grateful of Daris and the rest of the teams assistance. I’d highly recommend SEO for Hire to any SEOs seeking a reliable and personable recruiters who go above and beyond to help candidates find their ideal roles.

SFH are setting the pace for SEO recruitment and are industry-leaders in SEO recruitment, period.

For clients, they’re heavily invested in the industry – setting up events, networking and bringing together the community to dig out even the hardest-to-find SEOs. With a premium-vetting process, this means they can segment SEOs based on their abilities and recommend them to clients, in line with their requirements. This means that clients get the best-level of talent for their needs, vetted by SEO pros.

For SEOs, their extensive network means they’re also chatting to agencies and developing partnerships constantly – meaning, they’ll tell you about an opportunity before anyone else. Because they’re so dialled in, they know exactly what SEOs need and want – meaning you’ll find that salary and the job you’ve been dreaming of, with the chance to springboard your career with their backing.

A big thank you to Josh, Craig and their incredible team for helping me land a great job – and for being a genuine bunch of kind and hard-working professionals.

Hiring has historically been a huge time commitment for our leadership, from development of job descriptions to posted on various websites, culling through resumes, multiple rounds of interviews, etc. But working with SEO for Hire expedited the process tenfold as they brought extremely qualified, already-vetted candidates right to us from the start. It cut out interview process down in half, eliminating the need for extra rounds due to the candidates already been vetted. It was actually our hardest decision for hiring since all candidates were so competitive and top-talent. We’ll definitely be working with them again.

Gorilla Marketing have used other recruiters in the past to find staff – and while the service and **eventual** candidate have always been amazing – it’s been so refreshing having an actual SEO do the recruiting for us. Josh grasped the niche skillset I was looking for right away, one week later I got sent one CV that ticked every box – and most importantly – the candidate was a great fit culturally. I was promised more in the coming days after a more thorough screening process of a shortlist he was dealing with – but it got hit out of the park first time. A job offer was made to the candidate during the interview – the first time we’ve ever done that as an agency. I could not recommend them enough – worth every penny.

I had specific criteria that i was looking for in my next contract and Josh was able to pretty much match me with exactly what i was looking for. SEO for Hire 100% delivered the quality position within a great company that i was looking for and it all happened so quickly. From my initial contact with Josh on LinkedIn, to signing my new contract took 3 weeks! Really great experience and would highly recommend to any SEO specialist.

He kept me updated on the entire process and I always had excellent communication from him.

His team is extremely helpful and easy to work with.

I would definitely recommend Josh and SEO for Hire – these guys don’t play games.

Josh and the team at SEO for Hire found a great candidate to make an international move to an SEO agency in the APAC region. Good communication from the team and good quality candidates.

Josh and the team did a fantastic job finding a perfect fit for our SEO manager role. SEO for Hire were efficient, communicative and friendly. They really know their industry and make a huge effort to find an SEO expert fit your teams &company needs. Well done guys and thank you.

Recently started to look for a job and found my new position through SEO for hire.

The process was very efficient and quick and I am pleased to say that in less than a few weeks I had already secured a new role.

Quite an amazing feat under such difficult economic conditions.

Josh was very supportive throughout the whole process and gave me plenty of feedback. I’d recommend 100% if you are looking for a new SEO role.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Josh during my recent job search for a Director of SEO / Head of type role and after a long search due to these challenging times we’re living in (with several up and downs), I have now secured an awesome SEO role!

Thank you Josh for making this happen!

Josh will certainly help any SEO out there in need, highly recommended!

Great service for Agency owners.

Josh and his team helped take the tedious parts of recruitment such as the initial screening of hundreds of CVs and are able to match top-tier talent for our company’s needs.

Very proactive service and helped me as a small Agency owner save a lot of time with the hiring process.

Josh is really good at what he does. He gets SEO, and he knows what a good fit is!

Would use him and be a candidate for him anytime

Josh was great to work with, very responsive and we were able to go ahead with applicants he sent through. Josh understood the business needs and was able to find as suitable applicants!

Josh has quickly built trust with us as a partner in finding candidates for our growing team. He is very responsive and great at finding talent. I am looking forward to working with him more.

I’ve always struggled with finding recruiters with solid SEO experience, especially in link building. But Josh has been incredible, no other recruitment consultant can compare!

I would highly recommend Josh

We made an incredible hire for our company in less than a month. Josh and his team brought some great candidates to the table and held our hand through the process the whole way. They made hiring our first full time SEO as easy as possible

Josh and Daris were both superb from the very start- really helpful and efficient with organising candidates and arranging interviews- the quality of the candidates were also very impressive. I felt like they really understood what we were looking for in a team member which was refreshing!

SEO for Hire were great because, unlike any other recruitment agency, they focus purely on SEO recruitment and put the candidates through testing before recommending them to you. Really pleased with the process and will definitely be using them again.

Despite not accepting the job offered, Josh was a pleasure to work with through the whole process, listening to what I was looking for, what my ideal scenarios would be and just generally being great at what he does.
I will definitely go to him again in future for any digital marketing job opportunities.

As a candidate, it can be tough to find recruiters that really listen to you and help to make the process as smooth as possible. Highly recommend SEO for Hire – Josh was a pleasure to work with and wouldn’t hesitate to go to them in the future. A gem in the recruitment sector!

A fresh approach to recruiting in a competitive industry. The one noticeable point is the team have previously worked in the SEO industry so understood our needs

His exceptional experience and deep knowledge of the SEO community bring valuable insights to the table, helping me enhance my coaching program as a Mindset Coach for SEOs. We would need more people in the SEO market, such as Josh. Thank you.
