Content writer recruiting
Hire a content writer who lives near your office. RecruitJet finds, interviews and reference-checks candidates in any state.
What does a content writer do in a small business?
- Writes website pages, blog posts, emails and social posts.
- Interviews your team and customers to turn what they know into content.
- Edits and updates existing content so it stays accurate and easy to find.
Why the right hire matters
- Visibility. Regular, useful content helps customers find you in search and AI answers.
- Trust. Clear writing answers buyer questions before a sales call.
- Leverage. One person turns what your experts know into pages, emails and posts.
What do we screen content writers for?
- Published writing samples in your industry or tone
- Comfort working to a content plan and deadlines
- References from past employers, checked before you meet them
- A commute to your office they can keep up
- Interview against your job description
- References from past employers
- Work history and dates
- A commute to your office they can keep up
- Background check, with the candidate's consent
This is recruiter screening. Your own hiring checks still apply.
What does a content writer earn?
It depends on where the job is. Three things move pay from state to state.
Cost of living
Pay tends to sit above the national average in high-cost states and metros, and below it where living costs are lower.
Local demand
Where more employers are hiring for a role than there are candidates, offers rise.
On-site, hybrid or remote
On-site roles are priced by the local market. Remote roles draw on a wider pool, which changes what candidates expect.
