Ask HN: How did you hire your best SaaS Growth Hacker?

by vfc1 on 4/7/23, 7:56 AM with 4 comments

Hi everyone, I'm looking to hire my first marketing and growth professional, for my SaaS company.

How did you find the best growth hacker that you have ever hired?

Please share any specific tips and tricks, namely where did you find them, like job boards, forums, etc.

I did not have success so far in the usual places like Upwork, etc., it seems that's not where they hang out.

I'm looking for someone with a good understanding of common SaaS early growth tactics like lifetime plans, PPC on dedicated review websites like Capterra, G2, etc. experience launching on Product Hunt, and overall a great understanding of how to grow a SaaS product on the early stages in general.

Any tips you can give on the best job boards or sites to find great growth hackers would be very helpful.

Thanks everyone, cheers.

    IMO one of the founders must be the chief growth hacker. Hiring people to delegate execution of details is easier. Curious about replies.
