Where to find good SEO job applicants?
-
We're located in South Dakota, and I'm having a hard time getting qualified job applicants for an advanced SEO position. The ad has been placed on local job sites as well as careerbuilder.com and indeed.com. What other places do you recommend?
-
Some great information on here. What I have realized, the applicant must have agency experience. It makes on boarding and client relations going forward so much more efficient.
-
My personal recommendation is place your job at Inbound.org! The people you will find from there are already 1 step better then the one you will find at indeed and other similar websites and this is because Inbound.org is a platform for those who know the right path of digital marketing.
Linkedin could be another idea of why not look in to Moz community, shortlist the people who you think are best for you and through them an offer general... some of them might accept it.
Hope this helps!

Like Dana said, go with LinkedIn. A lot of professionals get out there to search for jobs. Besides that I would try to use your network within SEO, these people might know somebody.
-
Know that you're going to have to screen a lot of yahoos, but Craigslist is always a possibility. You could post a job on the North Pole and you would still get a couple of responses, especially if telecommuting is an option.

I would try posting on LinkedIn and possibly also on Inbound.org. As an advanced SEO, those are the two places I look at first when browsing for new opportunities. Hope that helps!

Small Business SEO Recommendations
I work for a company that manages websites for several hundred small businesses. We do a good job with on-site optimization but don't do any link building for our clients. Occasionally, clients are in desperate need of links and ask us for recommendations. I've had a tough time finding a balance between quality consultants and affordable prices. I understand that link building campaigns, in general, carry a hefty price tag, but of our clients can't afford any of the big name agencies. We've also had a few of our clients get burned recently by bad link building and I don't want to point them in the wrong direction. Does anyone have any recommendations for companies or freelance consultants that do good work without breaking the bank? Thanks! Tim

What are some good organizations an SEO company can join that are strong trust signals?
We are working on a website redesign, and want to prominently include some trust signals that help people feel comfortable with us. We're including logos of a few places we've guest posted, and also the BBB and local chamber of commerce. Do you have any other ideas on logos we can include that are good trust signals? Any associations or organizations we could join? We are a trustworthy company, we just want a way to communicate that visually, and it seems organization seals and logos are the way to go. Thanks!
