Slingshot Content hires 4 writers and an editor with Workello

Slingshot Content, an SEO and content outsourcing agency, faced significant challenges in hiring and vetting qualified writers and editors at scale. Founder Alex Eckhart found that traditional methods like using freelancer platforms and personal networks resulted in a patchwork team and inconsistent quality. To solve this, they turned to the hiring platform Workello to streamline their recruitment process.

Using Workello's templates and hiring playbook for generalist writers, Slingshot Content implemented a clear job ad and a short, effective assessment task. They sourced candidates from Reddit, Facebook, and LinkedIn. This solution allowed them to efficiently vet a large pool of 174 applicants. The results were highly successful; from 55 assessments and 15 interviews, Workello enabled them to hire four solid candidates, including one who quickly advanced into an editing role.
