Before you meet anyone

How we screen social media managers.

Every candidate is checked against the work, your tools and your hours. You only interview the people who pass.

See screened candidates
  1. The duties, not the title

    We review the social work each candidate has actually done: content calendars, publishing, community management and reporting.

  2. Their past work

    Candidates share work samples, such as accounts they’ve run, posts they’ve written and reports, so you can review them before you interview.

  3. Your social tools

    Tell us your stack and we shortlist people who have worked in it, from Meta Business Suite to Hootsuite, Sprout Social and Canva.

  4. How they write

    They post in your brand’s name and reply to your customers, so we screen written English for the role.

  5. Background and medical checks

    Every hire passes background and medical checks before day one. They’re part of the process, not an extra.

  6. Then you interview the shortlist

    You meet the candidates who pass, ask your own questions, and choose who joins your team.

One monthly fee per employee.

No placement fee. No separate hiring charges. Everything you need to get a new hire started on your team is inside the fee.

A local hire, salary plus overhead$1,375/wk
A Remote Employee$473/wk

Questions about hiring social media managers.

How hiring through Remote Employee works for this role.

They run your social channels day to day: planning the content calendar, writing captions, scheduling and publishing posts, replying to comments and messages, and reporting each month on reach and engagement.

Yes. Community management is part of the role. We screen written English for it, and your social media manager works your hours, so replies go out while your customers are online.

The ones you already use. Tell us your stack and we shortlist people who have worked in it, typically Meta Business Suite, Hootsuite or Sprout Social, Canva, and the native tools for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok.

You add them to your accounts or your scheduling tool with their own login and the permissions you choose, as you would for anyone on your team. They work on equipment we provide, and every hire passes background and medical checks before they start.

Yes, if you need it. Tell us the split and we screen for candidates who have managed paid campaigns in Meta Ads Manager or LinkedIn Campaign Manager as well as organic social.

It depends on the role, experience, and skills you’re looking for.

Once we know who you need, we’ll give you the cost upfront. There’s a one-time setup fee per employee, followed by a monthly fee. Businesses typically save 50–70% compared with hiring a similar role in the US with equivalent education, experience or other qualifications.

Remote Employee® is the legal employer. We employ your team member locally in the Philippines and take care of their payroll, taxes, contracts, and compliance. You just pay a set monthly invoice while we take care of the rest.
