Recommendations -- How can you stand out in a crowded field?
  • MENTION PAY. Include the budgeted compensation range, at the very least the base salary.
     
  • RAISE YOUR RATES. These are the competition who are struggling to find candidates, the companies that aren't struggling are paying more and filling quickly.
     
  • GO FULL-TIME. If you're looking for a professional with years of experience, is a 6-month contract really your best offer? 
     
  • BE SPECIFIC. Be specific about what you need, if necessary ask someone like me to help you refine your job description. The field attracts introverts with imposter syndrome. A poorly worded job description that asks for the moon is just asking to be dismissed.
     
  • UNDERSTAND THE FIELD. There's a lot of work involved in email marketing. Email Marketers who are also Web Developers, Copywriters or Designers are rare.  You can try to find them, or set more reasonable expectations.
     
  • SOURCE INSTEAD OF SPAM. Instead of indiscriminately sending the job to everyone, practice sourcing - identify specific people and go after them. And if they're not interested, ask them for 2-3 people they'd recommend.

The Fine Print
  • This site does not post roles under $100k/yr or $50/hr and when a range was offered, the highest number was used here for the calculations as we're in a very tight labor market and rates still lagging compared the value an email marketing professional will generate for your organization.
  • Only base salaries were used here for even comparisons. Bonuses, restricted stock and other benefits should be evaluated when choosing between two otherwise similar offers.
  • Because all these jobs have been pitched to me personally, they tend to skew towards SFMC.
  • Not all jobs are created equal.  There's a lot of similarities, but when pricing your opening, it's good to review other roles for similarities that go beyond quick averages like this.
