SEO roles we recruit

When you hire an SEO, you need a recruiter who can tell good work from a good CV. Generalist recruiters struggle here: anyone can list SEO on a CV, far fewer can audit a site, plan a content strategy or explain why traffic dropped. As a specialist SEO recruiter, we test for the work itself. Every shortlisted candidate completes a role-specific task of up to 2 hours and a structured interview before you meet them.

SEO specialist

On-page, keyword research, content briefs and reporting.

Technical SEO

Crawling, indexing, site speed, structured data and migrations.

SEO manager

Owns the roadmap, the reporting and a small team or agency.

Head of SEO

Sets strategy across content, technical and links, and reports to leadership.

Content SEO and SEO writers

Briefs, writing and updating content that ranks.

Related marketing roles

PPC and paid media, content managers, digital marketers and marketing managers.

Why hire your SEO from Europe

Full-time people on your team, not a freelancer juggling ten clients.

Cost

European salaries are typically well below US equivalents for the same seniority.

Time zones

4 to 6 hours of overlap with US Eastern time, and a full working day with the UK.

English and experience

Many European SEOs already work remotely for US and UK companies and agencies.

A month, paid to Remote, Deel or Oyster if you employ through one. Separate from our fee.

EOR vs PEOโ†’

If we do not deliver 3 vetted candidates within 21 days of locking the role, your $3,250 deposit is refunded. If your hire leaves within 12 months, we replace them free. Most clients employ their hire through an employer of record such as Remote, Deel or Oyster (typically $300 to $600 a month, paid to that provider), or contract with them directly. We are a placement firm, not an EOR.

For marketing and SEO agencies

Add SEO capacity without the percentage fee.

Agencies are among the biggest hirers of SEO talent, and the hardest hit by percentage fees. A flat fee lets you add SEO specialists and account leads from Europe at a predictable cost, working agency hours on your clients, under your brand. Hire one role at a time, or brief several at once.

$6,500
Flat fee per hire. No percentage of salary, no ongoing markup.
21 days
To a shortlist of 3 vetted candidates, or your deposit back.
12 months
If your hire leaves within 12 months, we replace them free.

How much does it cost to hire an SEO through Euro Remote Talent?

A flat $6,500 per hire: $3,250 to start the search and $3,250 after your hire signs. It is never a percentage of salary.

How fast can I hire an SEO specialist?

You get a shortlist of 3 vetted candidates within 21 days, or your deposit back. Most clients make an offer in about 4 weeks.

How do you vet SEO candidates?

A person reads every application. Shortlisted candidates record a short video, complete a role-specific SEO task of up to 2 hours and take a structured interview. You see the recording, the test result and our notes.

Do you place freelance SEOs?

No. We recruit full-time remote hires who join your team. If you need a short project, a freelancer marketplace is a better fit.

Can you recruit a head of SEO or SEO director?

Yes. Senior searches use the same process and may take longer when the pool is small.

Who employs the hire?

You do, through your own entity, an employer of record or a direct contractor agreement. We find and vet the person; we do not payroll them.

Do you work with marketing agencies?

Yes. Agencies hire SEO specialists, SEO managers, content and paid media roles through us, often for several roles in a row.
