FAQ

Administrative Support staffing, answered

Which social seat should we hire first?

Usually the Community Manager, because public replies are what your audience actually sees and the gap is most visible outside office hours. Agencies running heavy creator programs should start with the Influencer Coordinator. We will ask when your comments actually arrive before recommending an order.

Can social media roles be staffed globally?

Yes, and coverage is the reason. Comments and complaints arrive in the evening and at weekends and sit there in public until someone answers, so a team spread across timezones covers more hours than a bigger local one. This is the strongest argument for global seats anywhere in marketing.

How quickly can we get evening cover in place?

Shortlist in 10 calendar days from the discovery call, onboarding in 21 days. Both sourcing and 5-Stage Vetting run inside that window. Tell us on the call which hours are actually uncovered, because the answer is usually a different shape than adding one more full-time seat.

Will these hires work in our social tools?

Yes. Community managers and moderators work in the publishing and listening tools you already use, replying under your tone guide and your escalation rules for anything that should not be answered in public. Judgment is tested during vetting on real comment threads, including hostile ones.

Can we scale social cover around campaigns?

Yes. Fully managed global seats run month to month, so you can add cover through a campaign or a launch and release it after, with no severance exposure. US direct hires stay permanent employees on your payroll. Baseline evening and weekend cover is usually worth keeping constant.

What does evening and weekend cover cost?

Global Fully Managed from $12/hr all-inclusive, month to month. The comparison worth making is against paying domestic staff out of hours rates, or against the reputational cost of a complaint sitting in public until Monday. This is the cheapest coverage gap to close in marketing.

Who decides what gets answered publicly?

You do, through an escalation rule we agree before anyone starts. Community managers answer what is routine and route anything that could become a crisis to your brand lead. Judgment is tested during vetting on real comment threads, including hostile ones, because that is where it matters.

Can one seat cover several brands?

For agencies, yes, but with the same caution as any client facing desk: each brand needs its own tone guide and escalation path or replies start sounding like the person rather than the brand. Two or three accounts is usually the practical ceiling for public facing work.
