Hiring an Account Manager: Our Recruitment Process

Today’s episode is a must-listen if you’re an agency owner looking to hire an account manager for your agency. We’re peeling back the curtain on THE hiring process we've developed after hiring tons and tons of account managers for agencies—with insights from Adelaide, our recruiter at DOT—so you can hire with confidence.

Here’s the deal: hiring the right account manager isn’t just about filling a seat. It’s about finding someone who can own client relationships, protect your reputation, and give you back the time you need to actually scale. Adelaide breaks down why trust is the biggest hurdle (and how to overcome it), plus the seven-step hiring process DOT uses to make sure only the best of the best make it through.

✨ Spoiler alert: This isn’t a “post a job and cross your fingers” situation. Adelaide shares why agencies that plan ahead win big—and why skipping steps in hiring can cost you way more in the long run.

If you’ve been putting off hiring because it feels overwhelming, this episode will give you the clarity (and strategy!) you need to do it right. Tune in now! 🎧
