Top Freelancer Talent

The Starters connects D2C brands with top-tier freelancers across marketing, creative, and tech roles. Whether you need a growth strategist, social media manager, creative director, or paid marketer, they’ve got you covered. Every freelancer goes through a rigorous 3-step vetting process: resume and application review, an industry expert interview, and sample work evaluations. This ensures only top-tier talent is available for hire.

Direct Hiring with No Fees

For $195/month, you get unlimited access to The Starters' roster with no hidden fees or commissions. Brands directly hire freelancers without middlemen, making it transparent and budget-friendly. Whether you need part-time, full-time, or project-based help, the process is simple.

The Starters stands out from other platforms like MarketerHire and Upwork by eliminating markups, fees, and slow hiring times. Unlike the broader focus of other platforms, The Starters specializes in ecommerce and offers faster hires and better-matched talent, all without the high commission fees or lengthy processes seen elsewhere.

Speed, Flexibility and Cost Savings

Hiring is quick, with the ability to connect and secure talent in under 24 hours. You can hire hourly, project-based, or full-time, giving brands the flexibility to scale their teams when needed. With savings up to 60% on hiring costs and quicker access to talent, brands like Momentous and Paravel have leveraged The Starters to scale rapidly. Other brands like Unbound Snacks leveraged The Starters to replace all of their expensive agencies with top-tier freelancers at a fraction of the cost.

Built for E-Commerce

Unlike broader freelancer platforms, The Starters focuses solely on e-commerce. Every freelancer has proven experience with top DTC brands, ensuring they’re equipped to run campaigns, boost conversions, and drive growth. The talent pool is tailor-made for digital-first businesses.
