Ask HN: Where is a good place to hire a marketing person (Growth Hacker)?

Hello everyone,<p>I&#x27;m a company founder in early growth stages, looking to hire my first full-time marketing person.<p>I&#x27;m looking for someone who is interested in all aspects of growth: from deal sites and launch websites like Product Hunt, to analytical skills like competitor analysis to be able to identify channels of growth, to a bit of knowledge on paid Ads as well, just to name a few.<p>Ideally, this would be a general all-around marketing professional, with a great analytical mind, that can find and help the company explorer new channels of growth.<p>I suppose this type of all-round marketing professional is what we call a Growth Hacker, correct?<p>Or is for example paid ads outside of the scope of that role?<p>Let me know if I&#x27;ve misunderstood the term, and if you could point me to where I should go to hire marketing professionals?<p>I&#x27;ve tried Upwork so far, but somehow I&#x27;m not sure if it&#x27;s the best place to look.<p>Thanks everyone for sharing your experience on this, good luck everyone with your companies and enjoy the growth ride.
