10 posts — sorted by relevance to our niches· 5/10 look like real hires (trust ≥50)
Graphic Design
T75R65
Part-time marketing graphic designer for ecommerce brand creating email, social, and campaign assets.
Data Analysis and AI Integration
T55R62
Build data pipeline and AI algorithm for Meta ad optimization in multifamily housing marketing.
Senior Marketing Web Developer (Contract, Hybrid)
T75R45

Meta Pixel & Google Tag Manager (GTM) Expert – Complete Tracking Audit & Ground-Up Rebuild
T72R35
Hire analytics expert to audit and rebuild Meta Pixel and GTM tracking setup.
Offline Conversion Tracking Automation Software
T22R25
Build offline conversion tracking SaaS combining CRM and accounting data via Zapier and BigQuery.
$20-40 budget for a multi-source SaaS MVP with BigQuery and Zapier integration is unrealistically low, and scope is vague despite mentioning an attachment.
LinkedIn Outreach Strategy & Setup – Dripify or Similar Tool
T25R15
Set up LinkedIn outreach automation tool and campaign sequences for B2B client acquisition.
Budget of $10–20 is unrealistically low for multi-week strategy work, tool setup, template writing, and documentation; strong red flag for ghost-client or scope underestimation.
LinkedIn Brand Manager & AI B2B Operator
T45R15
Seek LinkedIn personal brand manager and B2B outbound operator for industrial/real estate sector.
Real hiring intent with specific domain focus, but no budget stated, vague deliverables, and asks for design work outside our core—appears to seek generalist rather than specialized digital designer.
B2B ABM Specialist for CXOs
T25R8
Seeking ABM specialist to run LinkedIn ads, outreach, and cold email for consulting lead generation.
Post cuts off mid-scope, vague deliverables ('book 30-min calls'), budget $25-45/hr grossly undersized for enterprise ABM strategy work, and no mention of existing assets or timeline.
B2B SaaS Sales Specialist / Closer – Music Platform (20% Recurring Commission / Un-capped potential)
T15R5
Hire B2B SaaS sales closer for music platform commission-based role.
No design/build work requested; this is a sales hiring post disguised as a project, with uncapped commission language and no actual deliverables for a design studio.
