Hiring guide

What to look for in a Community Management freelancer

A strong community manager builds belonging, not just activity. Look for:

  • A genuine people-first temperament, patient and even-handed.
  • Platform fluency: Discord, Slack, Circle, or Facebook Groups.
  • A moderation philosophy: how they handle conflict and trolls.
  • Consistency and presence: they show up daily, not in bursts.
  • Examples of communities they grew, with the tactics they used.

Ask how they would respond to a heated argument between two members in your space.
