Vetted. Vetted.
And vetted again.
Every expert on the platform is carefully reviewed for real-world experience, differentiated thinking, and a track record of building successful brands.
Application &
background.
We start with the fundamentals. Every candidate submits their background and experience building real brands and companies. We look for talent with a history of doing meaningful work and driving results, not just talking about it.
1
Portfolios &
references.
Next comes an in-depth review of real sample work—portfolios, case studies, and more—to ensure the quality of work holds up to our standards. We'll also gather insights and feedback from references, so you don't have to.
2
Work &
reputation.
Once someone is accepted to The Starters, the vetting doesn't stop there. We constantly monitor responsiveness and work quality for engagements faciliated through our platform. One strike and they're out.
3
One membership.
Three ways to brilliance.
Every expert on the platform is carefully reviewed for real-world experience, creative thinking, and a track record of building things that actually work. We do the vetting so you can focus on the work.
The thinking behind brands that win.
Skip AI-generated hot takes and generic playbooks. Get direct access to the expertise category leaders have to offer through intelligence built for operators.
Counsel from people who’ve done it.
Book 1:1 sessions with experienced operators who’ve built and scaled real brands. Pressure-test your strategy and get clarity before you spend time or money on the wrong things.
Work from people who’ve built the best.
Bring in proven talent to help execute, fractionally or full-time. Work with people who think like owners and know how to turn strategy into real progress.
If you're not on The Starters, what are you doing? Their talent is exceptional, they have the best experts — get on it!
The Starters has been an incredibly helpful platform for us to find great talent for part time/consulting/project based work
@JaiDolwani is building something pretty incredible. Imagine a MarketerHire without the insane up-charge on the freelancer's fees.
Found an amazing affiliate consultant via Jai's The Starters - highly recommend checking it out!
We've hired multiple great freelancers on The Starters.
Not a sponsored post, but what @JaiDolwani is building is a serious value add.
Def check it out if your team needs a little freelance support.
I just had an amazing convo with @JaiDolwani 💪
He's building The Starters for ecommerce stores looking to hire fractional folks at a reasonable cost.
It's 5X better than both MarketerHire and Upwork.

@JaiDolwani
If @JaiDolwani ever decides to raise capital, invest.
Tried to source 2 freelancers on http://hirethestarters.com. Neither worked out.
2 days later he comes back with two new (not previously on the platform) freelancers within budget & already vetted.
He is him 🔥

Shoutout to Jai Dolwani and his platform, The Starters, for the freelance hiring help throughout the process to bring this launch to life
I've been super impressed with the level and quality of talent on the platform.
The Starters has been the ultimate growth hack for our business
Excuse my language. But I'm f***ing stocked. The talent seems unreal!
Just wanted to shoot you a note to say how grateful I am to you and The Starters. Getting access to quality, vetted candidates for projects so quickly is truly game changing.
“Super helpful to find pre-vetted talent that is qualified and can come in swinging to a business challenge without the hassle and worry of a sourcing/agency fee on a candidate that might not work out.”
“First, cost. I appreciate the transparency and competitive rates. Second, I can trust that each Starter has been vetted by a human, versus an algorithm. So much of marketing is an art that I wouldn't feel comfortable without that level of human proof. Additionally, when I need an individual or skillset that isn't currently on-platform, The Starters team will conduct a bespoke search for that person. I love the mix of self-serve and white glove.”
The ui is extremely beautiful. It not only is clean, but I can see who worked where, what value they could add, and how much time commitment I could expect from them before I ever engage.
The talent is crazy. To think that some people were untouchable and then to see them on Starters definitely has me beyond stoked for the future of talent Ill be able to hire from the Starters.
The Starters helps us access top tier talent for a young startup that may not have the funds to hire level of expertise on a full time basis.
Working with The Starters has had a massive impact on our business - we have moved faster in the past 3 months than we had in the previous 12 months.
“What I appreciate most about The Starters is its commitment to quality. As a scrappy e-commerce business, finding skilled freelancers is crucial, but it's often like finding a needle in a haystack. The Starters eliminates the guesswork by pre-vetting top-tier talent who have actual experience with successful e-commerce brands. This saves us time and instills confidence in our choices.”

Frequently asked questions
Membership is $495/month, or $295/month billed annually at $3,540/year. The annual plan saves $2,400 per year compared with paying monthly.
A single recruiter placement runs $20K+. A consulting network will bill you 2–3x what the consultant actually charges. Marketplace fees add 20–30% on top of every project.
The membership replaces all of it. One flat monthly fee for access to the network — learn, consult, and hire at each Starter's direct rate, with nothing taken off the top.
That's the only cost. The membership is the business, so the talent doesn't have to be.
None. The rate you see is the rate the Starter set, and every dollar of it goes to them. We don't add a margin, take a percentage, or mark anything up. Your membership is the only thing you pay us.
None. If you find someone great through The Starters and want to bring them on full time, take them. We won't charge you for it — even though it means losing them from the network.
Full-time hiring is available on the annual membership.
Three things.
Learn. Playbooks, Masterclasses, and frameworks from operators who've built the brands you're trying to build. New content each week.
Consult. Book free 1:1 calls with 500+ Starters who've opted in. Included in your membership at no additional cost.
Hire. Bring Starters on for project work, part time or full time, at their direct rate. No commissions, no markups, no buyout fees.
One flat monthly fee covers all three.
Depends on what you need.
For a consult call: book directly from their profile. Pick a time, add context on what you want to cover, and the call is on the calendar. Nothing else to set up.
For project work: start a project from their profile and get a contract in place — use our standard agreement or bring your own. Once you kick off, they invoice you directly from their dashboard. Pay by ACH or card.
That's most of our members in any given month.
One consult call with someone who's run the playbook you're about to attempt costs less than the membership itself — and usually saves you from a hire you didn't need.
Learn covers the rest: Masterclasses, playbooks, and in-depth analyses from operators who've built brands at your stage.
Hiring is there when you need it. It isn't the only reason to join.
Every applicant is interviewed by a senior e-commerce executive, not a recruiter.
We look at their background, portfolio, case studies, and references. Only a small fraction make it through... and that's the point — the value here isn't a big database, it's a network curated enough that we can vouch for everyone in it.
