Remote Call: Creatives Needed

A remote hiring call seeks Graphic Designers, Web Designers, SEO Specialists, and Video Editors (1–4+ years experience) and explicitly requires a portfolio — the post also lists Saturday–Thursday hours and an email to apply. This is the kind of role that prioritizes demonstrable work over long CVs. (x.com)

Behance and Dribbble remain the two portfolio platforms most recruiters scan first—Behance reports a global creative community of roughly 50 million users and Dribbble publishes recruiter-facing portfolio guidance for designers. Structure portfolio projects as 3–5 short case studies that list the problem, the tactic, a timeline, and up to four measurable KPIs (engagement, CTR, reach, conversions); HubSpot’s case-study guidance and Sprout Social’s 2025 Content Benchmarks (built from 3 billion messages across 1 million profiles) both recommend showing concrete before/after metrics. ( ) Video editors should supply a 60–90 second showreel and a single-file demo in a standard codec, with shorter reels proven to retain hiring-manager attention and industry guides advising sub-three‑minute reels for recruiters and producers. ( ) SEO samples should include tracked before/after ranking positions and organic-traffic deltas pulled from Google Search Console, with public vendor case studies (for example, Semrush client stories) commonly reporting traffic lifts like an 84% organic increase as the type of KPI employers cite. ( ) When submitting work by email, use a clear subject line that includes full name and purpose (e.g., “First Last — Portfolio Submission — Role”), link to a live portfolio, and keep attached single PDFs small (aim under ~5 MB where possible) because many ATS and mail systems set per-file limits in the 5–10 MB range. ( ) For immediate updates to a portfolio, produce two short case studies (one social campaign and one short-form video), export a 60‑second showreel hosted on Vimeo/YouTube for easy embedding, and publish a lightweight web portfolio on GitHub Pages for a professional URL that recruiters can open instantly.
