Hire a Top-Tier Social Media Manager Without the Stress or Guesswork
Get matched with a skilled social media manager who runs your content, builds your audience, and grows your brand from day one.
You know your brand deserves quality content. But you're stuck between posting inconsistently and spending hours doing it all yourself. Whether you want help owning a single platform or a full-time manager to run the whole show, finding the right person shouldn't feel impossible.
That's where we come in. TCA connects creators, founders, and growing brands with a social media manager who actually gets it. Someone who understands platform trends, content strategy, and how to build an audience that engages. Need a remote manager who can jump in and start delivering right away? We've got you covered. Our talent doesn't just post. They think strategically and execute consistently, so your brand shows up strong every single day.
I've spent the last 5+ years doing full-cycle recruiting for founders, startups, and C-suite teams. I handled sourcing, screening, onboarding, and long-term talent placement across dozens of high-impact roles. Now I help entrepreneurs hire world-class VAs who perform from day one.

How we vet every social media manager before you meet them
A bad hire is expensive. Our job is to make sure the person on your shortlist is already the right one.

Multiple screens built on behavioral frameworks from top headhunting. We verify past clients, real work, and where they want their career to go.
- 03
Tested on real work
Shortlisted candidates complete a paid task on real assets, so the quality is proven hands-on before you ever meet them.
- 04
Placed with guarantees
You interview and approve every finalist. Placement is guaranteed in 14 days or less, with a free replacement in the first 30 days if the fit is wrong.
