To hire
AdPunch
AdPunch hired an editor, Yuri, who produces UGC ad creatives for Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, built around a hook, message and call to action.
The Problem
On Meta, Creative Is the Targeting.
Audiences are broad now. The ads that win are the ones with the right hook, angle and offer. Hire someone who runs Meta as a testing machine, not a dashboard.
01
Creative Fatigue
The same three ads run for months. Frequency climbs, CPMs rise, results fade.
02
Untested Scaling
Budgets jump overnight, the learning phase resets and the account falls apart.
03
Platform-Reported Wins
ROAS in Ads Manager doesn’t match the bank account, and nobody explains why.
The Role
What a Strong Meta Ads Specialist Owns
The work that keeps a Facebook and Instagram account profitable.
01
Campaign Structure
Account structure, audiences and budgets that leave room to test without wasting spend.
02
Creative Testing
Hooks, angles and formats tested on a schedule, with clear rules for when to kill or scale.
03
Creative Briefs
Briefs for editors and designers built from what the data says is working.
04
Pixel & Conversions API
Tracking checked so Meta optimizes for purchases and qualified leads, not clicks.
05
ROAS Reporting
Reporting reconciled against store or CRM data, not just Ads Manager.
06
Agency Delivery
For agencies: runs several client accounts and works with the creative team on every launch.

Seth
VP of Operations · Hired a developer
“The certainty and speed that HireUA helped us achieve with the recommended developer has been a night-and-day difference.”
“I used HireUA to get a social media manager/VA. They were fast, reliable, well-priced, and professional to deal with. Now I’m referring clients to them which is the ultimate sign of trust. Stop using bad agencies and work with a pro like HireUA.”
“HireUA has been a pleasure to work with. Less than a week in and I had multiple interviews lined up with some really solid candidates. Any issues that came up during the process were solved immediately by their team, allowing me to keep my focus on the business.”
“Used HireUA to hire my first employees for my company and they were absolutely fantastic. Helped pave the way for how I operate the business now. If you’re looking for extremely talented overseas employees, dont hesitate to reach of to HireUA. They make the process extremely simple and easy. They literally handle everything from sourcing, interview screening, managing, etc”
How We Screen
Tests They’ve Run. Accounts They’ve Scaled.
Anyone can launch an ad set. Ask what they learned from the last 20.
01
Define the Seat
eCommerce or lead gen? Your account or client accounts? Who makes the creative?
02
Review a Live Account
Ask what they’d pause, scale and test first, and how they’d measure it.
03
Write a Creative Brief
Give them a product and an audience. A strong specialist writes hooks and angles, not just budgets.
04
Explain the Numbers
Have them reconcile platform ROAS against real revenue in plain English.

Questions
Meta Ads Specialist Hiring FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a Facebook Ads Specialist?
Our Pricing Guide tracks Media Buyers, who manage Meta, Google, TikTok and LinkedIn, at $2,500–$4,500 a month depending on seniority. We benchmark a Meta-only specialist for each search. That’s what the person earns, not HireUA’s fee.
Meta Ads Specialist or Creative Strategist?
A Meta Ads Specialist runs the account: structure, budgets, tests and reporting. A Creative Strategist decides what the ads should say and why. Smaller teams usually hire the specialist first.
Can they make the ads too?
Some can brief and edit simple creative. For volume, pair them with a UGC or short-form Video Editor, like AdPunch and Penang Media did.
What about TikTok?
Many specialists run both, but TikTok rewards native, creator-style content. See our TikTok Ads Specialist page.
How quickly can I interview candidates?
Qualified candidates are presented within 5 days of kickoff. Total time to hire depends on how quickly you interview and decide.
How does HireUA charge?
Monthly Hire includes HireUA administering and paying the hire. Direct Hire costs 15% of annual salary, subject to a $3,000 minimum, and you employ the person directly.
