Content Writer Staffing
Writers Who Research First and Write in Your Voice
Anyone can produce words now. What is harder to find is a writer who understands your buyer, does the research, matches the search intent behind a topic and still sounds like your brand rather than everyone else's. Zilo AI helps marketing heads, founders and HR teams across India hire content writers and SEO content strategists for blogs, landing pages, website copy, case studies, newsletters and product content.
We offer contract content writer staffing in India for a site relaunch, a content backlog or a campaign, contract-to-hire when you want to see a few published pieces before making an offer, and permanent hiring for the writers who will carry your brand voice. You share your audience, your topics and examples of writing you like, and we screen candidates against that.
Screened on Writing Samples
We read what candidates have published, checking research, structure, clarity and editing, rather than relying on a list of topics on a CV.
SEO Writing That Ranks
Writers who work from keyword research and content briefs, and strategists who can show ranking pages and Search Console data from their own work.
Contract Staffing Ready
Add writing capacity on contract for a relaunch or content push, then convert the writers whose voice fits your brand.
B2B and Technical Content
Writers who can interview your subject experts and turn technical or industry detail into case studies and long-form pieces buyers read.
Roles We Fill
Content Roles We Fill
From a single blog writer to an SEO content strategist who plans the editorial calendar, each candidate is screened against your audience, your topics and the standard you publish to.
SEO Specialist / Content Strategist
Builds organic growth through keyword research, content briefs, on-page and technical SEO fixes and link acquisition, then plans topic clusters and editorial calendars that match real search intent.
Content Writer
Writes clear, well-researched blogs, landing pages, website copy, case studies, newsletters and product content in your brand voice, optimized for search and edited to a consistent standard.
For Recruiters & Hiring Managers
How to Hire a Content Writer Worth Publishing
Most content hiring leans too heavily on portfolios. A polished sample may have been rewritten by an editor, and it rarely shows how the writer handles your subject, your audience or a brief they disagree with. Use this checklist to define the role and test it properly, whether you hire with Zilo AI or on your own.
Writing the job post? Start from our Content Writer Job Description, a template you can copy and edit.
Interview questions worth asking
- Show me a piece you are proud of. What did the first draft look like and what changed in editing?
- How do you research a topic you know nothing about before you start writing?
- Take this keyword. Who is searching for it and what do they want from the page?
- How do you write for search without the piece reading as if it was written for a search engine?
- Tell me about a time an editor or client rejected your draft. What did you do next?
- How do you interview a subject expert who is short on time?
Decide What the Writer Will Produce
Blogs, landing pages, product copy, case studies and newsletters need different skills. Name the main formats and the audience so you do not hire a strong blogger for a conversion copy role.
Write a Specific Job Description
State the subject area, the audience, the tools such as WordPress, Semrush or Ahrefs, who briefs and edits the work and how success is judged, for example organic traffic, leads or sales enablement.
Set a Short Paid Test
Give shortlisted writers a real brief on one of your topics. You see their research, structure and voice on your subject, and how well they follow a brief, which no portfolio can show.
Check SEO Understanding
Ask how they handle search intent, headings, internal links and meta descriptions. A writer who can read a content brief and Search Console data will need far less hand-holding.
Choose the Engagement Model
Use contract staffing for a relaunch or content backlog, contract-to-hire when brand voice fit is hard to judge from samples, and permanent hiring for the writers who will own your editorial calendar.
Plan Who Edits
Every writer improves with a good editor. Decide who reviews drafts, who signs off on facts and who owns the style guide before the first piece is commissioned.
