Hire content marketers who drive reach and revenue — not just publish blog posts.
A writing sample won't tell you if someone can plan a content strategy, choose
the right distribution channels, or tie content to business outcomes.
Use our
15-minute, scenario-based test to see how candidates think about content creation,
distribution, and performance - before you commit to interviews or a hire.
Why Test Content Marketing?
Content marketing is how modern brands build trust, generate demand, and stay
top-of-mind. But the difference between a content marketer who drives pipeline and one
who just fills a blog calendar is enormous.
The problem? Portfolios show
finished work, not strategic thinking. Heroify helps you see whether someone can plan,
create, distribute, and measure content — not just write.
Without Testing
What you risk
- Content that gets published but never reaches the right audience
- Months of effort with no measurable impact on leads or revenue
- A blog full of posts that don't rank, convert, or get shared
- Misalignment between content and actual buyer needs
With 
What you gain
- Content that attracts the right audience and moves them through the funnel
- A strategic approach to content tied to real business goals
- People who understand distribution as well as creation
- Measurable content ROI that compounds over time
When to Test for Content Marketing?
Use this test when the role requires:
- Planning and executing a content strategy aligned with business goals
- Creating content across formats — articles, email, social, video scripts
- Choosing the right channels and tactics for content distribution
- Understanding audience needs and mapping content to the buyer journey
- Measuring content performance and optimising based on data
- Collaborating with SEO, design, sales, and product teams
Rule of thumb: If "content strategy," "content creation," "editorial calendar," or "content distribution" appears in your job description, use this test.

What Does The Content Marketing Test Measure?
The Content Marketing test shows how candidates:
Develop content strategies that align with audience needs and business goals
Choose the right format, tone, and channel for different objectives
Plan distribution to maximise reach and engagement
Measure content performance and iterate based on results
Our methodology is validated by I/O psychologists and based on decades of research into cognitive assessment. Each question is designed to reveal how candidates think, not just what they know.
How It Works
We don't ask candidates to define "content marketing" or list best
practices.
Our test presents realistic content challenges where candidates
must make strategic decisions about what to create, how to distribute it, and how to
measure success - just like they would on the job.
-
Takes 10-15 minutes, not half an hour
-
Realistic work-like scenarios
-
Balanced difficulty that actually differentiates candidates
-
Scientifically validated
-
Mobile-friendly, candidates can take it anywhere
-
Benchmarking results against real candidates in similar roles
-
Cheat-resistant signals based on behaviour patterns, e.g. unusual speed or tab-switching
-
Candidates don't feel "examined". They feel challenged — in a good way
