You don\u2019t need a formal test to spot this \u2013 just take a look at their portfolio and content examples. <\/p>\n<p>Also, a few email exchanges during the hiring process can be enough to gauge how confidently they communicate and how well they handle the written word.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-make-sure-they-know-how-to-write-for-people-not-bots\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_sure_they_know_how_to_write_for_people_not_bots\"><\/span>Make sure they know how to write for <em>people<\/em>, not bots<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Strong content writers understand a key truth.<\/p>\n<p>Search engines reward content written for people, not formulas.

Find writer or freelancer groups and spend time observing the conversations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll notice writers posting in quality groups to share their thoughts and examples of their work.

Strong writers are often well known within their communities, and peers are usually quick to point you toward people who consistently deliver real value.<\/p>\n<p>Consider asking other business owners for recommendations as well. Tapping into your peer group can surface writers who have proven themselves in real-world projects.
