A cro specialist is a dedicated hire. We design the role with you, then introduce three finalists. The recruitment fee is USD 2,795, charged once.

A CRO specialist writes the hypothesis, sets up the test and reports the result on a page that already has traffic. They do not declare a winner from a handful of visits.

What a cro specialist usually takes on

  • Write the hypothesis before the variant is built

  • Set up the test in the tool you already use

  • Check that the variant tracks the same goal

  • Report the result with the sample you actually got

What we look for

  • Experiment design

  • Analytics enough to read a test

  • Copy or design support for the variant

  • Patience with inconclusive tests
