For me, someone having experience growing their own projects is a big one (hard bonus if they were able to monetize). But generally, I look for:
- Creativity: Growth hacking often involves coming up with unconventional ideas to drive growth, so a growth hacker must be creative and willing to try new things.
- Entrepreneurial Mindset: be willing to take risks and be adaptable to changes.
- Persistence: Growth hacking involves a lot of trial and error. They should be willing to experiment with different ideas and strategies until they find what works.
- Customer focus: needs to understand customer needs and behavior. This means being able to speak with customers, analyze their feedback, and incorporate it into the growth strategy.
