Hey, what's going on? This is Tyson from previsible.io. And joining me today is Nick Leroy, founder of SCOJobs.com and also freelance consultant at Nick Leroy Consulting.com. And this week we have a special set of episodes for you. We're gonna be doing the SEO Jobs week on the Voice of Search, where SEO Jobs, Nick, and I we partnered together to put together, in my mind, probably one of the most like exhaustive SEO reports on the SEO job market. And we're gonna break down um each aspect of the report into an episode this week. And without further ado, I'm gonna bring on Nick. So Nick, uh welcome to the podcast.
Hey Tyson, thanks so much for the interview or the opportunity.
No, I mean, you had previously done in a state of SEO jobs, and I think I was massaging, kind of like playing around with the idea at the time. So we were able to kind of connect and, you know, in my mind, I feel like we're we're kind of helping carry the torch that you started last year with kind of that Q1 report, where this year, you know, we wanted to do it across like the entire kind of twenty twenty four calendar year. But maybe just to start off with the listeners, like kind of what's what's kind of your personal motivation behind doing some of these work and some of this efforts?
Yeah, so I have kind of a fun story. Well, fun now, not fun back then, but I have been doing SEO for 15 years. I was 10 years agency side, and I had lost my job at one point in time. And then the job that I got right after I lost that job due to COVID. And what this did is it put me in a position where I was obviously seeking employment, but I was stuck going to Indeed and Monster and Career Builder, all these sites that are just massive and SEO plays like not even one percent of their their efforts. So As I always tell people, go to Indeed or LinkedIn, type in SEO. And I bet you within that first page, you're gonna find jobs for like developers. And the only reason it's showing up is because there's a bullet point that says SEO, nice to know.
You know, something along those lines. So with all that, like I said, I'm very passionate about being put in a situation where you need to seek employment. And I just felt like this was a really big gap in our industry. Again, having been around for 15 years, we just don't talk about we don't talk about salary. We don't talk about what it takes to be promoted. We don't talk about going freelance because we're very tactical in the how to rank, how to drive traffic, how to convert. So long story short, that's where the opportunity to acquire the domain SEO jobs came in. And it's just been kind of a Day in, day out, you know, just a little bit of effort trying to give back. And again, if it helps just even one person kind of avoid some of the pain that I had to go through, totally worth it.
Hundred percent. And I feel like it it feels a bit serendipitous to, you know, connect with you. Like we were both kind of, you know, going in a similar direction, coming at it from different angles. And I think, you know, from our side of previsible, like personally I felt kind of the challenges in hiring for SEO where if it's an outside recruiting firm, they may not have the knowledge. Of nuance of SEO to like help find the right individuals. Internal HR teams, it was also a little bit too far removed. And so even though it's not, you know, the lion's share of the business at Previsible is something that we felt that was important to offer as like a service to kind of bridge that.
