Starting Your Career at WebFX: Why Entry-Level Is the Start of a Long-Term Career

Key Takeaways
  • What does “entry-level” mean at WebFX? Entry-level at WebFX means we don’t require previous agency experience, niche certifications, or years in similar roles. We hire 90% of positions at this level, focusing instead on candidates who align with our culture and demonstrate curiosity, motivation, and willingness to learn.
  • How does WebFX support entry-level hires? New hires receive structured onboarding and training, clear role expectations and progression paths, ongoing coaching from experienced team leads, and frequent direct feedback designed to accelerate improvement and skill development.
  • Why does WebFX have so many open positions? WebFX promotes almost exclusively from within, so when someone advances to senior, lead, or leadership roles, their previous position opens up for new entry-level hires, creating a continuous cycle of growth opportunities and internal advancement.
  • What qualities help someone thrive at WebFX? Successful team members are eager to learn and accept feedback, want long-term career growth rather than just a first job, take ownership of their work, care about clients and teammates, and value mentorship from people who started in similar roles.
  • How does WebFX’s promotion structure benefit employees? Since leadership typically started in entry-level positions themselves, they understand the work firsthand and provide mentorship grounded in real experience rather than theory. Promotions are earned through demonstrated consistency, ownership, and trust over time.

Scrolling through job postings can feel discouraging, especially early in your career. Many roles ask for years of experience, specialized tools, or agency backgrounds that make you wonder how anyone is supposed to get their foot in the door in the first place.

At WebFX, we take a different approach.

We hire for 90% of our roles at the entry level — not because the work is easy, but because we believe the right people can grow into exceptional careers when given the right training, coaching, and expectations.

What “entry-level” means at WebFX

When we say “entry-level,” we don’t mean “anything goes.”

We mean that we don’t require previous agency experience, niche certifications, or years in a similar role to get started. Instead, we focus on hiring people who align with our culture and mindset: People who are curious, motivated, and ready to learn.

Skills can be taught. Work ethic, accountability, and coachability matter more.

That philosophy has been part of WebFX since the beginning

How we support growth (without lowering the bar)

We don’t hire entry-level talent and expect new hires to “figure it out.” We hire entry-level talent because we’ve built systems that support real growth.

At WebFX, entry-level team members receive:

  • Structured onboarding and training
  • Clear expectations for their role and progression
  • Ongoing coaching from experienced team leads
  • Frequent, direct feedback designed to help them improve

That said, training doesn’t mean hand-holding forever. You’ll be learning fast, applying feedback often, and taking on real responsibilities that impact real clients.

If you’re eager to learn and willing to put in the effort, we’ll meet you with the tools and support to succeed.

Why growth at WebFX is real (not just promised)

One reason you’ll see so many open roles at WebFX is because we promote from within, almost exclusively.

When someone grows into a senior, lead, or leadership role, we fill their previous position with a new entry-level hire, creating opportunities for the next person ready to step in and grow.

This approach means:

  • Your coach or team lead likely started in the same role you’re in
  • Leadership understands the work because they’ve done it themselves
  • Mentorship is grounded in real experience, not theory

When someone earns a promotion at WebFX, it’s because they’ve demonstrated consistency, ownership, and trust over time. We believe those opportunities should go to the people who’ve invested in our clients and our culture.
