If their own domain is still just “building domain authority in a competitive market,” that tells you they’re in the early or mid game, not running the table yet. In SEO, your own site is your strongest case study, so the fact they’re still climbing suggests they understand the challenge but haven’t fully proven they can dominate tough keywords in their backyard. Would I hire them? If you’re a smaller local business and you want someone who’s in the trenches trying to grow in a tough space, maybe. If you’re expecting top tier, battle tested performance and fast wins in a competitive niche, I’d be cautious and push them to show concrete results beyond their own site before you sign anything.
