Digital Recruitment
We recruit for roles in every aspect of Digital, from marketing to media and analytics to acquisition.
We know how to get candidates into digital marketing roles and why digital marketing is so important for clients. In the past, we’ve recruited at the beginning of digital marketing trends like social media and programmatic or account management jobs, as well as what is now traditional search engine marketing using PPC and SEO. Now we’re recruiting into the latest roles in the sector, around data, automation, and artificial intelligence.
Our directors are from a Digital Marketing background, having left jobs in the industry to join The Candidate to identify and recruit the best candidates. Our knowledge allows us to offer our clients and candidates a knowledgeable, informed consultative service, whether that’s through standard contingency recruitment, contract and freelance recruitment, or executive search.
Our deep experience means we understand your digital marketing recruitment requirements and help you create the best brief to attract the best candidates. We’ll not only look at the candidate’s experience and their impact in previous roles, but we’ll also take a close look at candidate’s skills and how these can be beneficial to your business. Only by undertaking a full assessment of the candidate by experienced consultants can you recruit with confidence, for employees that will last in your business in digital marketing.
