Specialist recruitment for marketing agencies.

Your agency is only as strong as the people behind it. As a specialist recruitment agency for creative, digital, and marketing agencies, we’ll help you find top talent who thrive in fast-paced, client-driven environments and know how to deliver results.

THE PROBLEM

Struggling to hire the right talent for your agency?

Hiring for an agency isn’t like hiring for an in-house role. You need people who can juggle multiple clients, deliver under pressure, and keep up with an industry that never slows down.

 

Sifting through CVs, chasing candidates, and managing interviews takes time. Time that should be spent on client work, pitching, and delivering projects. When deadlines are everything, hiring delays can hold your agency back.

 

That’s where we come in. As a specialist agency recruitment partner, we help creative, digital, and marketing agencies find pre-vetted, high-performing talent who thrive in agency life so you can focus on what you do best.

Mia approached me about a year ago and asked if they could help find applicants. I immediately liked her no-nonsense approach. Instead of making a sales pitch, she tried to understand our needs and got us great candidates. Communication is quick and all stakeholders have the information they need at any given point. I recommend working with Mia & the team. Thank you!
