How to run the hire
1. Define the channels
Be clear on which channels and skills the role leans on.
2. Score to that mix
Weight the specific strengths your marketing needs.
3. Source and screen
Approach candidates with matching channel experience.
4. Review real work
Ask for campaigns and results, not just responsibilities.
5. Reference delivery
Confirm they delivered campaigns that worked.
Fees typically run 15-20% of first-year salary, capped and agreed upfront.
Nothing is due until your hire starts.
Usually 5-9 weeks.
The variable is how specialist the channel mix is - a niche skill set narrows the pool.
A Marketing Manager plans and delivers marketing activity - campaigns across channels, content, events and often a small team.
They turn the strategy above them into activity that builds awareness and pipeline.
The title covers digital, brand, product and general marketing, which are quite different.
We define the channels and skills your role really needs so the shortlist fits, rather than sending broad marketing CVs.
Try: Walk me through a campaign you ran and the results.
Which channels are you strongest and weakest in?
How do you measure success? and How do you prioritise a busy plan?
Yes, across B2B and B2C in technology, professional services, retail and manufacturing.
We match sector and channel where it matters.
Tell us about your role and a specialist marketing recruiter will call you. No fee until your hire starts.
