Coburg Banks are a fantastic recruitment agency. We’ve used them time and again for perm and contract roles and they’ve never disappointed.
I am really impressed by the efficiency, knowledge and integrity of the Coburg Banks recruitment team. They always find us exceptionally good recruits. They’ve saved me so much time in recruiting the right people.
Excellent service from start to end, including refining the job descriptions to better suit the requirements of the roles. They provided advice and support throughout the process, and we had a great pool of candidates to choose from. Will certainly continue using Coburg Banks for future requirements
Coburg Banks easily outperform every other recruitment agency I have ever dealt with. They consistently deliver over and above expectations, no matter what type of role, even difficult ones.
The team at Coburg Banks made the process of hiring simple. They took time to understand what I needed and kept me informed throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend to anyone who needs to find quality staff.
We used Coburg Banks for two very specific roles. They were proactive in finding the right fit, responded well to feedback and tailored candidates accordingly and overall had a seamless experience filling these vacancies.

Got any unanswered questions?
It would be totally unnatural if you hadn’t. Here’s a few of the more common FAQs we get asked. And if you’ve got any more that we don’t answer below, get in touch and ask us.
Why shouldn't I just recruit through LinkedIn or do it in-house?
You can. But here's what usually happens: you spend weeks writing job specs, wading through CVs from people who overstate what they've actually delivered, and chasing candidates who ghost you after the first call.
Meanwhile the role sits empty, campaigns slip, and your team picks up the slack.
Marketing recruitment is what we do every day. We know exactly where your ideal hire is - including the strong passive candidates who aren't on the job boards - and how to get their attention.
We've placed marketing professionals into 247 UK companies since 2002, from Marketing Executives to CMOs.
We'll get you a shortlist in 48 hours, and you won't pay a penny unless you hire someone.
The question isn't whether you can do it yourself - it's whether the empty desk is costing you more than our fee.
What happens after I click the green button and send you my brief?
We'll get back to you within 20 minutes to have a quick chat about your role.
We'll ask a few questions to make sure we understand exactly what you need - the skills, the experience, the personality fit.
Then we get to work.
You'll typically have a shortlist of vetted, interviewed candidates within 48 hours.
No pressure, no hard sell - if you don't like what we send, there's no obligation to go further.
How do you know if a marketer is any good?
Fair question - marketing's an easy field to sound impressive in and a harder one to prove.
That's why we don't just skim CVs. We dig into what someone has genuinely owned versus sat near: the campaigns they ran, the numbers they moved, the budgets they managed, the results they can evidence.
Every candidate is interviewed before you see them, so your shortlist is people who can demonstrate they deliver - not just describe it.
I'm not sure exactly what role I need - can you help me work it out?
Absolutely, and it's one of the most useful early conversations to have.
Plenty of businesses know marketing needs to step up but aren't sure whether that's a broad all-rounder, a specialist in one channel, or a senior hire to lead it all.
Tell us what you're trying to achieve and we'll help you shape the right role before you commit to anything.
We're a small business - do you only work with big brands?
Not at all.
We work with some well-known names, but a huge amount of what we do is helping SMEs make their first, second or third marketing hire - often the person who'll build the function from scratch.
A two-person marketing team gets the same attention as a household name.
What should we be paying for the role we want to recruit?
Ask us. We see live salary data across marketing roles every week, so we can tell you what it'll realistically take to attract the person you want, in your location, before you even write the spec.
It's one of the most common things clients call us about - and there's no charge for the advice.
Do you recruit contract and freelance marketers, or just permanent?
Both. Marketing workloads come in waves - a launch, a rebrand, maternity cover, a sudden growth push - so alongside permanent hires we place interim and freelance marketers who can start quickly and hit the ground running.
How much do you charge?
It depends on the role you want us to work on and how complex it is to fill.
Get in touch with us and we'll give you a clear figure upfront before we start - no surprises, and we won't charge you any more than that amount, even if you have to offer a higher salary to secure your ideal hire.
And remember, you don't pay anything unless we find someone you actually hire.
When do I have to pay the fee?
Not until your new hire starts work. There's nothing to pay upfront, nothing on shortlist, nothing on interview.
Our fee only becomes due once the successful candidate is sat at their desk working for you.
Which locations do you cover?
The whole of the UK. We use Teams, Zoom, and FaceTime to thoroughly vet every candidate before presenting them to you, so no location is too remote.
Whether you're hiring in London, Leeds, or Llanelli - and whether the role is office-based, hybrid, or fully remote - we've got it covered.
Do we get a rebate if the candidate leaves?
Yes. We operate a replacement and rebate scheme on every placement.
If you have to dismiss a candidate within the first three months, we'll either find you a replacement or refund a proportion of the fee.
It's there to give you complete peace of mind. Give us a call and we'll walk you through exactly how it works.
What if I don't like the CVs you send me?
No problem - there's zero obligation. Sometimes we don't get it exactly right first time, and that's fine.
Just tell us what's missing or what didn't fit, and we'll go back and refine the search. We'd rather get it right than get it fast.
