I work with recruitment agencies and companies based in Kent, London and the UK. With expertise and experience in working in marketing in the recruitment industry, I can support you with marketing strategy and planning, marketing reviews, and fractional CMO support to help your recruitment firm grow.
In-depth marketing experience for recruitment consultancies
I have had the pleasure of collaborating extensively with recruitment agencies throughout my career. My experience spans from my corporate role at Capita Resourcing to numerous boutique recruitment agencies since founding my marketing consultancy. This diverse exposure, including specialised recruitment in sectors such as Barrister recruitment, Corporate Governance roles, and CEO placements in banking, has enabled me to refine and tailor marketing strategies precisely to the unique needs of each industry.
Do you ever find yourself thinking the following when it comes to your recruitment firm?
- What is our marketing approach or plan, and why do we tend to react instead of being proactive?
- How can we replicate the success of our competitors who consistently outperform us in the market?
- How do we know which marketing and business development activities are effective for our recruitment agency? What should we track?
- How can we effectively balance the importance of digital marketing with the significance of business development?
- How do we ensure that our marketing is geared towards attracting good quality employers and top-talent candidates?
- What is the best way to ensure that our marketing and business development is being implemented? Should we train in house, outsource or recruit?
- How do we ensure that our junior marketing resouces have access to an expert and can grow in confidence in their marketing ability?
- How can we manage the shifting focus of our CEO who is eager to grow the firm but frequently changes strategies and tactics?
How I can help with your recruitment agency marketing
Marketing for recruitment agencies involves a dual approach: attracting the right candidates and appealing to the right clients. These two distinct audiences require tailored marketing strategies, making it crucial to address both angles effectively.
Many recruitment agencies bring me on board to develop their marketing strategy and plan, laying a solid foundation for all subsequent marketing and business development activities. Once the strategy is in place, I often assist with its implementation. This can range from managing large transformation projects like brand refreshes to recruiting marketing personnel or mentoring marketing teams.

I create tailored marketing strategies by first understanding your agency’s unique needs and goals. This involves analysing your target market, competition, and current trends. The result is a tailored approach that enhances your brand visibility, attracts the right clients and candidates, and supports your business objectives.
If your agency is experiencing slow client growth, ineffective marketing efforts, or if your competitors are consistently outshining you, it’s probably time to rethink your marketing strategy. Other warning signs include unclear branding, low engagement, and a lack of strategic direction.
