Sales & Marketing Recruitment
The qualities that translate to an impactful hire in sales or marketing have never been captured adequately in writing.
Character, perspective, humour and network, to name a few.
AI is making it harder to tell who’s actually good and which opportunities are genuinely interesting.
MRKTSEARCH addresses this with a different approach.
Isn't the same as other recruitment

The qualities that make someone impactful in a sales or marketing position are rarely those you can clearly show on a CV.
With AI making CVs and job specifications increasingly polished, it’s getting harder to tell who’s actually good, or which opportunities are actually worth considering.
MRKTSEARCH takes a different approach.
We search the market properly, speak to the right people and give clients a real understanding of who’s out there.
It means better hires, made faster.
Recruitment causes minimal disruption to day to day operations, and professionals get the chance to be understood and their experience communicated beyond what’s written on a page.
One-size-fits-all doesn't apply.
Sales and marketing professionals have never been one size fits all.
Each industry has particular ways of working that are advantageous for new hires to know.
Search, not Hope.
MRKTSEARCH uses executive-search methodology for critical sales and marketing hires at every level.

01
Search, Not Hope
No matter what area you're recruiting in, the talent pool is typically smaller than imagined, yet considerably larger than the number applying to vacancies.
Waiting for the right fit to show up is rarely the most effective strategy.
We search beyond the active market and engage on an individual basis, giving clients a real understanding of the appeal of their opportunity.
02
Specialist Expertise
Impactful hires in sales and marketing come from matching much more than experience and job titles.
Relatively intangible soft-skills such as determination, creativity and character are very important.
Years of specialist experience can't be replicated. It's what enables us to question from strong intuition to better understand these traits.
03
Designed to deliver
Traditional recruitment services can't guarantee that a process will be completed.
A search model has a higher level of control, activities happen in phases and service capacity is clear.
Clients schedule when appointments will most likely take place and schedule operations around them.
01
Minimise downtime for your most important hires
A vacancy or capability gap creates immediate knock-on effects across a business.
At best, existing employees have to divide their time to cover the missing function, or manage an outsourced relationship and its delivery. At worst, performance, customer experience and reputation begin to suffer.
Direct advertising and traditional recruitment methods depend on unpredictable reach, engagement and candidate response. A structured search can be planned against a defined process and timeline, giving the business greater control over when the role is filled.
02
Reach the talent advertising can't and traditional recruiters don't have time to
Sales and marketing professionals are often deeply embedded in their work and markets - making a move a significant decision.
Job specifications rarely address the issues that matter most: earning potential, support, remit, authority and the learning curve etc.
In person conversation is the most superior way to communicate opportunities and determine the individual talent that exists.
03
See what your talent pool looks like now and for future hires
Working with a search consultancy removes much of the uncertainty around the available talent pool.
Clients gain visibility of where relevant people are employed across the market and ease of attraction to new opportunities.
This data supports better decisions for current requirements and informs scaling strategies,
04
Deep sector experience helps support your hiring decisions
Years of specialist experience mean we often recognise the nuances of a strong fit before they are easily put into words.
Its a rare occasion where someone knowingly takes a role they wont perform in. Our specialist and thorough understanding of the markets we operate in enables more informed decision making.
