The digital marketing hiring space is fast-paced, highly competitive recruiting environment that offers big opportunities for digital marketing candidates. Our full-cycle recruiting system is a 51 step touchpoint process from start to finish. Our engagement process starts with a discovery call to understand the needs of the role.

Once our targeted search is executive, we spend a series of 3 calls to get to know the candidates’ needs, wants, and future career interests. Once we’ve created a shortlist of qualified and fully vetted candidates, we will deliver our top 3 to 4 candidates to the digital marketing hiring manager. Once the interview process starts we work with the candidate and the hiring team to make sure communication is responsive and transparent. Once a candidate is placed, we stay in touch with the placed candidate for 2 years just to see how things are going.
Our candidate sourcing can be described in 3 words: Identify. Engage. Toolstack. Typically, the best job prospects are those who are passive. This indicates that they are not actively seeking employment. As a result, they are not surfing the Internet in search of online job postings. And because they are not viewing online job postings, we have developed a robust and 100% outbound recruiting strategy. We begin our sourcing strategy by creating a candidate persona. Once we have successfully created the candidate persona, we will then create a content strategy that will attract top talent in the cybersecurity space. Once we’ve developed our cadence we will use a number of sources to scour the web to get our message in front of the right candidates. Strategies includes searching our database, sourcing for referrals, sourcing from specific organizations, LinkedIn, Meetup, GitHub, Angel List, Dice, alumni boards, and many other specific digital marketing sites.

We’ve spent a great deal of time recruiting in the digital marketing and growth marketing space, and have had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with a number of amazing companies looking to maximize revenue without hiring more sales reps and expanding their brand. From our perspective, digital marketing is the future of revenue generation for all companies.
Digital marketing recruiters specialize in a specific market sector. Every day, our digital marketing recruiters contact a specialized set of digital marketing & growth marketing candidates. When starting a new search, our team has a pool of personally-known candidates to call immediately. The point is that specialized digital marketing recruiters sprint out of the gate more effectively than staffing firms that go back to the drawing board for each search.

Our clients trust that we have thoroughly screened the candidate over a series of multiple conversations, and that they will be worth the hiring managers time to interview.
Another benefit of using a specialized digital marketing recruiting firm is you will experience less of a “resume broker” relationship and more of a “sector expert.” We spend countless hours every day conversing with digital marketing prospects and digital marketing hiring managers, making us more “in the know” about the digital marketing space. Digital marketing recruiters can provide insight into the landscape of employment, equity, compensation, and the most recent candidate hiring and retention challenges.

Our hires range from just about anything you can imagine that a company would need when hiring digital marketing talent — including non-tech roles like Head of Digital Marketing, VP of Digital Marketing, CMO, and many more—with a niche focus in digital marketing staffing.
Our digital marketing recruiters use a series of stages to make sure we minimize candidate fall out during the recruiting cycle. Our recruiters will perform an in depth conversation where they work to uncover the needs, wants and desires of their next career move. We ask candidates specific skillset questions. If the team feels that there’s a fit then another person from our team will speak with the candidate. If the 2 nexus reps feel that there’s a good fit then we ask the candidate to complete a 4 question feedback form so we can better understand if the role is a good or great fit. Once we receive the candidates feedback then we will perform a “Lockdown” conversation where we ask a series of questions around counteroffers, interview stages, target salary expectations, and much more. If this goes well then we will submit the candidate for client review.
First, it is incredibly difficult for digital marketing hiring managers with little time to receive responses to job ads. Second, an increasing number of professionals do not respond to recruiters, particularly in the digital marketing field. They prefer to hear directly from the digital marketing manager, which brings us to the third challenge: recruitment is a full-time, highly specialized profession for which digital marketing hiring managers do not have time for.
Our digital marketing recruiting fee is 22% to 25% of the candidates first year base salary. We do our best to find a payment structure that works best for your team.
Our digital marketing recruiters are paid by the companies for which they place candidates. Your digital marketing recruiter does earn a commission if you are hired, but the commission is paid by the company that hires you. Our recruiting fee isn’t taken out of your salary, and it doesn’t lower the salary that you would be offered. Another misconception is that if you are presented by a recruiter, and another candidate is not, that you would be at a disadvantage because you have a fee associated with you getting that role. In our experience companies are seeking the best person for the job, and they are not concerned about a fee being paid at that point. In fact, candidates that work with recruiters actually tend to make more than those who job hunt alone.
