Marketing recruitment

Marketing portfolios are easy to polish. We ask what the candidate personally did, what it cost and what it brought in, and we check that with people who worked with them.

Why these roles are hard to fill

Team work hides individual work

A campaign has many owners. We dig into what this person decided, built or ran.

Generalist or specialist

A company with one marketer needs a generalist who can plan and execute. A company with a team often needs a specialist. We help you decide.

Results need context

A 10% conversion lift means little without the budget, channel and starting point. We ask for all of it.

French for national campaigns

If you sell in Quebec, French marketing copy is not optional. We flag when a role needs a bilingual candidate.

How we screen candidates

  1. Role intake

    Channels, budget, tools (HubSpot, Google Ads, GA4), team, goals for the first year.

  2. Portfolio review

    Work samples with the candidate's actual role in each one.

  3. Results interview

    Budgets managed, results, failures and what changed after.

  4. References

    Managers and sales leaders who worked with them.

Common questions

Should we hire a marketer or use an agency?

If you need steady work across several channels, an in-house marketer often pays off. For one channel or a short project, an agency may be cheaper. We will say so.

Do you hire bilingual marketers?

Yes, when the role needs English and French.

Do you recruit marketing leaders?

Yes. Directors are handled here; VP and CMO roles go through executive search.
