Marketing and creative recruitment for agencies and media companies

We recruit for advertising, marketing and PR agencies and media companies, including client servicing, digital marketing, creative and ad sales roles. The brief should explain the clients and work the person will own.

For marketing and creative roles, specify channels and the portfolios, reels or campaign results you want to review.
For client service or sales, define the client categories, accounts and whether the role wins or services business.

What makes hiring hard in agencies and media

Account titles hide very different jobs

In marketing agency hiring, the title Account Manager covers very different work. Some people run daily delivery on a large retainer. Others juggle several project clients and own renewals. What matters is the categories they have handled and whether they grew accounts or only serviced them, and CVs rarely say.

How we handle it: Your brief names the categories, client mix and scope the hire will own, and AI helps assess applications against it. Recruiters review profiles, hand-pick the shortlist and ask which accounts each candidate grew and which they inherited.

Media sales runs on buyer relationships

People in ad sales, sponsorship and partnership roles at media and events companies sell to brand marketers and agency media teams, often through relationships built over time. A strong seller from software or industrial sales can struggle without those contacts or a feel for how media is planned and bought, and festive peaks leave little time to ramp up.

How we handle it: We ask who the hire will sell to, the formats they will carry and the territory they cover. Recruiters look for people who have sold media, sponsorships or events to the same buyers, and AI helps assess applications against those criteria.

Portfolios show team work, not individual work

Agency creative is made by teams, so a designer's portfolio or an editor's reel often shows campaigns where they handled part of the job, and a creative director's book may lean on work others led. A team cutting short-form social video also needs different skills from a studio producing brand films or print campaigns.

How we handle it: As a creative recruitment agency, we treat authorship as part of the search. We agree the formats, software and turnaround you need before go-live, and recruiters ask each candidate what they personally made in the work they show.

What we ask agencies and media companies to put in the brief

Your client success manager (CSM) collects these before the role goes live. They set the criteria AI helps assess applications against and the questions recruiters ask candidates.

Platforms and softwareDesign and editing software for creative roles; ad, analytics and SEO platforms for digital roles; media monitoring or influencer tools for PR.
Work samples and testsWhat the shortlist should show, such as campaigns, reels or press coverage, and whether you will set a brief-based test.

Media and advertising hiring: common questions

How do you charge for media and advertising hires?

We charge a success fee, paid when your hire joins. There is no platform fee and no retainer, so nothing is billed while recruiters search, which helps agencies hiring ahead of a new account or a pitch not yet won. Any replacement terms are set out in your agreement.

Which agency and media roles do you recruit for?

Agency briefs we have worked on include Account Manager, Account Executive, Business Development Manager, PR Manager, Influencer Marketing Manager, Graphic Designer, Video Editor and Creative Director. Media and events companies brief us most often on sales roles, such as Sales Manager and Senior Sales Manager, and on marketing roles such as SEO Executive and Performance Marketing Specialist.

Which cities do you recruit agency and media talent in?

Delhi NCR brings us the most agency and media briefs, followed by Mumbai, then Bengaluru, Pune and Hyderabad, and we recruit across India on the same terms. Account and creative roles usually sit in the agency's office city, while ad sales and events roles often cover a wider territory. Tell us the region and the travel involved, so recruiters can raise it with candidates early.

How long does an advertising recruitment agency take to send profiles?

Shortlist timing depends on the brief and the available talent pool. Before go-live, your CSM agrees the brief with you, including the portfolios, reels or campaign results you expect to see, so recruiters screen for them from the start. AI helps assess applications against your brief and recruiters hand-pick the shortlist in your GoodSpace dashboard. If you plan a brief-based test, say so upfront, so it does not add a round later.

Do you work as media headhunters for senior roles?

Yes. About 1 in 8 of the roles we take on are Head, Director, VP or CXO level. That figure covers every sector we work in, not agencies alone. Creative Director is among the senior agency titles we have been briefed on. Recruiters approach people who are not actively looking, and the search can stay confidential, which matters when a departing creative or account lead is still working with your clients.

Do you also work as a PR recruitment agency?

Yes. PR Manager and Influencer Marketing Manager are among the titles agencies brief us on, and both mean different things from agency to agency. Some influencer marketing managers negotiate with creators and own delivery, while others mainly build creator lists. PR roles split between media relations and content. Your brief should say which, and recruiters ask for campaigns candidates ran end to end.
