Autumn update
This quarter is off to a strong start for senior leadership roles, as we work on placements for Head of Digital Growth (D2C), Interim Head of Ecommerce (D2C), Head of Growth (agency), Head of Content (agency), Interim Head of Digital (leisure/travel), Group Head of Marketing (B2B SaaS), Marketing & Ecommerce Director (retail), Chief Marketing Officer (consumer services), Chief Marketing Officer (B2B), and Chief Marketing Officer (retail) roles. So, while the competition among candidates is high, we’re seeing a consistent pipeline of roles coming through.
Understandably, this level of competition has been an area of concern for candidates in recent months. The volume of new registrations and messages to the team has been significantly higher than usual. However, we hope our recent email to candidates outlining the process was both helpful and reassuring.
If you’re still looking to make your next career move, I recommend accessing guidance on our website to help you get on to the shortlists, including our recent Tips for Success article. We also regularly publish short video updates, offering honest and practical advice, on our LinkedIn company page. And, if you haven’t yet attended one of our popular networking events, regularly taking place in central London, please make sure to express your interest in attending.
If you’re hiring, we have an exceptional pool of talent ready to shortlist and interview in the weeks ahead, and we have met a sizeable number of these brilliant candidates in person at our recent events. While it’s a great time to hire, many candidates are still in multiple recruitment processes, so we’re recommending that clients continue to act quickly throughout the recruitment process.
Finally, it was an absolute pleasure to celebrate two years of our popular Q&A series at a recent dinner. We would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who has taken part in the series. Our guests have shared valuable career wisdom and insights, along with thoughts about the future of marketing and digital roles. We look forward to sharing even more of these in the months ahead.
If you feel ready to move towards the next stage in your career, or if you’re hiring for your team, please get in touch to see how we can help.
Warmest regards,
