FAQs
What is marketing recruitment?
Marketing recruitment is the process of hiring professionals for roles like brand, content, and growth marketing. At 3Search, our marketing recruitment services match candidates to company goals and culture.
How much does it cost to hire a marketer?
Marketing salaries vary by business size, industry and seniority. As a guide:
- Marketing Assistant: from £25,000
- Marketing Executive: £30,000 - £40,000

For a full breakdown of salaries, see our marketing salary guide.
Should I use a marketing recruitment agency or hire directly?
Hiring directly works well for junior, high-volume or well-defined roles where you have time and an existing pipeline. A specialist agency adds most value for senior, niche or confidential hires (e.g. a CMO, Head of Marketing, or when building a brand-new function like Demand Generation). This is where speed, market insight and access to passive candidates matter more than saving on a fee.
How do I hire a Marketing Manager?
To hire a Marketing Manager, define your goals, required skills, and budget, then use a specialist recruiter like 3Search to access vetted talent and streamline interviews.
Which marketing roles do you recruit for?
3Search recruits for marketers from Manager through to C-suite. We partner with high-growth companies across the consumer, services and technology sectors to find generalist marketing talent, such as a Head of Marketing, as well as specialist skill sets in content, product marketing and CRM.
How long does marketing recruitment take?
Marketing recruitment typically takes 4-8 weeks from brief to offer, depending on seniority and market conditions.
Meeting over 2,000 marketers every year at 3Search Events and cultivating our deep relationships, we're confident that we can accelerate your hiring process. While most recruitment agencies need to search to find you talent, we're already connected to them.
Do you provide permanent and interim Marketing Recruitment?
