Our specialist sales and marketing recruiters began working with Clockwise to support the appointment of a Sales & Marketing Director maternity cover. Following a successful initial engagement, the relationship has developed into a long-term partnership, supporting multiple senior and mid-level hires across sales and marketing as the business grew.
Launched in 2017, Clockwise provide well-designed, contemporary private offices, shared workspaces and meeting rooms with flexible membership plans.
As the company entered its next phase of growth and two Directors went on maternity leave, Clockwise required experienced commercial leadership across sales and marketing to maintain momentum. This period marked a critical point for the business, with leadership transitions and increasing demands on its commercial function.
At a pivotal moment for Clockwise, the business faced several overlapping challenges:
The Sales & Marketing Director maternity cover was particularly critical. Clockwise needed someone with experience within the property sector and the credibility to lead during a transition period, while managing both sales and marketing functions. Failure to secure the right hire risked slowing growth and placing additional strain on the existing leadership team.
Experienced contract recruiter, Sarah Jones, partnered closely with Clockwise to deliver a streamlined and effective recruitment process. Acting as an extension of their internal team, she:
This approach allowed Clockwise to maintain pace while ensuring only well-aligned, high-quality candidates reached final stages.
Since the relationship began, we have placed seven candidates across sales and marketing, including:
More recently, we have also placed two roles with the newly appointed Chief Commercial Officer, both of which were delivered successfully and received extremely positive feedback.
These hires have strengthened Clockwise’s commercial function, supported their growth into Belgium, and provided stability during key leadership transitions.
Over the last few years, we have partnered with 3Search on Marketing & Sales hires in both perm and contract vacancies. The 3Search team have always worked quickly and efficiently, providing top talent that clearly align with our business values and ambitions. They have also passed on insight into the market which has helped us overcome any challenges with hiring along the way. We value the partnership with 3Search and will continue to use them for marketing & sales hiring in the future.
