Our recruiters started working with this fast-growing fashion brand in the summer of 2024. The business had just hired a new Chief Operating Officer (COO) to continue their growth journey.
The COO wanted to explore how different marketing skill sets could support further growth. Ultimately, our team of consultants supported them in identifying the need for a Marketing Manager and Graphic Designer.
Founded in 2005, this pioneering streetwear brand emerged from the heart of London's creative scene. With bold designs, it has become a defining name in contemporary fashion.
Having brought on a new COO to lead their next stage of growth, the brand took this opportunity to assess their successes and learnings. They identified marketing as an area of opportunity but needed support from a recruitment consultant to understand the different skills available to them. That's where Director, Michael Judkins, came in.
Michael met the COO to understand the brand, their challenges and vision for the future. In return, he was able to offer insight into the current state of the recruitment market.
Together, they agreed that the brand needed to hire a new Marketing Manager and a Graphic Designer. From there, they decided upon the right candidate profile for each role. Both had specific criteria that required detailed searches for. As a growing brand with an entrepreneurial spirit, it was important that we were able to screen against these criteria and find candidates with experience within the same sector.
Michael ensured that each search was handled by experts in retail marketing (Victoria Stokes) and digital design recruitment (Yasmin Vachet). To identify excellent candidates, the team mapped the market of relevant brands and worked through their networks of marketers and designers.
In their weekly catch-up calls, Yasmin and Victoria presented their findings, feedback from the market and interested candidates. This was also an excellent opportunity for the internal hiring team to give their feedback on candidates and interviews.
When delays occurred due to holidays and limited availability, our recruiters maintained consistent communication with candidates in process. This ensured that all parties involved were always clear on progress.
Thanks to our recruiters' management of this recruitment process, the client was able to hire the preferred candidate for each role. These individuals are going to supprt the brand in their journey. We look forward to supporting their further growth in digital marketing.
I was introduced to 3Search via a mutual contact who has worked with them previously and recommended them. We had several hires in the Ecom, Digital and Marketing function we wanted to make as we looked to expand the team and so I wanted to find a partner who could assist across them all. With a very unique set of hiring requirements, we were impressed to have a variety of candidate options presented to us, and that Yasmin and Victoria were able to manage the process seamlessly over a longer timescale than anyone had anticipated. There was excellent communication throughout and we’re delighted to be welcoming two fantastic candidates to the team & business. Having a regular contact in Michael to manage the process helped ensure that things ran smoothly, and I look forward to working with the 3Search team on future hires.

I can’t recommend Yasmin enough. She was absolutely amazing in helping me secure my next role. On the day of my interview, I found out that my sister had passed away, and though I went through with the interview, Yasmin only learned about my loss afterward. From that point on, she offered incredible support, prioritising my mental health while still ensuring I was in the best position to succeed. Yasmin genuinely had my best interests at heart, balancing empathy with professionalism at every step. Her dedication, compassion, and unwavering support made all the difference during a difficult time, and I am forever grateful. If you’re looking for a recruiter who goes above and beyond, Yasmin is truly exceptional.Graphic Designer
