Our partnership with global online delivery marketplace, Just Eat, began in 2023. Following a drastic uptick in marketing activity, the business needed immediate support to scale its capabilities.
Since then, we’ve partnered closely with multiple teams across the organisation, delivering high-quality marketing and communications contractors at pace. Our recruitment agency, led by Taylor Nash, has become a trusted extension of their internal talent function.
Just Eat is a leading global online food delivery marketplace, connecting consumers with over 350,000 partners across 16 countries. Operating at scale in a fast-moving, highly competitive consumer market means that their marketing, CRM and communications teams are under constant pressure to deliver.
During a period of heightened marketing activity, the business identified an urgent need for additional resource. To maintain delivery timelines and reduce pressure on permanent staff, they required experienced day-rate contractors who could start immediately and add value with minimal onboarding.
Just Eat's internal talent team was already stretched across the wider organisation, making it difficult to move quickly enough to meet immediate demand. That's were our specialist contract recruitment consultants came in.
The brief spanned multiple roles across CRM, retention and communications, including:
Each hire needed to be technically strong, highly adaptable, and comfortable stepping into complex environments with just a week of preparation. Speed was critical, but not at the expense of quality.
With urgent start dates and shifting priorities, Just Eat needed a recruitment partner who could provide real-time market insight, manage candidate availability, and deliver contractors who could operate at pace.
Taylor Nash delivered a contractor-led recruitment solution designed specifically for urgency and scale. This included:
By acting as an extension of Just Eat’s internal recruitment function, we absorbed the workload they didn’t have capacity to manage. This allowed teams to stay focused on delivery rather than resourcing challenges.
Where priorities shifted or availability changed at short notice, we responded immediately, re-engaging our network and supplying alternative options without disrupting timelines.
All eight contractor roles were successfully filled, enabling Just Eat to:
Following the success of this work, 3Search was awarded a place on Just Eat’s Preferred Supplier List, becoming one of only two preferred agencies for marketing roles out of more than 120 suppliers.
During my search for my next role, Taylor was very supportive, providing clear updates and being fully transparent throughout the process. I have since used her to hire three contractors into my team, and she has continued to work at speed with great communication, finding us excellent talent in a highly competitive market. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a new role or a business looking to work with her.
Candidate Thought Count: 1
I’ve had multiple placements through 3Search now, and every interaction has been an 11/10 experience. You never feel like just a number — quite the opposite. Taylor, in particular, sets an incredibly high bar. Her enthusiasm, expertise and support — from interview preparation to on-the-job guidance — are second to none. 3Search are my go-to agency, and I recommend them whenever I can.Senior CRM Executive
