Building a long-term global marketing function through strategic partnership

Our work with this business

This global professional services organisation is part of the Big Four, the four largest advisory and consulting firms in the world. Operating across multiple regions and service lines, the business delivers complex, high-value solutions to clients globally, requiring equally sophisticated marketing, digital and communications capabilities to support its growth.

When they have needed marketing and communications recruitment support in the UK or US, they have partnered with 3Search.

Challenge: A sustainble recruitment partnership in the US

Since 2018, the organization has partnered with 3Search to support the build-out of its marketing, digital and communications functions across multiple regions.

The challenge was not a single hire, but a sustained need to:

  • Attract and retain high-calibre marketing talent across global markets
  • Support hiring managers across different teams, functions and geographies
  • Deliver consistent quality and diversity of talent in a highly competitive market
  • Provide advisory support on evolving skill sets across the modern marketing landscape

As the partnership expanded into the US, the requirement intensified, with the business needing a trusted partner capable of delivering at scale.

Solution: Becoming a trusted recruitment partner

3Search embedded itself as a long-term recruitment partner, working closely with multiple stakeholders across the organisation.

The approach focused on:

  • Developing a deep understanding of team structures, hiring needs and business priorities
  • Advising on candidate profiles, market trends and emerging skill sets across marketing, digital and communications
  • Leveraging extensive networks to deliver diverse, high-quality talent pools across multiple disciplines

This partnership-led model ensured consistency in delivery, while allowing for flexibility across different teams and regions.

Result: Delivery at scale

Over the course of the partnership, 3Search has:

  • Supported hiring across the UK, US and Europe
  • Delivered 10+ hires into US teams alone
  • Placed talent across a broad range of roles, including:
  • Marketing leadership (Manager to Director level)
  • CRM and Marketing Operations
  • Analytics and Data
  • ABM and Demand Generation
  • UX, Content and Digital Campaigns

Each search was tailored to the specific needs of the hiring manager, while maintaining a consistent standard of quality and process.

Global GTM Marketing Director
Over the last few years, I’ve engaged Andy, Olly and the wider 3Search team on numerous vacancies within my Global function. They’ve helped on a variety of open positions from Manager level through to Director grade positions. These roles have been across the US, UK and Europe and 3Search have delivered time and time again with top marketing and digital talent. These vacancies have been across all areas of the marketing mix, including marketing leadership roles, through to CRM/Marketing Operations, Analytics, ABM, UX, Content and Digital Campaigns, to name just a few. They’ve provided genuine top-class talent from a range of sectors and always have the ability to put excellent candidates in front of me and the team, giving us access to talent that we otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to meet and interview. They listen, understand what I’m looking for and deliver, which is exactly what I need from an external supplier. I’ve already recommended 3Search to other hiring managers in my network and would have no hesitation of going back to the team when I need to hire external talent.
Global Marketing Leader
We had an outstanding experience filling a new marketing manager role with the support of Olly at 3Search. We wanted to see a diverse slate of global talent. And with the ongoing great talent churn, recruiting top talent is more competitive than ever. Olly supported us in best positioning this new marketing manager role, listening to our needs and finding a diverse pool of top candidates. We had loads of interest in the role and hired one of the professionals Olly found for us. His support goes from the initial recruiting brief to salary/benefit discussions and onboarding. Simply put from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Global Talent Marketing Director
We reached out to 3Search as we needed help with an external senior hire in the global team. I knew 3Search had done a lot with the wider Brand, Marketing and Communications team in the US so were well placed to help. We gave Olly a brief and he turned around an excellent shortlist of high-calibre candidates around quickly. From that shortlist we met with some exceptional candidates and were left with a number of options to make the eventual hire. Olly was highly consultative throughout and felt like a great extension to our internal team. I’d recommend him to other hiring managers looking to make key hires.
Global Brand Marketing & Communications Lead
I must share my exceptional experience with 3Search, both as the talent myself and as a leader hiring talent. Olly Amos has an unparalleled ability to identify candidates for whom jobs are built. His detailed assessment of skills, goals and personality delivered an incredible fit to my latest position. When building out my new team, I entrusted his guidance to bring the right talent on board, and he did it again! I had a surplus of amazing candidates from which to choose. 3Search understands the external talent acquisition process, actively listens to customer needs, and seeks out the best, most compatible professional for the role at hand. Many thanks to Olly and the team for making brilliant connections and being such communicative, honest and lovely partners.

Candidate Thought Count: 2

Hear from our successful candidates...

I had a great experience working with Olly. From the initial outreach about a new opportunity through to the end of the hiring process, he was very responsive to any questions and concerns and supportive in building the bridge between me and the hiring team. I recommend Olly to anyone looking for their next exciting role!
Global Marketing Manager
My experience with Olly at 3Search was very positive. Olly was a real professional throughout the process who had a very clear understanding of the industry, role and client he was representing. With that insight he was able to guide me through interviews and the offer process, ultimately helping me secure a great new senior leadership position. He made himself available whenever needed and kept me well-informed. I’d happily recommend Olly and 3Search to both candidates and hiring managers.
