We know marketing because we've all been marketers first.

Top advertising agencies don't usually hire through job boards or postings, they primarily hire through referrals and word of mouth. These actions, not only limit the talent pool but the incestuous hiring pattern reflects the praising of bare - minimum talent ! Are there any alternatives to this ? ➡️ Start by small. Gain some #experience at a small agency firm. ➡️ Build a strong #portfolio showcasing your work and creativity. ➡️ #Network with people in the Advertising industry. #advertising #agencylife #hiring #growth #networking #marketingjobs #portfolio #careergrowth #corporate #strategy

Finding great people a challenge? If you're recruiting as you've always done and you keep getting the same results, it's time to shake things up a bit and try something new 👍 From focusing on skills over education to holding 'open house' events and upping your social media presences, here are some ideas to help you hire in a challenging market 👇 https://lnkd.in/eFrv8aDN And of course, advertising your open vacancies on LoveLocalJobs.com is always a great option 😀 Discover how we can help through our range of cost-effective advertising packages... 💜 https://lnkd.in/dxFVy8v 💜 #lovelocaljobs #recruitment #recruiting #hiring #jobboard #jobadvertising

Why don't more companies do this?? (Am I even ALLOWED to do this!?) At 222 we just had a vigorous interview process for a mid-management position and never before have I been so impressed with the level of candidates who applied for an open role. Frustratingly, we could only select one (but if I could have offered the role to 2 or 3 I would have!). These people deserve to have an awesome job they wake up to every day...so, I'm going to be their cheerleader! For any hiring managers looking for new team members with skills in creative strategy, influencer talent management, content creation and client relations then please get in touch. I'd be more-than-happy to recommend people (discreetly, obviously) who would be an asset to your agency or brand. (And I'll always try to be an advocate for great people looking for great roles!) #marketingjobs #influencermarketing #contentcreation #hiring #jobsinmarketing

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿? What if you are about to lose a new client only because you didn’t hire the right talent sooner?

 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗖𝗠𝗢? What if the marketing window is coming to an end and you still don’t have the right people to execute?

 Dreadful situations, right?

 Whether you are an ad agency or a brand... you need people who can execute and people who are not good but great at what they do. Everyone's got ideas. Execution is where most of them suck!

Can you say that you’re hiring phenomenal folk? Are you able to close positions when you need them the most? Do you regret your hires?

 So how do you find the right people? You leave that to me.

GREAT marketing talent can definitely be hard to find - especially if you’re posting a job and hoping they’ll come to you. The truth is the person you’re looking for probably already has a job and they may not even be looking for a new gig. You need to be actively searching and recruiting if you want to find the perfect fit. But we know, that takes so much time. Well, that’s where we come in! We’re experts at hunting down the marketing talent you’ve been needing. Plus, we’ve worked in marketing too so we know this crazy industry like the back of our hands. And did we mention you don’t pay a thing unless you hire a candidate we find for you? Why not see what we can do for you?

There's a perception that less senior roles should be easier to fill through advertising alone. This is completely wrong. In many cases, the opposite is true. If you 'post and pray' to find your next National Account Manager or Category Manager, good luck. Good people at this level don't even need to apply to ads at the moment. They're in such demand that they're being approached with opportunities regularly by recruiters and people in their networks. Sure, you'll get a lot of applications and who knows, you might get lucky. But quantity of ad response is a pretty lousy metric when 95% of the people applying aren't remotely close to what you're looking for and in many cases have almost zero relevant experience. If a hire is important to your business (as they all should be), tailor your hiring approach accordingly. Advertising should be one part of your strategy, but if you're not proactively engaging talent pools, utilising your network and engaging specialist recruiters where advantageous, I guarantee you're not making optimal hires. #recruitment #talentacquisition #fmcgtalent
