Digital Marketing Recruitment in London

Digital talent drives most marketing hiring in London today. We place digital marketing recruitment briefs across search, social, content and performance. So we cover traditional and digital roles under one agency.

Why Marketing Recruitment in London Has Become Harder

London demand for marketing skills now outstrips supply. Since privacy changes hit tracking, brands want people who prove ROI without third-party cookies. Consequently, strong measurement and first-party data skills are scarce.

AI has also raised the bar for content and performance roles. Candidates who blend creative and technical skill rarely stay on the market long. Therefore, speed and a real network decide who you hire.

This is where established marketing recruiting firms earn their place. We map the London market, then approach people directly. For senior mandates, our executive search process runs in parallel.

Why Choose Hanson Search

We are a certified B Corp, founded in 2002, with over 23 years in the market. Our network runs past 100,000 people and 5,000+ placements. Moreover, 90% of our hires come from direct headhunting.

A senior consultant runs every search, and we work only on retained terms. We operate from London, Paris, Dubai and New York. So you gain local insight and global reach.
