Why brands choose us

Deep expertise across SEO, Paid Media, & Growth

We don’t recruit across all of marketing. We go deep in three disciplines, which means we understand the roles, know the talent pool, and can spot the difference between someone who interviews well and someone who actually delivers.

One-year guarantee on all placements

If it doesn’t work out within twelve months, based on performance, we go again. It’s the most confident guarantee in the industry, because we’re that sure of our process.

Proven success with elite digital brands

We’ve placed talent at some of the most recognised agencies and brands in the US and UK, including Rankings.io, SEMrush, and Sage. Our clients come back because the people we find actually move the needle.

Speed without compromise

The industry average to fill a role is 25 days. We aim to beat it, without cutting corners on vetting. Because a fast hire that doesn’t work out isn’t fast at all.

Confidence is built into the process

Every candidate goes through an AI-enhanced vetting process assessed against real-world performance standards, not just a job spec. By the time they reach you, the hard work is done.

– Our CEO, Josh Peacock

Hiring senior performance marketing talent is high risk and high pressure.

What if the new hire leaves the job?

Every placement is backed by our one-year guarantee. If it doesn’t work out within twelve months, we replace them, no debate, no fee. It’s the strongest guarantee in the industry and the reason our clients keep coming back.

How long will the process take?

Our average time from signed contract to offer accepted is 28 days. The industry standard is 25, we move at pace without cutting corners. The more aligned we are on brief from day one, the faster we move.

What industries do you work with?

We work exclusively with digital marketing agencies and in-house brands that have dedicated search marketing teams. Our clients range from fast-scaling US agencies to globally recognised brands, all hiring within SEO, Paid Media, or Growth.

What level of roles do you hire for?

We specialise in mid to senior-level placements, the roles where the wrong hire costs the most. Think SEO Managers, Heads of Paid Media, Directors of Growth, and everything in between. If it’s a six-figure role in search marketing, it’s our territory.

Are you growing your team?

With 95% of roles filled within 25 days, our approach is built for pace and backed by a 1 year guarantee. Get access to the systems and frameworks that power elite SFH teams.
