The only headhunters who already know your market
Our team address the need for a specialised hiring partner within the performance marketing industry.
Our mission is to exceed client expectations and create long-term partnerships that drive mutual growth.
Our greatest achievements come from building a loyal client base that returns for repeat business and sharing in their exceptional success stories.
CEO and Founder
I founded Search For Hire, formerly SEO For Hire and Paid Media Jobs, to replace hope-based hiring with systems. Five years and hundreds of placements later, we fill 95% of search marketing roles in under 28 days, backed by the industry’s only one-year guarantee.
Everything we do is built on evidence. I founded SalaryGuide.com, with 43,000+ verified salary submissions, so clients negotiate with real market data. I wrote Autopilot Agency, the playbook for building self-sustaining teams. And on the Agency Growth Club podcast, I’ve interviewed 150+ agency founders on how elite teams actually get built.
Whatever the size of the search, you get the same boutique, direct, evidence-first approach. That’s the promise.
Head of Recruitment
With over 100 placements delivered for agencies and brands across the US, UK, EU and Australia.
I lead every search with the same urgency and precision I’d want if it were my own team on the line.
Delivery Consultant
With over 10 years in hiring and one simple rule, I don’t mess about. If you’re hiring and want the best results, I’ll be an efficient partner but never a drain on your time. My goal is to make Search For Hire the last hiring partner you’ll ever need.
Client Success Manager
5 years in marketing for Search For Hire comes with one standard: excellence. I build the content and brand presence that puts Search For Hire in front of the right people. Every touchpoint is intentional, and every interaction a reflection of the premium service you’ll receive when you work with us.

We started as two specialist brands.
SEO For Hire, laser focused as an SEO recruitment agency. Paid Media Jobs, was dedicated towards paid media & performance marketing.
We brought them together, launching Search For Hire.
We operate exclusively in SEO, Paid Media, and Growth. That focus means we already know the roles, the market rates, and the people, before your brief lands.
Job seekers are assessed against real-world performance standards, not just a job spec. We identify leaders who deliver in practice.
We anticipate problems before they surface and bring solutions, not updates. You’ll never chase us for a status report.
Every interaction is personal, considered, and fast. We treat your hire like it’s the most important role we’ve ever worked, because to you, it is.
Proven results across specialist SEO and performance roles.
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.
