The Process
Business & Role Deep Dive
Step One
Before we even think about writing your job ad or reaching out to candidates, we get under the skin of your business. What’s your story? What makes your culture tick? We’ll uncover the traits of the people who truly thrive with you and break down exactly what the role looks like in real life, not just what’s on paper. The better we know you, the sharper (and more irresistible) our hunt for the right person will be.
Develop Ads and Messaging
Step Two
We’re recruiters, sure – but we’re marketers first. That means we craft story-led job ads and build creative outreach strategies to attract candidates who aren’t actively job hunting. We craft head-turning ads and employer brand-boosting content that speak directly to the people you actually want to hire. Every word, image, and headline is built to make your ideal candidates stop scrolling and start imagining themselves in your team.
Candidate Discovery & Attraction
Step Three
We don’t just post jobs and pray. We hunt. We tap into our network, lean on insider marketing know-how, and dig in places your competitors wouldn’t even think to look. Then we make sure those top-tier candidates can’t ignore you – crafting messages that stop the right people in their tracks. By the time you meet them, they’re not just interested – they’re already picturing themselves on your team.
Pre-Screening by Marketers
Step Four
A huge benefit of The Marketists working your role is that we’re experienced Marketers first. We know our CPL from our CTA. Your time’s too valuable to waste sifting through “almost” candidates and CV’s. We build a screening process around what you need, dig into the details, and filter out the fluff. The result? A shortlist packed with people who don’t just tick the boxes – they actually fit.
Shortlist To Start Date
Step Five
When we hand over candidates, they’re already the cream of the crop – screened for skills, experience, and culture fit. But we don’t just drop them on your desk and walk away. We stick with you from the first interview to the final handshake, guiding the process, smoothing any bumps, and making sure your new hire hits the ground running without disrupting the day-to-day.
What Our Clients Say
We loved the Marketists’ human approach – they struck the perfect balance between keeping things light and being super slick with the whole process. They maintained momentum from start to finish, and I never once felt they weren’t on it. They were always just a call or email away if we wanted to bounce around ideas or change direction.
They made the whole process feel effortless, while clearly guiding when they’d take the lead and when it was for us to step in. I’d absolutely work with them again – not just because they’re great at what they do, but because they’re genuinely nice people to work with, and that goes a long way in my book.
