Project Summary
// Key Challenges
What Made This Search Different.
Immediate Start Required
One position required a candidate who could start immediately without compromising on the quality of fit to the brief.
Multi-Geography Stakeholders
Aligning timelines, decision-making and interview schedules across stakeholders in both the UK and the US added significant complexity.
// Our Approach
Targeted Search.
Managed Process.
Matchking deployed a blended approach, leveraging our candidate database and social networking alongside targeted outreach through our Powering H2H marketing network. We also provided guidance on salary adjustments as the roles evolved during the search process.
Selection was conducted over two stages - a first interview with the line manager followed by a second with the Sales Director. Throughout the process, candidates were carefully managed with timely feedback, and the client was kept informed at every step. Interviews were carried out face to face or via video call.
// The Outcome
Two Hires. One Converted
to Permanent.
Both positions were filled successfully. Matchking remained closely involved throughout the offer process and secured an increase in salary and benefits when one of the contract roles transitioned to a permanent position.

What Kronos Said.
Having worked with Matchking for many years as both a candidate and a hiring manager, the results have been exceptional. Unlike other agencies, Matchking focuses on the ongoing relationship with candidates and stands head and shoulders above the rest. The team takes time to understand the specific elements candidates need to fit into a company culture, as well as the detailed requirements of each role.
Without doubt, it is the depth and breadth of knowledge of the industry - which means they can find the right calibre for any level of seniority in marketing. Their understanding of each role and how it fits into the organisation is always spot on.
Their flexibility in how they invoice and handle contracts - not always easy in a large corporation - and their effectiveness. When two contract marketing programme managers were needed urgently, Matchking sourced strong candidates quickly and both were hired immediately, with one becoming a permanent team member. They are always my first call when I need to hire marketers.
