Start with the problem. Not the recruitment product.
You don’t need to know whether you need Permanent Recruitment, Retained Search, Fractional or some market intelligence before we speak.
Tell me what you’re trying to hire, what’s not working and what the business actually needs this person to change.
Then we’ll work out the right way to solve it.
Services
Four ways I can help.
Permanent Recruitment
Good people. Properly recruited.
Success-based recruitment for permanent marketing, digital, PR, communications and agency hires. I get underneath the brief, search properly and give you fewer, better candidates who are actually worth meeting.
Explore Permanent RecruitmentRetained Search
When the hire matters enough to search the market properly.
For senior, confidential, difficult or commercially important appointments where waiting for the right person to apply isn’t enough. Proper market mapping, direct approaches and deeper assessment.
Explore Retained SearchFractional
Senior experience. Without another full-time salary.
Experienced CMOs, Marketing Directors and agency leaders embedded into the business for the time you actually need them. Senior capability, just not necessarily five days a week.
Explore FractionalMarket Intelligence & Advisory
Before you recruit, make sure the brief actually stacks up.
Salary benchmarking, talent mapping, competitor intelligence and hiring advice to help you understand what you need, whether the people exist and what they’re going to cost.
Explore Market Intelligence & AdvisoryAgency-side. Client-side. UK-wide.
Manchester-led. North West-rooted. UK-wide.
Essential Resourcing has its roots in Manchester and the North West, with particularly deep experience across the marketing and agency market.
But the search doesn’t stop at the M60.
I recruit agency-side and client-side marketing talent across the UK when the brief needs it.
