“I am so excited to begin my new role and I would highly recommend using clockworkTalent to find the perfect position for you”

With a vast network across the digital marketing industry, Digital Recruiters – clockworkTalent – are able to open doors for job seekers.

Yet, our industry reputation also helps us in other ways.

The testimonial below comes from a job seeker whose boss knew clockworkTalent as recruiters who really understand the digital marketing space. In fact, she’d seen us exhibiting at our co-founder’s much loved conference, brightonSEO.

Knowing clockworkTalent’s reputation for being personable, for really understanding the industry and wanting to help people make their dream career move, it was the boss of this job seeker who pointed her in the direction of our Specialist Digital Recruiters to find a new job!

‘Unusual’, I hear you say; a boss to show their own team who to speak to about getting a new job! Indeed this was unusual circumstances. This boss had spent time hiring herself a great team but an unfortunate change in business strategy meant the whole team were in for redundancy just before Christmas.
This Head of Digital Marketing was keen to see her team rapidly get the right help in securing new jobs – hence pointing them in the direction of clockworkTalent as the Digital Recruiters to speak with!
Of course I welcomed this heads-up and, as always, was pleased to be presented with a likeable, articulate and clearly intelligent digital marketer (after all the boss had hired the team to keep for herself!). This individual was still in the early phase of her career and demonstrated an abundance of potential and keenness to learn and grow in responsibility, skill and experience.

During our initial discussions, we take the time to get to know the people we are finding new jobs for so we can play to their strengths, draw on their experience and gauge which employer, team and ultimately job might “fit” each individual’s skill set and ambitions best. We often say this but it’s true – we aim for utopia and work backwards.

On this occasion, we had already started on the shortlist of interviews for a global brand in London. We were expanding the team with a “junior” digital marketer who already had the fundamentals in place and showed great aptitude for rapid career progression. This could have been written for our candidate, Skye Smith!

Once we had agreement from the hiring manager, we set about coordinating diaries and walking both parties through the series of interviews as well as delivering against a task (there is a lot of “stuff” which happens in the background to ensure a successful hire including closely managing both candidate and employer expectations and negotiations). Plus we only had a couple weeks before Christmas!

It was after 3 meetings which included presenting the task, we were pleased to share the news of the job offer to Skye. We were all thrilled when she enthusiastically accepted the job with a start date as soon as we returned from the festive break!

Such great news just before Christmas that everyone could go away on their holidays confident that come the New Year everything and everyone would fall into place. Bureau van Dijk had an awesome new member to add to their team and Skye has an exceptional career move into a fast-paced, clientside digital marketing job.

Read below what Skye had to say about clockworkTalent and the support we offered in getting her this new job:

I have used the services of different recruitment agencies in London to try and help me find the perfect Digital Marketing Executive position, but what stood out for me the most with clockworkTalent was how Natasha was so attentive and took the time to really get to know me and to identify exactly what sort of role I was looking for.

I really appreciated that Natasha contacted me everyday to update me on roles she had put me forward for, which was something I had also never experienced before with other agencies. With her added personal touch and her enthusiasm she checked in to see how I was doing during my job search and helped me to stay motivated during the process.

I had to undergo a few interviews with the company which challenged me as one of them involved a practical test, but I can definitely say that with Natasha’s support and advice I believe this was key to enabling me to do well in my interviews.

I am so excited to begin my new role and I would highly recommend using clockworkTalent to find the perfect position for you.
