Got any unanswered questions?
It would be totally unnatural if you hadn’t. Here’s a few of the more common FAQs we get asked. And if you’ve got any more that we don’t answer below, get in touch and ask us.
What does a marketing recruitment agency do?
A marketing recruitment agency finds, screens, and shortlists marketing professionals on your behalf.
Instead of spending weeks writing job ads, wading through applications, and trying to assess whether someone's experience is as strong as their CV suggests, you brief us on the role and we do the heavy lifting.
We interview every candidate before you see them, so you only meet people who are genuinely right for the job - both in terms of skill set and cultural fit.
At Coburg Banks, we've been recruiting marketing professionals since 2002 - from Marketing Executives and SEO Specialists through to Heads of Marketing, Marketing Directors, and CMOs.
How long does it take to hire a marketing professional?
Marketing roles can be tricky to fill in-house, particularly when you need a specific mix of strategic thinking and hands-on execution. It's common for vacancies to stay open for 8–10 weeks or longer.
Through Coburg Banks, our average time to hire is 29 days.
We typically have a shortlist of vetted, interviewed candidates with you within a few days of receiving your brief, because we have immediate access to thousands of active and passive marketing candidates across every discipline.
Why shouldn't I just recruit through LinkedIn or do it in-house?
You can - but marketing is a broad discipline and it can be hard to tell from a CV alone whether someone can genuinely deliver results. A polished LinkedIn profile doesn't always mean a strong marketer.
We spend every day speaking to marketing professionals across the UK. We know the right questions to ask to separate the strategists from the executors, and to find people who can do both when that's what you need.
We've been recruiting marketers since 2002. We'll get you a shortlist of vetted candidates within days, and you won't pay a penny unless you hire someone.
What happens after I get in touch?
We'll get back to you within 20 minutes to have a quick chat about your role.
We'll ask about the skills and experience you need, the channels and tools they'll be working with, and the kind of person who'd thrive in your team.
Then we get to work.
You'll typically have a shortlist of vetted, interviewed candidates within a few days.No pressure, no hard sell - if you don't like what we send, there's no obligation to go further.
Which types of marketing role do you recruit for?
We cover the full spectrum of marketing disciplines. Our five key verticals are Performance Marketing (PPC, paid social, affiliate), Organic Growth (SEO, content, email, social media), Creative & UX (copywriting, design, creative direction), Analytics & Tech (marketing automation, CRO, MarTech), and C-Suite & Leadership (CMOs, Marketing Directors, digital transformation leads).
Whether you need a hands-on PPC specialist or a strategic CMO, we've recruited for it.
If your role is particularly niche, give us a call on 0121 362 2300 and we'll confirm we can help.
Do you recruit in my industry?
Almost certainly. Marketing professionals work across every sector, and we've placed marketers into hundreds of different industries - from SaaS and fintech to manufacturing, FMCG, professional services, and beyond.
Great marketers share common traits regardless of sector, and we know how to find them.
How much does a marketing recruitment agency charge?
It depends on the role. Our fees typically range between 15% and 23% of the candidate's basic salary, depending on seniority and complexity.
We'll give you a clear figure upfront before we start - no surprises, and we won't charge you any more than that amount, even if you have to offer a higher salary to secure your ideal hire.
And remember, you don't pay anything unless we find someone you actually hire.
When do I have to pay the fee?
Not until your new hire starts work. There's nothing to pay upfront, nothing on shortlist, nothing on interview.
Our fee only becomes due once the successful candidate is sat at their desk working for you.
Do we get a rebate if the candidate leaves?
Yes. We operate a replacement and rebate scheme on every placement.
If you have to dismiss a candidate within the first three months, we'll either find you a replacement or refund a proportion of the fee.
It's there to give you complete peace of mind. Give us a call and we'll walk you through exactly how it works.
What if I don't like the CVs you send me?
No problem - there's zero obligation. Sometimes we don't get it exactly right first time, and that's fine.
Just tell us what's missing or what didn't fit, and we'll go back and refine the search.
We'd rather get it right than get it fast.
