The Client
Over Spotlight Recruitment’s substantial history, we have had the pleasure to work with a diverse roster of clients, with many operating within the construction and property sector. We have supported our construction clients with the recruitment of outstanding talent across marketing, design, digital, and communications roles that are key for commercial growth. One of our clients, an independent construction consultancy with offices across the UK, recently reached out to our team to assist in hiring a Marketing Executive to join their marketing team.
The Challenge
Our client was seeking an experienced Marketing Executive to assist the Head of Marketing on delivering national and local marketing strategies and campaigns. The ideal candidate would be educated to degree level and have some previous marketing experience ideally from property or construction. In terms of skillset, our client was looking for candidates with an outgoing personality and excellent communication skills, as well as knowledge of design software such as Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. The Spotlight Recruitment team were confident that our vast experience hiring for these kinds of marketing positions would help us to speedily and efficiently recruit for this role. We allocated a dedicated Account Manager who conducted rigorous research and executive search and
During this process, our team worked closely with the Managing Director in order to understand their specific business needs and gain in-depth insight into the company’s culture. We devised a bespoke recruitment campaign to attract and deliver well-suited Marketers. After the Spotlight team had performed an extensive interviewing and shortlisting process to ensure candidates were a great fit, a selection of highly relevant candidates was delivered to our client to review.
The Solution
For this client in particular, the interview process consisted of two stages of interviewing, the first being an online video call, and the second being an in-person meeting in the office. We were very pleased that from this first round of relevant candidates shared, one candidate stood out from the rest, and met all the criteria the team were looking for, so they were invited for both interview stages and were ultimately offered the role! The whole process from initial client briefing to a job offer took a matter of a few short weeks, highlighting the speed and ease that Spotlight Recruitment can provide for a seamless recruitment process. We look forward to continuing this successful, productive relationship with our client and working together for future recruitment.
