We used Spotlight when hiring a marketing lead for our e-learning business.

I would highly recommend Spotlight Recruitment to companies who want to hire great marketing and digital candidates.

CREATE ACADEMY

We recently worked with Spotlight to make a senior appointment to our Leadership Team, following an unsuccessful round of interviews. The team were great to work with, listened carefully to the needs of the business and team and were agile to respond to feedback on candidates. They found us some utterly brilliant candidates and we made a fantastic appointment to our team. Would happily work with them in the future.
