Digital Marketing Recruiters Who Have Done the Work

Our digital marketing recruiters place senior marketing leaders from a network they have built over years, not a generic resume pile.

Our digital marketing recruiters place senior marketing leaders from a network they have built over years, not a generic resume pile

Our digital marketing recruiters have placed marketing leaders across DTC, eCommerce, B2B, SaaS, and consumer brands, from Manager to CMO.

Why teams hire our digital marketing recruiters

Operators, not resume sorters

Our digital marketing recruiters have run marketing themselves. They evaluate the craft and the numbers, not just a tidy CV.

Matched to your stage

An early-stage growth lead is not a scaled CMO. We match candidates to your stage, your channels, and your goals.

Senior search, end to end

The recruiter who scopes the role runs it, from the brief to the offer, with no junior handoff in the middle.

Why work with our digital marketing recruiters

Marketing hires fail when a recruiter screens for keywords instead of capability. The right leader for one company is the wrong leader for another. Our digital marketing recruiters reduce that risk because they have done the work and know what good looks like.

They have run marketing

Our digital marketing recruiters come from inside marketing, with operating and agency backgrounds. They read a candidate the way a hiring leader would, not the way a keyword filter does.

The whole discipline, not one channel

Digital marketing recruiters who screen for a single skill miss the leaders who can run the whole mix. We assess across growth, brand, lifecycle, content, and paid.

A curated network, not a job board

The strongest marketing leaders are rarely applying. Our recruiters reach them through relationships built over years, which is how a discreet search finds people an ad never would.

Senior attention the whole way

The recruiter you meet is the recruiter who runs the search, from the brief through the offer, with the whole collective behind them.

Start the search with a recruiter who knows marketing

A scoping call with a senior recruiter, focused on the marketing leader your stage actually needs.

What a digital marketing search covers

We scope the search to your stage, your channels, and the kind of marketing leadership you need.

Role definition the real brief: the mandate, the team, and what success looks like in the first year.
Discipline fit whether your gap is growth, brand, lifecycle, content, or paid, and who fits it.
Market mapping the marketing leaders who fit, including the ones who are not actively looking.
Outreach and assessment direct, discreet outreach, then evaluation of the marketing track record.
Reference depth a real read on whether they moved the metrics and how they led, not a polite glance.
Shortlist and interviews a tight slate of qualified marketing leaders, managed end to end.
Offer and close guidance through offer, negotiation, and start so the hire actually lands.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions for teams hiring a marketing leader.

We scope the search to the role and the stage rather than a fixed retained package, so you see the cost and the plan before the search starts. The recruiter who scopes the role is the one who runs it.

Growth, brand, lifecycle, content, and paid leadership, from Manager through Director, VP, and CMO. Our digital marketing recruiters match the candidate to the discipline and stage that drive your business.

Through relationships. The strongest marketing leaders are rarely on a job board, so our digital marketing recruiters reach them directly through a network built over years.

At many firms a partner sells and a junior runs the search. With us the senior recruiter who scopes the role is the one who runs it, and they come from inside marketing rather than from a database.

A focused search usually reaches a strong shortlist within weeks, with the full process running longer through interviews and close. We give you a timeline against your specific role.

Yes. We go deep on the marketing track record and references so you know whether a candidate moved the business, not just what their title was.

Directly. Chameleon Collective is a senior-only collective, so there is no account-management layer between you and the recruiter running your search.
