Digital & eCommerce recruitment
Welcome to the anti-recruitment agency
Let's face it, you could train a chimp to run a search on a CV database, but at digital people, we don't think that cuts the mustard.
We are digital specialists who believe there is much more to being a specialist than just recruiting digital roles, and that there's no substitute for experience. We were in-house digital practitioners for almost two decades before we became recruiters. We've worked in, managed, or hired most roles we now help recruit, for brands you'll have heard of like Vodafone, Expedia & John Lewis.
We've been the candidate and the hiring manager, which gives us a deep understanding of what 'good' looks like for both parties, and a unique perspective of the industry.
Probably the most un-recruiter like recruiters you'll ever work with
It starts with a client visit, because how can we represent your business if we've never even met you? And we always meet potential candidates before we submit them because we think it's really important to understand what drives, and motivates them - we also think a candidate should know who is representing them!
Your search won't be relegated to an inexperienced junior driven by commission. Instead, your search will be handled by former industry practitioners who understand exactly what, and more importantly, who we're looking for - with a focus on creating the perfect cultural fit.
We pre-qualify candidates so you don't have to, and won't bombard you with irrelevant cv's! By the time you receive a profile, we'll have met and screened the candidate, and we'll be confident that they meet the brief. Our acid test is always, if we were recruiting this role for our own team, would we hire this candidate? If not, why on earth should we expect you to?
With average fees of 20% and low average warranties, we also understand that recruitment can feel expensive, especially if things go wrong. That's why we offer highly competitive fees, flexible payment options, and up to 12 months replacement warranty, so you can relax and hire with greater confidence.
What We Do
We specialise in helping clients identify potential candidates for senior leadership roles with a strong digital marketing, or digital transformation focus.

Contract & Interim
During periods of growth, transition or absence, we draw on our extensive network of experienced digital practitioners to help client's identify the safe pair of hands for their business, anywhere, at short notice - saving time, money & frustration.
Executive Search
Whether you've had a team exit, or you're experiencing fast growth and need people urgently, we can move quickly to help you secure the best potential candidates in the market. We'll work around the clock to help you shape the right brief, and identify the best people anywhere in the world, to the tightest of deadlines - often, where others have already tried, and failed.
Projects & Team Builds
Whether you're migrating digital services in-house, scaling, or building a new digital team from scratch - team builds can be expensive. Talk to us about how we can help with highly cost-effective team builds on a project basis.

What does transformation mean for business?
For most, ‘transformation’ may involve improving operational processes or digitising routes to market, but it almost invariably means developing people or attracting new talent.
