Marketing & Digital Hires That Stick.
95% fill ratio. 5-week average time to hire. 100% retained or exclusive since 2022.
Hiring the right marketer is too important to outsource to a CV broker. I work as a recruitment partner, not a supplier, which is why my clients come back and why my hires stay.
Across 20 years recruiting marketing and digital teams, from scaling agencies to global brands including Travelodge and Suzuki, I've learned that the best hires come from partnerships, not transactions.
I don't take every brief. I don't pad shortlists.
I don't disappear after offer.
After 2 decades spent recruiting marketing and digital talent, I've learned where most recruitment relationships break down, and I've built my approach to fix it.

How I work with you.
We know you have high expectations and so do we. With Next Chapter, you’ll gain a recruitment partner who brings experience, market insight and genuine care to every hire.
Discover & Define
I dig beneath the job description: your culture, your competitors, your criteria for success and your EDI priorities. You'll get a salary benchmark and a market view before I contact a candidate.
Plan & Commit
Clear sourcing strategy, agreed timelines and fixed interview windows. No surprises. Flexible pricing models including retained, exclusive and subscription recruitment depending on what works for you.
Deliver & Support
Targeted advertising, proactive search, discreet headhunting and trusted referrals through a network built over two decades. Shortlists are tight, not padded. I stay close after offer because that's when most placements quietly fall apart.
