Head of Agency promoted to Director at The Candidate as headcount grows

Emma Burke, now Director of The Candidate, said: “With the shortfall in staff client side, many have approached agencies to fulfill their marketing briefs and agencies have been recruiting heavily. It’s the busiest I’ve experienced it in my 10 years in agency recruitment and there’s no sign of it stopping.

“Agency used to be seen as a less attractive option to more senior candidates who may have needed flexibility and more rigid working hours, however agencies have adapted to a more considered working approach, and this means that they are becoming a more attractive option.”

Brian Matthews, Co-founder of The Candidate, added: “We’re going into 2022 stronger, more experienced and offering more than ever. Our clients and candidates trust us, we get their requirements and needs in (hopefully) a post-Covid world and look forward to helping them secure the best roles and talent.”

The Candidate is sponsoring this year’s Top 75 Tech & Ecommerce Companies ranking, which will be revealed at a special event on November 18th in Manchester.
