mrkt Talent · FAQ
Whether you're looking for your next role or your next great hire, here's everything you need to know about working with mrkt Talent.
Where do I start 🙂
The biggest difference is focus. Large generalist agencies place across every discipline mrkt Talent places exclusively in Marketing and Product Management. That means deeper networks, sharper candidate assessment, and a genuine understanding of what good looks like in these roles.
You also deal directly with the person who has built those networks and relationships not a junior consultant working from a database. We take on a limited number of searches at any one time specifically so we can give every client and candidate the attention they deserve. For specialist roles where culture fit and technical depth both matter, that difference shows up in the quality of the shortlist.
We offer both. A contingency arrangement means you only pay if we successfully place a candidate no upfront cost. A retained search involves a fee paid in instalments across the search process, and is typically used for senior, confidential, or business-critical roles where a thorough and dedicated search is required.
We'll recommend the right model based on your role, timeline, and requirements. Both come with the same level of care and commitment from us. For more detail, see our Terms of Business.
