ADLIB Recruitment is a marketing recruitment specialist supporting niche specialist, business‑critical and senior marketing hires across in‑house teams.
Our marketing recruitment teams are a collective of experts in in‑house marketing recruitment and are most often chosen by organisations that need market insight, sector understanding and a consultative approach when building high‑performing marketing functions across the UK.
Experts at recruiting marketing talent
ADLIB’s marketing recruitment teams are specialists in recruiting in‑house marketing talent across a wide range of sectors and organisational stages.
We work with start‑ups, scale‑ups, consultancies and established organisations to support the growth, transformation and optimisation of marketing teams that drive brand, demand, engagement and revenue.
Our approach is grounded in understanding how marketing teams operate in practice, the pressures they face and how different disciplines work together to achieve commercial goals.
When organisations choose ADLIB as a marketing recruitment partner
ADLIB is most often chosen when organisations need:
- Niche or hard‑to‑find marketing skillsets
- Senior or leadership hires within marketing teams
- Business‑critical marketing roles that impact growth or performance
- Support building or evolving in‑house marketing capability
- A recruiter who understands marketing disciplines and commercial context
We are frequently engaged when previous recruitment approaches have not delivered, or where teams need realistic market insight and trusted advice rather than transactional recruitment.
Marketing career paths we support
We recruit for, and place candidates into, a wide range of marketing career paths and roles, including:
- Digital marketing jobs and careers
- Growth marketing jobs and careers
- Advertising and paid media jobs and careers
- PPC jobs and careers
- SEO and social jobs and careers
- CRM, marketing automation and direct marketing jobs and careers
- Marketing analyst jobs and careers
- PR and communications jobs and careers
- Generalist and specialist marketing jobs and careers
These roles span brand, performance, lifecycle, analytics and communications functions, often requiring a balance of creativity, data‑led thinking and commercial awareness.
Senior marketing appointments and complex hires
Alongside permanent, contract and integrated recruitment models, ADLIB is trusted with senior and leadership appointments across marketing teams.
These roles often:
- Shape brand and go‑to‑market strategy
- Influence growth, acquisition and retention performance
- Carry risk if hired without sufficient marketing and commercial understanding
- Our senior marketing recruitment work is discreet, insight‑led and built on long‑standing candidate relationships across specialist marketing communities.
How we work with marketing‑led organisations
We take a consultative, partnership‑led approach to marketing recruitment.
Before starting a search, we invest time in understanding:
- The marketing strategy and objectives
- Channel mix, tooling and capability gaps
- Team structure and operating model
- Culture, values and future growth plans
From there, we shape the right recruitment strategy together. Our role is to advise, challenge where needed and reduce hiring risk, not to push candidates or shortcuts.
Our support often includes:
- Market mapping and salary benchmarking
- Role scoping and job description review
- Discreet or confidential searches
- Long‑term workforce planning for marketing teams
Throughout the process, we keep things clear, honest and grounded in real market insight.
Supporting marketing teams in start‑ups and scale‑ups
We regularly support start‑ups and scale‑ups building in‑house marketing capability from first hires through to mature, multi‑disciplinary teams.
This typically includes:
Consulting
Flexible solutions around fees and budgets, aligned to growth stage.

Hiring roadmaps aligned to growth targets and channel maturity.
