01
Brief
A genuine 60–90 minute briefing conversation. We push back where the brief is wrong on salary, seniority, or scope.
For employers
Sales & Marketing recruitment
you can trust.
Marlow & Finch specialises in placing talent across Sales, Digital Marketing, Account Management, Content Marketing, Brand Management, Marketing Operations, Business Development and more. We work with employers across the UK on permanent, interim and contract roles — from graduate through to board level.
Four steps,
six to ten weeks.
The realistic timeline from initial brief to offer is eight to ten weeks for a senior role, with one to two weeks for the strongest shortlists at mid level. We will not promise faster than that.
02
Search
Mostly outbound — named candidates at named firms, approached in confidence. No mid-level roles see a registered candidate database.
03
Shortlist
Three to five candidates, each spoken to at length, each genuinely interested. Written shortlist with our notes.
04
Interview & offer
We coordinate scheduling, prep candidates, debrief after every round, and manage the offer conversation.

Our story
A few principles, held seriously.
Deep sector specialists, not generalists
Every brief is handled by a consultant with material experience in Sales & Marketing. The briefing conversation is different.
Honest pushback when it's needed
If the salary band is wrong, the seniority is wrong, or the role is harder than you think, we will say so during the briefing call.
Real shortlists, not volume
Three to five candidates, each spoken to at length, each genuinely interested. No bulk-emailed CVs.
The same consultant, start to finish
The partner who takes your brief is the partner who runs your shortlist and your offer conversation. No researcher tier, no junior handoff.
Replacement guarantees we mean
12 weeks on contingent, 26 weeks on retained. If a candidate leaves within the guarantee period for almost any reason, we re-run the search at no further fee.
Ready to talk?
The first conversation is a 30-minute call.
No follow-up unless you'd like one. We will walk through the role, the realistic timeline, and the service tier that fits — then send the engagement letter if and only if it makes sense.
