Marketing hiring feels like this right now…
You post a role. Within hours you’ve got:
• 100+ applications
• 20 “great CVs”
• 5 people who actually fit the brief
• And 1 candidate you can genuinely build a team around
So what’s the difference? It’s rarely experience. It’s clarity. The strongest marketing hires usually stand out because they’ve worked on real outcomes, not just listed responsibilities.
Campaigns they can explain. Results they can show. Decisions they’ve made (and learned from). That’s what cuts through noise right now.
