When it comes to recruitment agencies, let’s face it, they can sometimes feel like they’re all cut from the same cloth. Promises of amazing candidates, deep industry knowledge, and unbeatable networks abound. But how many truly deliver?

Well, allow us to introduce you to us, Savvy Recruitment: a breath of fresh air in the media and tech hiring world. We’re a marketing, media & tech recruitment agency that’s been lovingly transforming the industry for more than a decade and we’re not just another one of those London recruitment agencies – let’s take a peek at how we work and why.

A Team of Industry Insiders

At Savvy, recruitment isn’t a job. We’ve lived and breathed digital, marketing, sales & media with direct experience working in those industries; it’s a passion for us.

“We established Savvy Recruitment to stand out from other agencies – we didn't want to be just like any other media and tech recruitment agency,” says Oliver Walker, Director. “15 years later, I'd say we've succeeded!”.

Savvy is staffed by a team of people who have walked the walk, spoken the lingo, and understand the quirks of the sectors inside out. We’ve witnessed industry shifts great and small, from new digital tech to mergers and acquisitions and changing audience demographics. We understand what your work is like on the frontline and what skills are needed to succeed in your teams.

Collaboration Over Competition

Here’s where Savvy Recruitment flips the script. Whilst many recruitment agencies rely on individual consultants to work their networks, we take a team-focused approach. It’s less of that old-fashioned, cutthroat agency vibe and more of the can-do, let’s get it done together spirit of Ernest Shackleton and his crew (minus the Antarctica bits). 

“Our team makes us Savvy! We're embedded in our industry and having the team together means we develop a real sense of belonging, and we do our very best work,” says Ellie Cree, Managing Director.

When a new job vacancy lands on in our inbox, it’s all hands on deck. The entire Savvy team dives into their collective network, giving our clients access to the widest possible talent pool. We cast the net wide and deep, playing to the diverse strengths of our team to connect the right person to each role. Forget siloed teams; our strength is in collaboration.

The Power of Being Present

While the remote work revolution has its perks, there’s something to be said for everyone in a team being in the same room. Our office-based team is right in the thick of it, combining their knowledge and expertise in real time. Need a second opinion on a candidate? Want to bounce around ideas for a tricky brief? There’s no Slack thread or Zoom call that can replace the magic of in-person brainstorming. And, with our HQ smack bang in the heart of London, we’re always ready to meet clients and candidates face to face. Video calls have their time and place, but face-to-face interaction helps us build those genuine, long-lasting relationships.

More Than Just a Marketing, Media & Tech Recruitment Agency

Now, let’s talk services. We cover roles from graduate jobs to executive level, sourcing talent for permanent, temporary or contract jobs – whatever suits your present or future needs.

Sure, we can fill roles on a contingent basis, but we’re so much more than that. We offer multiple service options for maximum flexibility. If you’re looking for something on-demand, on retainer, or a pay-as-you-go arrangement – or indeed something else – we can devise a solution that works best for your business.

In an unpredictable economy, our contract recruitment services can help you manage costs and stay agile. If a short-term hire is the solution you’re looking for, we’ve got a network of excellent freelancers to drive your projects.

"Contractors are the secret weapon of the media and tech world,” says Oliver. “They have specialised skills and the kind of flexibility that helps companies need to scale up at lightning speed. When working with us, we can help you bring experienced contractors on board without you missing a beat.”

Exclusive As You Need to Be

"We believe that working directly with hiring managers is the secret to a winning recruitment process,” says Ellie. “It keeps things simple, focused, and efficient for everyone involved.”

By cutting through the noise, she says, Savvy can devote energy to finding the very best candidates for each role.

“At the same time, we’ll ensure we represent your employer brand in the best possible light. We’re all about the power of delivering a consistent, compelling message to the market for our clients. Without that consistency, an excellent candidate experience isn’t possible!”

London Roots, Global Reach

Situated in the bustling heart of London, we do our best work from the epicentre of the UK’s marketing, media and tech industries. 

Being here allows us to stay plugged into industry trends and regularly connect with some of the brightest minds in the business.

But our reach doesn’t stop at the M25. With a network that spans the globe, we’re just as comfortable sourcing talent for Soho start-ups as we are for multinational giants.

The Savvy Difference

So, what really sets Savvy apart? It’s our ability to balance our expertise with a collaborative, down-to-earth attitude that employers and candidates appreciate. We’re invested in finding the right person for the job, not just the quickest fix.

It’s the way we’ve built a team that’s as passionate about media and tech as their clients. It’s our knack for building genuine relationships and offering services that go beyond the transactional. In short, it’s our Savvy-ness (pun absolutely intended).
