3Search has worked with the Marketing Director at Atelier Finance over a number of years, supporting marketing hires in various businesses. When they identified the need to strengthen Atelier Finance’s content and video capability, they partnered with 3Search again to help secure a Video Editor in a highly competitive talent market.
Atelier Finance is a specialist property lender providing bespoke financial solutions to professional residential property developers across the UK. The business focuses on structuring tailored funding solutions for projects ranging from £3m to £40m.
As the business continued to invest in its brand and marketing programme, content became an increasingly important part of how it engaged developers, partners and the wider property market. Video was identified as a key channel for increasing reach, strengthening brand visibility, and showcasing the expertise within the business.
At a pivotal moment for the marketing team, Atelier Finance wanted to establish a dedicated video capability within its marketing department. Finding the right person was critical, as the successful candidate would need a unique combination of skills:
Beyond technical capability, the role required someone who could operate in an agile environment, supporting regular filming schedules, and delivering a consistent pipeline of high-quality content. Finding an individual who could balance creative, technical, and coaching responsibilities created a particularly challenging search.
Atelier Finance needed a talent partner capable of quickly interpreting the brief, identifying relevant talent, and delivering a focused shortlist without compromising quality. Having worked with 3Search for more than a decade, the Marketing Director trusted our ability to understand complex marketing requirements and access specialist talent.
As a contract role, Edwina Wickham was best placed to support this search. She worked closely with the hiring team to understand both the technical and interpersonal requirements of the role.
Edwina conducted a highly targeted search focused on candidates with proven experience across production, editing and content creation, while also assessing their ability to influence stakeholders and build confidence within an in-house team environment. Drawing on her specialist creative network, she quickly delivered a curated shortlist of relevant candidates whose experience closely aligned with the brief. This enabled the business to move efficiently through interview stages and maintain momentum throughout the hiring process.
Atelier Finance successfully appointed a Video Editor to establish and develop its in-house video capability. The successful hire brought expertise across filming, editing, script writing and content production, while also supporting internal stakeholders to become more confident and engaging on camera.
The appointment provided the business with the dedicated resource needed to scale its video output and strengthen content delivery across its wider marketing programme.
I've worked with the 3Search team for more than a decade and have always found them to be knowledgeable, responsive, highly effective and a pleasure to work with. They consistently take the time to understand the brief and deliver high-quality candidates. I regularly recommend them to others and wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.
