Our technology marketing recruiters partnered with the construction management software platform, DataScope, when the Head of Marketing needed to build out his marketing team.
Based on our proven track record within the business and consultative approach, DataScope appointed us to lead both searches within the marketing team. Katie Scott worked closely with the business to appoint a Brand and Content Lead and Demand Generation Manager.
Founded in 2005, DataScope was built to improve how construction risks were controlled. Operating within the construction sector, they provide digital solutions that support project delivery and operational efficiency for more than 2.5 million users.
At a pivotal moment for the business, growth plans required a more sophisticated and structured marketing function. They needed to drive demand, elevate brand positioning, and support long-term commercial objectives.
DataScope needed to make two critical hires to underpin the next phase of growth:
The challenge was multifaceted as they sought candidates who could deliver immediate impact while embedding into the existing culture:
This created a highly selective and competitive search environment.
DataScope recognised the need to partner with a recruitment agency who could act as an extension of their business and provide guidance as the search progressed. They chose to partner with 3Search’s Katie Scott, who would manage the entire process while allowing internal stakeholders to focus on core responsibilities.
Katie delivered a highly targeted, insight-led search strategy:
This structured approach ensured full market coverage and enabled DataScope to make informed, confident hiring decisions.
Following our Advise, Attract, Develop methodology, Katie also leveraged her experience in tech marketing recruitment to refine the job specifications, interview process and assessment tasks. She prepared each candidate for their interviews and managed the offer, negotiation and contract stage through to completion.
Both roles were successfully filled within three weeks of briefing to offer acceptance.
Across the two searches, six candidates were interviewed for each role before the successful hires were identified. Both candidates demonstrated a strong cultural fit, brought relevant marketing expertise and aligned closely with the long-term vision of the business.
These appointments provide DataScope with the foundations to scale its marketing function, with both individuals set to play a key role in driving growth and brand development.
We worked with Katie at 3Search on two hires for our marketing team: a Brand & Content Lead, and a Demand Generation Manager. Throughout the process, Katie was excellent to work with. She took the time to understand our requirements, provided a comprehensive overview of the market, and consistently kept us updated on progress. She was proactive in managing the process, regularly checking in with candidates, chasing feedback, and ensuring momentum was maintained on all three searches. The whole process ran smoothly from start to finish, including offer management and contracts. Katie was professional, responsive, friendly, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right people for our team. We were delighted with the outcome and wouldn't hesitate to work with Katie and the 3Search team again in the future.
