The story of ClearScore

ClearScore is a FinTech business helping millions of consumers improve their financial wellbeing through free credit scores, reports, and financial product recommendations. Founded in 2015 in the UK, the organisation has since scaled over four continents. 

At a pivotal moment of international growth and increasing brand visibility, including major partnerships such as the FA Cup, the business has been investing heavily in building a more sophisticated, scalable marketing function. 

Challenge: Building a scalable, internationally focused marketing function

As ClearScore entered a new phase of growth, the business needed to strengthen and expand its marketing capabilities across multiple areas: 

  • Building out campaigns and propositions capability 
  • Supporting increased brand investment and partnerships 
  • Expanding into key international markets, particularly South Africa

To do this, they needed to engage several new marketing hires, including: 

  • Marketing Manager (South Africa) 
  • Capaigns & Propositions Manager 
  • Marketing Executive

Several roles were newly created, requiring individuals who could operate in ambiguity and help define the structure as they went. The South Africa role, in particular, required a rare blend of local market knowledge and fintech experience, while London-based hires needed to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery in a fast-moving environment. 

Solution: Specialist marketing recruitment support

With these roles playing a significant role in the business’ growth, ClearScore turned to 3Search due to our deep specialism in marketing hiring. Having worked with us before on several occasions, they knew they could access a highly networked, hard-to-reach talent pool through our team.  

Our approach was highly targeted and network-led. For the South Africa Marketing Manager role, we leveraged an existing relationship with a candidate who brought: 

  • Deep FinTech experience 
  • Five years working in South Africa 
  • Recent relocation to London

This enabled us to deliver an immediately relevant shortlist, allowing the process to move at pace with minimal need for broad market testing. 

Result: Successful build out of the marketing team

We have successfully placed multiple hires across ClearScore’s marketing function, helping to build a more structured, scalable, and internationally capable team.
