Our specialist content recruiters have worked with PensionBee, leading online pension provider, since 2019. We have partnered with them on a number of content, copywriting and design roles over the years. Most recently supporting the recruitment of two Content Managers for their busy team.
PensionBee was founded in 2014 to revolutionise the retirement industry through innovative technology, product leadership and excellent customer service in the UK and the US. Their proposition allows customers to combine, contribute and withdraw pensions online and take control of their retirement.
Our recruitment consultants first began working with the business in 2019 as they grew their marketing team. Over the years, the marketers we have placed there have seen great success in growing their careers and the brand. So, when PensionBee needed to hire two Content Managers, they knew they could rely on 3Search.
PensionBee needed to hire two Senior Content Marketing Managers — one newly created role focused on strengthening investment-focused content, and another to replacement hire.
These roles required a very unusual blend of skills:
Finding candidates with the right mix of expertise, tone, and salary expectations had proved difficult. PensionBee had already tried advertising directly but couldn’t attract suitable talent, leading them to partner with our FinTech marketing recruiters.
Specialist finance marketing recruiter, Hannah Glazebrook, began by aligning expectations with the internal hiring team. The initial scope and budget was unlikely to succeed, so we advised them on what was realistic, where they could be flexible, and delivered some alternative options to consider.
Our approach included:
Throughout the process, we worked collaboratively with PensionBee to refine the brief, overcome market constraints, and ensure momentum despite the niche profile they needed.
We successfully placed the two Senior Content Marketing Managers in this recent search. The first has already made a significant impact and is considered an excellent fit across capability, tone of voice, and culture.
Having now placed several content hires over the years (one of whom is now Head of Content), our partnership with PensionBee continues to strengthen.
We recently worked with Hannah and Jaemien to hire two Content Marketing Managers within the team – they were brilliant to work with! They shared amazing candidates with us, were easy to communicate with and really took the time to understand the roles we were hiring for and the skills and expertise needed. We were really impressed and have already had one of the hires start who’s a brilliant fit for our team, so would definitely work with them again!Danielle Skerrett Head of Content Marketing
