Long-term partners of UP3, a ServiceNow Elite partner, our consultants recently supported the business with the recruitment of a Brand & Content Marketing Manager. As the business grew, the Marketing Director identified the need to introduce these skills into the team.
Having had an exceptional experience with our tech recruitment team in the past, UP3 brought this role to our consultants for support. Laura McManus delivered excellent candidates, and they made the hire in just four weeks.
Established in 2016, UP3 is a ServiceNow Elite partner specialising in the implementation and management of their platforms. The organisation enables businesses to unlock the full potential of ServiceNow, ensuring seamless operations and exceptional service experiences.
At this point in their growth, UP3 were ready to expand their marketing team to accommodate their growing marketing plans.
UP3 needed to bring in new hires due to company growth. To continue growing, their Marketing Director had to re-focus their efforts on strategic work and step away from the execution of marketing campaigns. To do this, they identified the need to bring in a marketer who specialised in content and brand. This hire would allow them to free up their own time to focus their efforts on larger strategic projects.
In such a busy period, UP3 decided to outsource their marketing recruitment efforts to 3Search. Having had such a positive experience with a previous hire, they knew that our consultants could quickly deliver excellent candidates.
To allow our recruiters to dedicate the right time and resource to this project, we worked with UP3 on a retained basis.
First, specialist tech recruiter, Laura McManus, got to know the team the Brand & Content Marketing Manager would be joining. She visited the team in their offices to ensure she could effectively sell the job and identify candidates suitable for the role.
Once she understood the candidate profile UP3 were searching for, Laura started to understand the market sentiment. She maintained regular communication with the Marketing Director, sharing feedback from interested candidates and advising on salary bandings.
Having taken the pressure from UP3’s Marketing Director, Laura successfully completed the recruitment process in just four weeks. This crucial hire would be available to support the marketing team shortly after the initial search began.
Working with 3Search was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Laura and Michael took the time to truly understand what we were looking for from our new hire, came in to see me to understand the culture and asked excellent questions to get under the skin of our company, the opportunity for the candidates and what it would be like to work here. The result was a selected number of high-quality CVs with insightful write ups, the vast majority of which met our requirements and most importantly were a good cultural fit. Laura was excellent throughout the process, great communication, good advice throughout and never once did I feel I was being pushed in a direction that I didn’t want. The result of all this was a quick time to hire – 3 weeks after a very smooth and effective recruitment process. Thank you to Laura and Michael and I look forward to working together in the future.Rebecca Dicker Marketing Director
