Build a Specialist Recruitment Agency, Not Just Another Recruitment Desk
BrandHire is looking for an experienced recruiter who wants to build and own a business, not simply work for one.
Founded by an experienced marketing leader, BrandHire exists to solve a problem many recruitment agencies overlook: understanding marketing talent. Rather than relying on CV keywords alone, BrandHire is built on the belief that marketers should be assessed by someone who genuinely understands marketing.
We're now looking for a recruitment co-founder to complement that expertise with proven recruitment, business development, and client acquisition experience.
This is a significant, long-term decision for both of us. If you're looking for a salaried recruitment role, this probably isn't the right opportunity. If you're looking to build a specialist recruitment business from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.
Website: www.brandhire.co.uk
Role Overview
- Role: Co-Founder & Head of Recruitment
- Company: Brand Hire Ltd (Company No. 17165137)
- Location: Fully remote (UK only)
- Focus: Graduate and junior-to-mid-level marketing talent, with scope to recruit senior-level talent
- Compensation: Profit share on placements, plus an equity stake
- Commitment: Long-term partnership
- Start Date: Flexible
- Eligibility: Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. BrandHire is unable to provide visa sponsorship.
The Opportunity
BrandHire has been intentionally built as a lean, specialist recruitment business focused on marketing talent across the UK.
The vision isn't to become the biggest recruitment agency.
It's to become one of the most respected specialist recruitment businesses, known for understanding marketing better than traditional recruiters and delivering quality.
This is an opportunity to help shape every part of the business, from commercial strategy and client acquisition through to recruitment processes, technology, brand, and long-term growth.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll have genuine influence over the direction of BrandHire and a meaningful stake in what we build together.
Why BrandHire?
Most recruitment agencies recruit marketers without truly understanding marketing.
BrandHire was created to change that.
The founder brings over 15 years of commercial marketing leadership across UK and international businesses, including customer acquisition, commercial growth, brand strategy, and business leadership.
The successful co-founder will bring the complementary expertise: recruitment, business development, and building client relationships.
What You'll Be Responsible For
As Co-Founder, you'll lead the recruitment and commercial side of the business, including:
- Winning new clients through business development and relationship building.
- Building and managing candidate pipelines.
- Delivering end-to-end recruitment campaigns.
- Designing scalable recruitment processes and workflows.
- Helping shape commercial strategy, pricing, and target markets.
- Working alongside the founder on positioning, growth, and long-term business strategy.
- Helping determine how technology and AI can improve recruitment while maintaining a high-quality candidate experience.
What We're Looking For
You'll ideally bring:
- A proven track record of winning recruitment clients from scratch.
- Agency recruitment experience.
- Strong commercial and business development skills.
- An entrepreneurial mindset.
- A genuine desire to build a business rather than simply work within one.
- Long-term commitment to building something meaningful.
Experience recruiting marketing, digital, or technology professionals would be advantageous but isn't essential.
Applicants must be based in the UK and have the right to work in the UK.
