How We Work

With a focus on finding the right cultural fit and building lasting relationships, we ensure vibrant, productive, and inclusive workplaces where good people thrive.

We aim to be one of the more flexible marketing recruitment agencies, and offer our services on both retained and contingent recruitment modes to suit your unique requirements. While we recommend retained mode for best results, here’s an outline of both options:

 

Working with marketing recruitment agencies on retained mode:

  • The client partners with The People Place exclusively for a specific role, dedicating our resources and time to find the best candidates.
  • With a guarantee in place, we have the flexibility to adjust the timeline and prioritise this placement as necessary.
  • We invest significant time to understand the client’s needs, company culture, and role requirements, leading to higher-quality candidates.
  • In-depth focus on a single role reduces staff turnover, enhances retention, and streamlines the recruitment process from start to finish.
  • The client pays a fee at the outset of the search, securing our commitment to finding the right candidate. We’re open to negotiating custom arrangements.

 

Working with marketing recruitment agencies on contingent mode:

  • Multiple recruiters or agencies may be competing to fill one job opening.
  • The client will only be charged if one of our candidates is selected.
  • Contingent jobs often require speedy turnaround time to present options, which can result in a less thorough screening process.
  • Several recruiters may approach the best candidate simultaneously.
  • The fast-paced nature of contingent recruitment can dilute the client’s brand and create a sense of desperation.

At The People Place, we want to lead the charge of advertising recruitment agencies to ensure that our people are the right fit for our clients – and that we’re the right fit too. That’s why we offer both contingent and retained options.  Learn more about what a partnership with our lead creative recruiter, Nic, can do for you.
