How We Work
Our main goal is finding the right capability, judgement, and fit for teams and building lasting relationships with the people and places we work with. This allows us to contribute to vibrant, productive, and inclusive workplaces where good people thrive.
We strive to offer flexible social media recruitment services, offering both retained and contingent recruitment modes to suit your unique requirements.
Exclusivity
You engage The People Place exclusively to fill a specific position. I work solely on your search and take full accountability for the outcome, end to end.
Customised approach
We go deep on the brief before going to market. That means understanding the role, the team, and what good actually looks like in practice, so the shortlist is built on judgement, not keywords.
FLEXIBLE TIMELINE
With one clear focus, the process runs calmly and properly. Outreach is considered, screening is thorough, and decisions are made with clarity rather than pressure.
HIGHER LEVEL OF SUCCESS
Exclusive work leads to stronger alignment and better retention. Fewer interviews. Clearer decisions. Hires that stand up well beyond the first few months.
Non-exclusivity
A contingent search allows you to engage more than 1 recruiter at the same time. It can suit roles where the brief is well defined and speed is the priority.
Rushed turnaround
Because recruiters are competing, the process often moves quickly. The trade off is lighter screening and less depth in candidate conversations.
COMPETITION AND BUSINESS IMAGE
When multiple recruiters approach the market at once, candidates notice. It can create noise, mixed messaging, and a sense of urgency that does not always reflect the role or the business.
COMPETITIVE NATURE
Strong candidates may be contacted several times about the same role. That increases pressure and reduces your control over how the opportunity is positioned and perceived.
While we recommend retained mode for the best results, we’d love to accommodate your unique social media recruitment needs. Find out more about how a partnership with our lead creative recruiter, Nic, works.
Our Process
Our social media recruitment process typically involves:
01
An initial consultation
We start with an in-depth discussion to understand your needs, expectations, goals, and company culture. This allows us to clearly define the role and identify the ideal candidate profile.

We’ll conduct thorough interviews and rigorous screening processes to evaluate candidates both professionally and personally, ensuring only the most suitable people are presented.
04
Presenting candidates

05
Coordinating interviews
We’ll handle all logistics related to scheduling interviews, making the process seamless and efficient for both you and the candidates. This also includes follow-up communications and feedback collection.
