Our recruitment process
1. Create a search brief
When you speak with our Talent Agents, we'll support you in refining your hiring needs, determining budget, conducting interviews, and preparing onboarding plans. We step in as a hiring “project manager” to ensure both clients and candidates are set up for success.
2. Recruit and screen
With extensive experience and global networks in the marketing, design, and technology space, we source from talent pools that are proven both on and off paper. Aquent focuses on relationship-building with clients and talent alike to ensure compatible matches.
3. Interview qualified candidates
Our Talent Agents offer comprehensive candidate interview support and coordinate structured talent assessments to evaluate each candidate's skills and fit for your team. Moving beyond credentials, we search for qualities that align with your brand's culture and objectives, ensuring only the best candidates are shortlisted for you.
4. Offer and close
When you're ready to make an offer, Aquent steps in to manage negotiations, answer questions, and secure acceptance. Let us handle the finer details to forge a smooth transition from offer to onboarding, positioning the candidate and your team for a productive start.
5. Check-in and post-placement support
We won't leave you high and dry at the finish line. Through regular check-ins during the first three to six months post-placement we can help you strengthen employer onboarding, ensuring both parties are comfortable and moving along smoothly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of hiring support does Aquent offer?
Often hiring managers—while experts in their roles—are not always trained throughout the complete recruitment and onboarding process with new hires. Aquent is here to educate and empower you to start on the right foot so you and the candidate can hit the ground running in the new role.
We will support you in scoping budgets, establishing marketing salary benchmarks, and choosing the best source of engagement. Our Talent Agents guide you through conducting interviews, creating full-breadth onboarding plans, and any other personalised recruiting assistance you need.
What is a good marketing salary?
Competitive marketing salaries can depend on the scope and duration of the engagement, position seniority, location, and industry. For an anonymous, real-time check of competitive salary ranges for the role you need to fill, head over to our salary comparison tool—or, speak to our team about salary benchmarking.
Can marketing recruitment agencies fill niche roles?
You bet we can. We have an extensive global network of junior to mid-level and executive candidates to fill specialist marketing roles in a range of capacities, from freelance to temporary and permanent hires. Let us know your needs, and we will find you the right marketing talent.
Can you fill remote and onsite positions?
We can help fill both remote and onsite positions. Hiring remotely allows you to engage more diverse, top-tier talent from across the globe. In Australia, Aquent offers recruitment services in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney, and we can secure the best marketing professionals for onsite roles in your area.
