Experience and knowledge are everything

Preparing for your interview

Vast niche networks

With over 55,000 first-line contacts in our specialist network, our reach is vast. If you need a recruitment agency who can exhaust the market, and quickly, it’s our network that is our advantage. Gone are the days of relying on advertising.

Unrivalled consultant 'industry' experts

Having come from the Creative and Marketing industry ourselves (within agency and in-house teams), we have been committed to growing a team of consultants with either first-hand experience in the industry, or significant recruitment experience in Creative and Marketing. It's this knowledge that makes a huge difference to candidate and client experience and the ability to deliver; they are simply brilliant!

Full-service capability

We have been in the business of interim and perm recruitment for over 20 years, and it’s our ‘One Stop Professional Shop’ which clients really value.

Don't just take our word for it...

“Working with Anna and her team at Beyond the Book has been, and always will be, a fantastic experience. Anna and the guys ALWAYS go above and beyond what I ask them for - giving me insights, suggestions, and inspiration on projects - not just some of the best candidates I've worked with... which is no accident either, as they align our way of thinking with candidates who work in a similar style - PERFECT for the creative sector.”

“We love working with BTB, they are always really helpful and have placed many brilliant people with us over the years. Definitely one of the best industry recruiters in the UK.”

“When I decided to take the plunge into the world of freelancing BTB were there to give guidance and advice. Team BTB are ridiculously knowledgeable in their recruitment field and are always striving to ensure they find “the right” placement for you. Most importantly - they care about you the candidate. So, if you are reading this review, thinking “should I, shouldn’t I?” YES, YOU SHOULD! Get in touch with them.”

“I was lucky enough to connect with Michelle during my redundancy and from start to finish she was fantastic. She listened to my very particular wish list and found me a fantastic job that was not only a great industry fit, but also a great cultural fit. She was professional, friendly and incredibly supportive throughout the interview process, I’d highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a job.”

“Having only started my freelance journey earlier this year, I got in touch with Kaisa after a friend's recommendation and I'm glad I did! After our first phone call Kaisa knew all about my skills, experience and the type of contracts I was after which meant she has consistently delivered the perfect opportunities for me. I will continue to recommend Kaisa to friends and colleagues, she's a pleasure to communicate and work with.”
