About Beyond The Book
Beyond The Book is a specialist recruitment consultancy working within the Creative, Marketing and Digital Industries. We are based in a beautiful countryside setting just outside of Stratford-upon-Avon, with free parking on site and a very flexible approach to the working week.
We believe that we have created a relaxed, enjoyable and autonomous culture that makes working at Beyond The Book a different experience from the majority of other recruiters.
Our values are centred around integrity, quality, being experts in our field, and creating meaningful, long-term, relationships with candidates and clients. As such, we have built a team of like-minded and motivated consultants, who have a real understanding of the sectors they lead.
All our consultants have a passion for delivering fantastic results to our clients and genuinely helping to further the careers of Creative and Marketing professionals, across the UK.
If you are currently working in a Creative or Marketing related discipline (non-recruitment) and love working with people, or have experience in recruitment for this industry, and could do with a refreshing change, then we would love to have a chat. This role will be joining our Digital Marketing team and so an interest and some knowledge in digital and content is a must.
A Beyond The Book Recruitment Consultant
You may have some perceptions around what working for a recruitment company is like, especially through direct experience over your career to date. We can’t speak for other recruiters but here are a few potential fears, addressed:
“Recruitment is all about targets and I’m not sure I want to be in sales”
Our focus at BTB is very different. Of course, our business needs to earn income but we 100% believe that if we make smart choices, take a long-term approach to all that we do, and service our client’s requirements with fantastic people, not CVs, then the income follows. And it does.
“Don’t recruiters have to work every evening?”
We are very targeted and discerning in our candidate search, and this ensures we have fewer but deeper conversations with candidates. Sometimes you need to talk to people out of work hours, but we balance this by having a very flexible approach towards the working week.
“I can already hear people saying, “why have you jumped to the dark side?”, and I really want to be proud of my career choice”
For people who currently work in the industry itself, you will find the way our consultants' work is strongly aligned with your experience. Recruitment must be about business strategy, marketing, content, account management and relationship building, and as such the switch to recruitment isn’t as big as you’d think!
