Kaisa Laug, Senior Consultant | Interim Recruitment

Kaisa Laug

I look after freelance and contract resource across Marketing, Creative, Product, Data and Sales for agencies and in-house across the UK.

I have 12 years' industry experience (1 years' marketing agency experience; 11 years' creative and marketing recruitment experience).

My career in recruitment started working for a small recruitment business as an Assistant Resourcing and Marketing Manager. I then moved on to working for a marketing agency as an Account Executive, where the role involved junior level client management, on and offline project management and liaising with Creative, Studio and Development teams.

I am definitely, first and foremost, a people person. I love talking to new and existing freelancers, understanding their freelance offering, what works for them and what doesn’t, sharing industry news, and above all, supporting them throughout their freelance careers. To guide and support someone who is about to embark on their freelance journey and see them thrive - that is why I do what I do. I love getting to know our clients’ businesses, culture and what makes them tick. For me, it really is all about building relationships with our clients and freelancers and working hard to find suitable contractors for our clients’ temporary resource needs.

I love happy clients and freelancers; that’s what puts the fire in my belly!

“Having worked with Anna, Kaisa and the team at Beyond the Book for a number of years I can honestly say how professional, accommodating and reliable they all are. I have used them to supply freelance cover and have also been on their books myself. From both sides of the fence, I cannot recommend them enough. They are always my first port of call for Permanent and Freelance positions.”

“Beyond the Book have got to be one of the best, most attentive and knowledgeable recruiters in our field - and from experience, they are few and far between. I know I can trust them to put me towards roles that would be ideal for me. Their 'permanent' side staff are excellent, and I have used them before, but personally, for my last five months within freelance, help from Kaisa has been tremendous. Thank you so, so much for your help and immense industry knowledge.”

“I have worked with Kaisa to provide freelance and contract resource at Beyond the Book on numerous occasions over the last 5 years. I find Kaisa friendly and always very quick to respond when I make contact. When discussing requirements Kaisa is thorough so she can match us with the right person. We have worked with some great freelancer/contractors during this time and have gone on to use most more than once.”

“Kaisa and the team at Beyond the Book helped me secure my first freelance job on-site at a Milton Keynes based design agency which has since turned into regular remote work. Kaisa has been great. She always keeps in regular contact and I've always found her to be friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend Beyond the Book to any designer looking to take the plunge and begin a freelance career.”

“Kaisa is always so helpful and willing to offer advice on all areas of freelance work. She's really genuine and friendly to work with and makes time to be in touch whether I'm looking for new roles or professional advice as a freelancer. Thanks, Kaisa!”
