Kaisa Laug, Senior Interim Recruitment Consultant

Kaisa Laug

I look after freelance and contract resource across Creative & Design, Artwork & Production, Film & Motion, Client Services & Delivery, Marketing & Brand, PR & Comms, Digital Marketing and tech for agencies and in-house across the UK.

I have 10 years' industry experience (1 years' marketing agency experience; 9 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!

“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.”

“I've been working with Michelle on various roles and always found her very easy to work with, professional, approachable and friendly. Michelle has put forward some excellent candidates for our consideration and supported our needs as a small charity, even when they have been challenging at times. I would definitely recommend Beyond the Book to others, on the basis of my relationship with Michelle, an excellent recruitment consultant.”

“It was a pleasure working with Beyond The Book. It was clear they understood what we were looking for and provided us with some intriguing and interesting candidates which gave us a real headache to pick between. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend BTB and look forward to working with them again on our next hire.”

“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.”

“BTB are the best! No matter the size of the brief, BTB manages to find the best talent at the drop of a hat. They go over and above to keep me updated on new talent coming through, as well as interrogating each brief to make sure the perfect person is placed.”
