Why is your marketing recruitment agency failing?
Marketing is one of the biggest job functions with 1000s of different roles, including roles across creative, analytical, digital, and strategic domains.
With technology such as AI, data analytics, automation, and martech tools in the industry evolving each day, the list of job roles keep increasing too.
A recent survey projects a 10% growth in marketing jobs from 2022 to 2032, faster than the average for all occupations.
Also, the employee churn in the marketing and advertising industry has reached 35-40%, significantly higher than the industry average.
The Solution?
Keeping your marketing recruitment funnel full of potential candidates, so that you make them an offer the first chance you get!
Unlike a marketing recruitment agency’s full-cycle recruitment, talent sourcing can empower your marketing recruitment efforts with a strong, sustainable talent pipeline!
And, we can help!
Rent-A-Sourcer for the Marketing Recruitment Support
What does your marketing team need, if we ask you, the answers would be probably go in various directions. But, we know, it is not those 100s of roles and responsibilities of marketing professionals that make a good marketing team!
It is the mix of creativity, spontaneity, constant learning, and last but not least, the technical knowledge, which is not easy to spot.
With AI on the rise, it has become harder to screen candidates, as AI-based screening tools often rely on keyword matches, which can lead to less nuanced assessments.
And, Rent-A-Sourcer enables you to solve this challenge. We build a talent pipeline that is qualified, pre-validated, and engaged, ready to be interviewed.
With 20+ years in the marketing recruitment services, we understand how to pre-screen with utmost care and select candidates with the right capabilities.

How we pre-screen for Marketing Recruitment
Rent-A-Sourcer has its own methodology to pre-screen candidates to build a quality talent pipeline. Here’s how we do it!
1. Persona-Based Role Fit Analysis
We map each candidate to a marketing persona based on:
-
Role history
-
Language used in past roles ("scale," "engagement," "automation")
-
Type of companies they've worked at (agency vs. in-house vs. startup)
This narrows down candidates to roles they’re naturally aligned with, not just what’s on their CV.
2. Portfolio + Footprint Review
Before reaching out, we scan:
-
Public portfolios (Behance, Dribbble, or LinkedIn posts)
-
Marketing articles, LinkedIn content, or campaign write-ups
-
Metrics mentioned (e.g., "improved CTR by 40%", "led product GTM")
We pre-screen for real achieved outcomes and not just job titles.
3. Tool Stack Familiarity Check
We tag candidates by the tools they’re accustomed to:
-
HubSpot user or admin?
-
Ran ads or optimized them?
-
Used Google Analytics for reporting or actual strategy?
This helps us identify actual tool users vs. resume fillers.
4. Narrative Scan
We look for storytelling cues in resumes and public profiles:
Can the candidate narrate their marketing impact?
Do they talk about results, not just tasks?
Is their profile aligned with the brand voice or the audience they serve?
Strong marketers often communicate well, even in how they present themselves.
5. Engagement Check
We personalize our outreach for optimal response rates and keep track of it:
-
Who responds to thoughtful marketing-specific sourcing messages
-
Who engages with our prompts ("What recent ad inspired you?" or "Your take on organic vs. paid growth?")
-
Who’s active in marketing communities (Slack groups, Twitter/X, etc)
This surfaces candidates who are not just qualified, but actively engaged.
Each organization has a unique phase and requires employees who will succeed in that specific phase. So, if you bring a person from a large organization to a startup, they won’t survive. Full-fledged marketing recruitment solutions may not be able to focus on individual organizations' needs. They would rather focus on the job role itself. But we do it differently, we put organizations first!
