Breaking the Myths of Marketing Recruitment – How THoM Talent search is Redefining Talent Acquisition 

In the competitive world of marketing recruitment, many misconceptions persist, often leading businesses to make poor hiring decisions or partner with the wrong recruitment agencies. At THoM Talent Search, part of The House of Marketing, we’re here to challenge these outdated beliefs and revolutionize how marketing talent is sourced and placed. By combining our deep marketing expertise with a data-driven recruitment approach, we not only find candidates — we build high-performing teams that last. 

Myth #1: “Recruiters keep sending you sales profiles for marketing roles.” 

Our approach: We’re marketers who recruit. We know the difference. 

One of the most common frustrations we hear from clients is that traditional recruiters often struggle to distinguish between sales and marketing profiles. At THoM, we come from a marketing background ourselves, allowing us to fully understand the nuances of the roles we’re hiring for going from generalist positions to highly specialized expert roles. Because we speak the same marketing language, we’re able to have deeper, more focused conversations with you from the first interaction. We don’t just gather surface-level job requirements, but we explore the real needs behind the role, the team’s dynamics, and the ideal candidate’s mindset. This expertise enables us to match the right candidates based on both skillset and mindset, ensuring they thrive within your team. 

Myth #2: “60% of HR teams struggle with recruitment.” 

Our approach: With 30,000+ profiles and 30+ years of experience, we find the right fit fast. 

Finding the right marketing talent is not just about volume; it’s about precision. With access to a vast network of over 30,000 marketing professionals and three decades of experience, we leverage both qualitative insights and data-driven strategies to quickly identify the right fit for your team. Our unique approach allows us to significantly reduce the time-to-hire without compromising quality. 

Myth #3: “THoM only offers interim placements.”

Our approach: We strengthen teams both short-term and long-term — from interim support to permanent marketing hires. 

While we excel in providing interim solutions, we also excel in building long-term marketing teams that drive business growth. Whether you need temporary reinforcements for a project or a permanent marketing expert to lead your strategy, THoM Talent Search delivers tailored solutions that fit your needs. We believe in creating lasting partnerships that extend beyond the initial placement. 

Myth #4: “If a candidate looks good on paper, they’ll perform well.” 

Our approach: Marketing success is about skills, mindset, cultural fit, and future-proof capabilities — not just what’s on a CV. 

At THoM, we understand that a candidate’s true potential goes beyond their resume. We conduct in-depth interviews to assess a candidate’s mindset, cultural fit, and future ambitions, ensuring they align with your company’s values and growth trajectory. This holistic approach leads to higher retention rates and long-term success. 

Myth #5: “Any recruitment agency can find great marketers.” 

Our approach: With 30+ years of marketing expertise, access to a 30,000+ candidate database, and a proven network of top marketing talent, we don’t just find candidates — we build high-performing teams. 

Unlike traditional recruitment agencies, THoM’s deep-rooted experience in the marketing industry gives us an unparalleled edge. We know where to find the best talent, how to engage them, and how to assess their potential for success within your organization. Our extensive network and hands-on marketing knowledge allow us to curate a shortlist of top-tier candidates who are ready to make an impact. E We know the market so well that during the recruitment process we can proactively respond to market trends, anticipate potential needs and ensure that the profiles we present are future-proof.  

Myth #6: “More applicants = better candidates.” 

Our approach: Quality over quantity. We have 30,000+ profiles, but we focus on the right fit, not just the numbers. 

In the world of marketing recruitment, volume doesn’t equal quality. At THoM talent search, we prioritize finding the perfect match over flooding your inbox with resumes. By carefully curating and screening candidates, we ensure that each profile we present is highly relevant and ready to excel in your organization. 

Myth #7: “Experience is enough to hire for a marketing role.” 

Our approach: We find the right talent that not only fits the skills you’re looking for but also matches your team’s mindset, culture, and future ambitions to ensure long-term success. 

While experience is valuable, it’s not the sole factor that determines success. We go beyond the obvious to assess a candidate’s cultural fit, adaptability, and potential for future growth. This comprehensive evaluation process allows us to build marketing teams that are resilient, innovative, and ready for the challenges of tomorrow.
