IMAGINE A RECRUITMENT AGENCY WHERE YOUR RECRUITER HAS DONE THE JOB THEMSELVES.
Imagine no more! Example is the recruitment agency that leads by Example. With over 20 years in B2B marketing, our founder, Gareth, realised that the one thing that drove growth wherever he went was people - and that his network, knowledge and processes had always helped him find the very best.
We treat recruitment as marketers would. We protect your brand, we define your addressable market, and we convert as many of them as possible into interested candidates.
And then we go to work - rigorously screening and selecting, asking the right questions and working through the recruitment process with care, diligence and empathy for both sides.

WE DON’T INVITE APPLICATIONS
WE IDENTIFY FUTURE HIRES
There’s a good reason you won’t find us advertising on job boards. You can do that yourself. Clients come to us not to sift through hundreds of applications, but to identify future hires. To find the 1 in 1,000.
That’s why every role, from graduate marketer through to CMO, is a pure headhunt. As marketers, we have a range of techniques to identify, attract and assess people before we present them. The net result is that hiring is faster, more enjoyable and more predictable.
What happens when you work with Example
What happens if my hire doesn’t work out?
We guarantee every hire for at least the length of probation. If you work with us on a success-only fee, we’ll guarantee up to the end of their probation. If you work with us on a retainer, we’ll guarantee for 12 months - meaning we’ll replace free of charge.
How do you find candidates if you don’t use job boards?
Sometimes we know them already. Often, we want to know them, we just need the right role. Otherwise, we find them & get to know them. We have many tools & techniques, and we use LLMs to source and cross-reference candidates with OSINT methodologies. When you search across the whole market, you find candidates who aren’t applying for roles on job boards, and are very often waiting for us to approach them.
How long does it take?
A solid shortlist should take between 5 to 10 days to develop. This involves taking a full brief, researching everything about your company, drawing up a longlist of people to contact, doing the outreach, conducting interviews and then presenting the top candidates to you.
Can I work with other recruiters as well as Example?
Obviously, we’d prefer that you don’t! We always give priority to exclusive relationships - which you’d expect purely from a commercial point of view. That gives us the breathing space to conduct serious interviews with candidates, in the knowledge that we’ll be paid for the work we do.
How do I know that my offer is at market rate?
We’ll tell you! We can present detailed salary information for your specific role - as well as insight into what the market is offering beyond the salary. If what you’re offering is below market rate, there’s little point in us taking it to the best candidates on the market, so it’s in all of our interests to ensure that you’re offering candidates the best opportunity possible.
How do you choose your candidates?
There are so many variables. But as recruiters who have spent many years as B2B marketers, we speak candidates’ language - and we understand their particular challenges. As hiring managers, we’ve built our own teams. We seek candidates who don’t just have the skills and background you need - but we look for values & behaviours that line up with yours. We listen for their language, their words, their reactions - and that’s where we really make our selection. That comes from many years of experience in the industry, as well as many years’ experience of being the hiring managers ourselves.
What are the payment options?
You can either pay on success, or you can pay a retainer. It’s up to you. A retainer gives you a longer guarantee period, so therefore greater peace of mind. Paying on success of course ensures that you don’t pay anything until you’ve got your hire in place.
Book a briefing call.
All good hires begin with a proper debrief. Of course, we love a nice job description, but we always start with getting to know you, the business, the team, the objectives, and everything else.
