Our 5-step process

Whilst there are some general principles to how we work, our service is tailored to meet your needs, not ours.

We like to arrange an initial, informal meeting or video call to find out more about you and your career ambitions.

The next time we contact you will be when we have a relevant job opportunity to share with you.

If an opportunity is right for you, we'll submit your application and keep you updated at all stages of the process.

We arrange your interviews and provide you with tailored support to help you prepare.

We provide you with feedback and help you through the offer process right up to your start date.

Why Breathe Consulting?

We listen to you

We like to meet everyone we work with either in person or via video call to help us get to know you and to understand what you are looking for in your next role.

We do not hassle you

We respect you have a day job, which will always be your priority, so we make appointments when we need to speak.

Matching not placing

We aim to find you a new agency where you will want to stay for the longer term - growing your career by helping the agency grow their business.

CV advice

Making sure you stand-out from the crowd has never been more important. We can provide you with expert advice on CV writing that will help you secure an interview.

Limited communication

We will only share opportunities that fit your skillset and career ambitions – we do not send out mailers unless we are conducting annual performance research.

Transparent

We provide you with open and honest feedback on all aspects of the process, from initial discussion through to job offer.

Career advice

Having worked in both networked and independent marketing agencies for many years, we fully understand the agency environment.

Confidential

We never send your CV or discuss your job search with any third party without your explicit approval. We will keep your personal information safe.

"Breathe Consulting are one of the best recruitment agencies out there. They not only know the market really well but also, due to their stellar reputation and good relationships, are able to spot opportunities and get new briefs, which for other recruitment agencies might have been a challenge due to the pandemic.

During the whole process of my application to an AD role, their ongoing support and guidance was of vital importance and at all times I was well informed on what was going on. Martin's valuable expertise within the advertising world and Rob's vast experience within recruitment makes them a winning duo, all that packed with two lovely personalities to work with. What more can one ask when searching for a new role?"
