digital recruitment specialists

expertise in marketing, e-Commerce, sales, tech & digital transformation

As former digital practitioners we have worked in, hired or managed many of the roles we now help recruit for. Our client -side experience gives us a fairly unique perspective of the digital, and a deep understanding of what 'good' looks like for hiring companies and candidates alike. Our working knowledge of digital marketing, tech, e-Commerce and transformation, enables us to help shape the brief and get out to market faster.
Driven by creating the perfect match, our focus is not just about finding potential candidates with the necessary hard skills. We want to find the right person who will fit culturally well into your organisation, and will navigate your organisation effectively in order to achieve your objectives.

What we do

Team Builds & Projects

Whether you're migrating digital services in-house or building a new digital marketing team from the ground-up, we can help to future-proof the needs of your business.

Performance & Interim Search

Helping clients during periods of growth, transition or absence, we draw on our extensive network of experienced permanent & contract practitioners, to help identify the best digital people in the market fast - saving you time, money & frustration.

Executive Search

Our proactive headhunt helps clients secure the most business critical digital leadership & board level hires. No matter how challenging the brief, we work around the clock to find the most experienced candidates, anywhere in the world, to the tightest of deadlines.

Digital People took the time to understand our business challenges and digital program. They gained valuable insight into what we’re trying to achieve and got under the skin of our market. All were new roles to the business so we weren’t really sure what we were looking for.
They really demonstrated their expertise and sourced experienced and energetic individuals who we believed would make something happen. These roles were key for us as once in place we planned to build teams around them. The impact they made was immediate I couldn’t be happier.

What our clients say

“The experience with Digital People was excellent. They looked to understand our needs as well as making sure they found someone for whom the role was exactly right. Six months in, we are really starting to feel the benefit. They continued to ensure that all parties are having the experience they were expecting. I would recommend them to anyone looking to find people who will fit well into their organisation.”

CEO, MMT Digital

“Our first impression was that Digital People were highly experienced & that they really cared. They spent a lot of time understanding our brief. As a matter of fact, they helped us reformulate the brief & recommended options that encapsulated all the qualities we were looking for. This was invaluable & helped us really define the roles while making them more desirable to candidates with the right experience. The impact they made was immediate & I couldn’t be happier.”

Digital Director, Arco

“Ed supported us on one of the key roles in our digital transformation journey. We enjoyed working with Ed and he succeeded in delivering within the project timelines, with the additional challenge of working with stakeholders across several countries. What impressed us was that Ed, true to his word, flew out to Singapore to meet all the candidates in person. Ultimately, the successful hire has settled into our culture and the role well, and has delivered a measurable impact to our marketing results.”

Head of People, IDP Pty

“We partnered with Digital People to help us identify our new CEO. It was imperative we got the right person on board to lead our growth strategy. They were able to use their extensive industry experience & instinct, to deliver an exceptional shortlist, from which we made an exceptional hire. It was extremely refreshing to work with a recruiter who truly understands the industry & their service was first-rate.”

Owner, Oban International

“Having Digital People come into our business & spend time with both the management team & the workforce was a real game changer in the hiring process & gave us great confidence that they understood not just the experience required to do the job, but also the personal attributes & styles that would really fit with our company ethos & values. It’s been a great experience & I highly recommend them.”

Chief Executive Officer

For us the brief is one of the most critical parts of the process. We're not aiming to find anyone or someone; the person we find needs to be the one.
Where circumstances allow, we always try to spend as much time with key stakeholders as possible, to help form a detailed set of requirements and a thorough understanding of wider business objectives. Most importantly, it's a chance to get a feel for the company culture and form a view of the type of person that not only has the right hard skills for the role, but who will fit culturally well into a client's organisation.
We're looking for a two way match, which is why we have such an incredible retention rate.
