How has marketing recruitment changed in 2023?

As predicted, marketing recruitment has been very different this year compared to last. Now, with more candidates actively looking for work, we have seen the recruitment market become much more balanced compared to the past. 

This is leading many hiring managers to believe that it’s easier to find top talent. However, we’re speaking to employers who are facing different challenges, including:

  1. The cost-of-living crisis
  2. An increased number of applications
  3. Limited hiring resources
  4. Fast-approaching deadlines

To ensure you’re best prepared to handle these trials, we encourage you to download our How to Hire report. Our specialist marketing recruiters have detailed how you can overcome each of these problems and continue to hire great talent. The guide includes London marketing salaries for permanent and temporary roles.


Understanding 2023 marketing salaries 

In the previous edition of this report, we revealed that salaries rose by 20% between 2021 and 2022. It's important to note that we haven’t seen salaries decrease this year. In fact, they have continued to rise, albeit a much smaller percentage than last year.

According to LinkedIn, candidates are continuing to prioritise salary when searching for a new marketing job. This is something that we have seen reflected in our own work, with an average salary increase of 2% this year.

If you’re looking to hire marketers by the end of this year, we would highly recommend benchmarking your salary expectations. This will ensure that you’re in the best position to hire top marketing talent.


Have you considered hiring marketing contractors?

In order to make impactful hires by the end of the year, you should consider hiring marketing contractors.

Did you know that it takes an average of 3-6 months to see a return on investment from your new permanent hire? This doesn’t take into account any holidays candidates might have throughout the second half of the year.

This time period is largely down to the amount of time it takes to onboard and train new hires. As a result, if you need to make a new addition to your team to meet your end of year goals, temporary workers are the best option. Accustomed to joining a business and hitting the ground running, seasoned contractors will be instrumental in marketing teams in H2 of 2023.
