Your team was awesome. You thoroughly understood the role and the company he presented me to. You were always available and quick to find answers for me. It’s not easy to come by great executive recruiters and you are definitely one of the best!

Your team listened very carefully to our brief, and provided us only with candidates who are highly qualified and highly motivated. You didn’t just throw a bunch of names in our face and make us do the work. We were very satisfied with the candidates we interviewed and ultimately thrilled with the one we have hired.

Your team really listened to our needs and probed when things weren’t clear or consistent. You also suggested changes to our process which ended up working better for us.

Talentfoot has a deep understanding of the marketing needs of today's business environment, identify great candidates, assess their capabilities and follow-up to finalize the search.

Talentfoot and Patrick spent the time to learn about our organization, our wants, our needs, and our weaknesses, helped shape the search criteria, and gave real feedback on the candidates you produced. Other firms should be embarrassed. They are poseurs compared to our experience with Talentfoot.

We were very pleased with Talentfoot’s work on the search, with many extremely high-caliber candidates to evaluate and work through throughout the process. The team did a great job of telling our story to build and maintain candidate interest and moved the process forward efficiently. We are thrilled to have our first choice candidate come on board.

FAQs

What industries does Talentfoot specialize in?

When marketing leadership can make or break your company, you can’t afford to guess. For over a decade, we’ve been the go-to marketing executive search firm for companies that refuse to compromise. We’ve placed transformative CMOs and marketing leaders across every sector – from early-stage startups racing to $1M ARR to PE-backed powerhouses scaling past $500M.

Our deep roots in marketing mean we understand exactly what it takes to succeed in your space. That’s why thousands of companies, from ambitious Series A ventures to established industry leaders, trust us to build their marketing leadership teams. We don’t just fill roles – we architect marketing organizations that drive explosive growth.

What is Talentfoot's success rate in marketing executive search?

Our 98% success rate in marketing executive search isn’t an accident – it’s the result of a carefully crafted approach that stands head and shoulders above traditional recruiting (which typically hovers around 65%).

What makes the difference? It starts with our team of former marketing leaders who actually understand the nuances of your needs. We don’t just match keywords; we dig deep to understand the unique challenges your marketing organization faces. This consultative approach, combined with our extensive networks built over decades in the marketing space, means we can identify and attract talent others simply can’t reach.

While most firms treat executive search like a transaction, we deliver a white-glove experience at every step. From initial strategy sessions to final offer negotiations, we’re not just filling a role – we’re partnering with you to architect your marketing organization’s future. This high-touch approach is why our clients don’t just fill positions – they build lasting marketing teams that drive transformative growth.

The numbers tell the story: our 98% success rate isn’t just 30% higher than traditional recruiters – it’s the difference between settling for “good enough” and landing truly exceptional marketing leadership.

Can Talentfoot help me hire for non-executive marketing roles?

Absolutely! At Talentfoot, we bring the same rigor and expertise to hiring non-executive marketing roles as we do for C-suite positions. We understand that these roles are crucial drivers of business success, and we evaluate candidates based on a range of key metrics to ensure a perfect fit.

For roles like Directors of Demand Generation or Senior Brand Managers, we focus on measurable achievements such as lead generation numbers, conversion rates, and campaign ROI. We look for candidates who have a proven track record of hitting and exceeding KPIs, whether it’s through innovative digital marketing strategies or successful product launches.

We also assess soft skills that are vital for success in these roles, like adaptability, leadership potential, and cross-functional collaboration. Our seasoned team leverages its deep marketing expertise to go beyond resumes, diving into candidates’ ability to drive growth and navigate complex market dynamics.

By combining these thorough evaluations with our extensive candidate networks, we’re able to deliver top talent who not only meet your requirements but also elevate your marketing efforts. Whether you’re building a team to support your new CMO or filling strategic roles within your existing structure, we’ve got the expertise and insights to make it happen.
