For candidates

A recruiter who
listens first.

For senior practitioners working across biddable, programmatic, ad ops, data, sales and planning, who already work fluently with the tools the team relies on. One real conversation at the start, then matched briefs only.

Tell us what you do How we work
How we work with you

A real conversation, then we go.

i.
A 25-minute call
No CV scrape. What you do now, what you would like next, what tools show up in the work, and how the rhythm of the role has shifted in the last year. You leave with an honest read on where the market sits.
ii.
Matched briefs, not blasts
When a mandate fits, the brief arrives written as a short editorial covering the role, the team, the compensation and the politics. When nothing fits, you do not hear from us.
iii.
In the room through the process
Preparation, debrief, compensation, counter-offer, relocation, equity. The conversation stays close to the work rather than getting handed off to a different consultant the moment the offer goes out.
iv.
After the placement
A structured ninety-day check-in with both sides, built into the engagement so neither party has to chase it.
What we commit to

Four commitments.

i.

No spam

You hear from us when there is a role worth your time, not as a way of keeping a pipeline warm.

ii.

Honest reads

If you are not right for the brief, you get told so, and you get told why. The information is more useful than the introduction would have been.

iii.

Real market intel

Salary bands, hiring climate, and what biddable, programmatic and planning teams actually look like inside the kind of company you might be heading toward.

iv.

One conversation

One consistent point of contact across the whole search, rather than being handed around to a different consultant at each stage.

Common questions

Honestly answered.

i. What kind of background are you looking for?

Senior practitioners across biddable, programmatic, ad ops, data, sales and planning, with a track record inside the marketing and advertising industry. If you can talk specifically about the work you've shipped and what's working inside the team, that is the conversation Yellow & Bloom wants to have with you.

ii. Will my data be used to train a model?

No. Candidate data is not sold, not shared beyond a live engagement, and not used to train anything. The data sits inside the Yellow & Bloom systems for as long as it is useful to your search and no longer.

iii. What if I am not actively looking?

Most of the senior practitioners Yellow & Bloom places were not actively looking when the first conversation started. Tell us where you sit, what is interesting in the role, and what would actually move you.

iv. Which specialisms do you cover?

Biddable Media, Programmatic, Ad Operations, Data & Analytics, Sales & Partnerships, and Media Planning & Strategy. Adjacent roles inside the marketing and advertising ecosystem are considered case by case.
