recruitment marketing, and nothing else
founded bristow & hardy
recruitment agencies served
Before founding Bristow & Hardy, Sam was a high-billing recruiter himself, so he knows the industry from the inside. He started B&H in 2018 after watching agencies waste money on generalist marketing that didn't understand them. Eight years on, B&H does only one thing: marketing for recruitment companies. He now leads mission control personally for every client. Until we scale, you're getting him directly.
We're not for everyone. That's by design.
The five things recruitment agency owners tell us they actually want from marketing leadership.
Senior judgement on every call, so you stop guessing and start backing the work that actually moves revenue.
A roadmap that says what to do next, and what to ignore. Your marketer stops firefighting.
Your marketer spends their time where they're strongest, with senior backup for everything else.
Marketing that runs to a rhythm every month, not in bursts whenever someone finds the time.
One senior partner owns the outcome alongside you, reviewed properly every quarter. The buck stops somewhere.
