We've been in recruitment marketing long enough to see the same problems on repeat. Kitto is built to solve them.
We Love
Recruitment
And we're experts in marketing recruitment businesses.
Define your market position and voice
Create consistent visibility for your audience
Build engaged communities
Accelerate conversations for consultants
Our Mission
Recruiters spend huge amounts of time doing marketing activities. Posting on LinkedIn. Sharing insight. Building relationships. Sending outreach. Staying visible in their markets.
But in many agencies, marketing as a function comes much later.
It's often one person, if that. Or something consultants are expected to figure out themselves.
We work with recruitment businesses to bring structure and direction to that activity.
How we work
Unsure where you need to start?
Discovery session
We get to know your business, your goals and what you want marketing to support.
Define the strategy
We define your positioning, audience and what you want to be known for.
Build your universe
We turn that into a practical marketing plan with clear priorities.
Stand out and grow
Your account lead works with our specialists across content, design, video and social to deliver the work.
Define and refine
We review what’s working, refine where needed and keep marketing aligned to commercial goals.
We know
recruitment
We work best with growing recruitment agencies.
Whether you have an internal marketer who needs strategic direction or delivery support, or a fully outsourced marketing partner, here’s how we make it work.
Key Problems We Solve
Problem 01
Marketing Doesn't Work
First, ouch. Second, if 'marketing' currently means a half-finished PowerPoint, 1,000 hours on SEO and a LinkedIn company page nobody touches, then no, that wouldn't work. We make it work by finding out what you want to achieve, who you want to reach, and what your agency should be known for. From there, we build a straightforward marketing strategy designed to support the conversations your consultants are already having.
Problem 02
LinkedIn’s a Waste of Time
Don't get us wrong, your holiday looked great and the paella was massive. Personal posts aren't the problem. But if that's all your audience sees, it's hard for them to work out what you actually do. Used properly, LinkedIn is one of the most powerful visibility tools recruitment businesses have. We help your consultants build credible personal brands that generate intrigue, interest and, most importantly, conversations.
Problem 03
I Have No Idea What Hire to Make
A copywriter? A designer? A videographer? A marketer? Hiring one person usually means getting a specialist in one area, when what you actually need is a blend of strategy, content, creativity and visibility. With us, you get all four for the same money.
Problem 04
You Can't Measure ROI on Marketing
Actually, you can. We just set it up properly. We get into your CRM, make sure your reporting works, and attribute revenue across the full marketing funnel. Then we report on it every month, so you always know exactly what your marketing is returning."

Strategists who've been in the seat, plus designers, writers, video producers and social specialists. No generalists, on-site as much as you need us, tracking the data and proving the ROI every month.

FAQ
Got questions? We've gathered the most common ones here, along with simple, helpful answers to guide you through.
When should a recruitment agency invest in marketing support?
From day one. A rising tide lifts all boats, and investing in marketing early gives you the best possible chance of getting real value from it. Rather than spending on consultants who overpromise and underdeliver, put that budget into marketing that builds visibility, pipeline and momentum from the start.
Do we need an internal marketer to work with Kitto?
No. Some clients use Kitto as their full outsourced marketing function. Others already have an internal marketer and use us for strategy, specialist support and delivery. Both setups work.
What's the difference between Outsourced and Wraparound Marketing?
Outsourced Marketing means we are your marketing function. Wraparound Marketing means we work around an existing in-house marketer or team, giving them strategic direction and specialist support to strengthen what they're already doing.
How long does it take to see results from recruitment marketing?
Marketing in recruitment builds momentum over time. Stronger positioning, consistent visibility and useful content help your consultants become more recognisable in their market. Most businesses begin to see stronger conversations and inbound opportunities within the first few months.
What type of recruitment businesses does Kitto work best with?
Most of the agencies we work with are between 10 and 100 people. They're already successful but want clearer positioning, stronger visibility and more structure behind their marketing activity.
How do we get started?
The easiest place to start is a short conversation. We'll look at your current marketing setup, your goals and what would make the biggest difference to your business.
