Frequently asked questions
What makes 2A Works different from other marketing recruitment agencies?
We bring a rare combination of marketing expertise and recruiting experience. Our roots in a B2B tech-focused marketing agency give us firsthand knowledge of how modern marketing teams operate. That insight helps us evaluate creative and strategic talent more effectively and match them with companies where they’ll thrive.
What types of roles does your marketing recruitment company specialize in?
We recruit for a full range of marketing roles, from generalist to highly specialized and from entry-level to executive. We stay current on evolving trends in marketing and actively source talent for both established roles and emerging skill sets across content, brand, digital, demand gen, product marketing, and more.
How does your marketing recruitment agency find talent that understands technology?
With over a decade of experience supporting tech clients, we specialize in placing marketers and creatives who not only understand complex products and technical concepts, but can also explain and illustrate them in ways that resonate with audiences. We look for candidates with a proven track record working in technical environments, strong collaboration with product or engineering teams, or a demonstrated interest in technology through past roles, education, or personal curiosity.
Do you offer both marketing staffing and recruitment services?
Yes. We offer flexible contract staffing for short- and long-term marketing needs, as well as direct hire recruiting for full-time roles. Whether you’re filling a short-term gap or building a long-term team, we can tailor our approach to fit your goals.
What are the benefits of working with a specialized marketing recruiter instead of a general recruitment agency?
We’ve spent more than 10 years recruiting for marketing roles across the tech industry, and we hire for our own creative agency as well. That gives us a nuanced understanding of the skills, team dynamics, and evolving tools that matter in this field. We know what great marketers look like because we work with them every day.
Can your marketing recruiters help fill leadership roles like CMOs or Marketing Directors?
Yes. We can place marketing leaders at all levels, including Heads of Marketing, CMOs, and Marketing Directors. We tailor our approach to leadership searches with additional consultation, careful scoping, and a targeted outreach strategy.
How fast can your recruitment company fill open marketing roles?
Once we’ve aligned on the role and requirements, we typically present a shortlist of vetted candidates within two to 10 days. Timelines can vary based on role complexity and your internal hiring process.
What’s your replacement policy if a hire doesn’t work out?
If a placed candidate leaves or is not a fit within the first 90 days, we’ll replace them at no additional cost. You’ll continue working with the same recruiter to ensure consistency and a smooth handoff.
How does your marketing recruitment agency vet candidates before shortlisting them for open client roles?
All shortlisted candidates are phone screened by our experienced recruiters to confirm their skills, background, communication abilities, and fit for the role. Depending on the position, we may also review portfolios, request work samples, or use technical assessments to evaluate capabilities.
For creative and content-focused roles, we draw on more than a decade of experience evaluating designers, writers, and marketing professionals. In addition to reviewing portfolios, our recruiters assess brand voice, visual style, and industry context to ensure each candidate aligns with your team’s goals and aesthetic.
How does 2A Works recruit diverse talent?
We take a thoughtful, proactive approach to building diverse teams. That includes writing inclusive job descriptions, sourcing from diverse candidate networks, and actively reviewing our process to reduce bias. We also build long-term relationships with professionals from underrepresented backgrounds to expand access and representation across our talent pool.
What information do your recruiters need to get started?
To kick off a search, we’ll need details about the role’s responsibilities, required experience, target compensation, and whether it’s remote, hybrid, or in-person. We also work to understand your team’s workflow, brand voice, and goals, because the more context we have, the better equipped we are to find the right fit.
