Hire once. Hire right.

We are not a volume agency. We do not send you a stack of CVs and disappear. We find you the right person and we are with you every step of the way.

Who we work with.

Ruby Magpie works with businesses of all shapes and sizes across marketing, communications, digital, social, sales and creative, B2C and B2B. What our clients have in common is not their size. It is that they care about getting the hire right.

Why Ruby Magpie.

You get Suze, not a junior consultant.

When you work with Ruby Magpie, you work directly with someone who has hired her own teams, built her own network and spent 15 years getting this right. Not an account manager you have never met.

We know your industry.

Our expertise is in marketing, digital, sales and creative. We understand the roles, the skills and the culture, which means we ask better questions and find better candidates.

Fewer candidates. Better ones.

We will not flood your inbox. Every candidate we put forward has been interviewed by us, profiled in depth and genuinely considered for your specific role and team.

How we work with you.

The briefing.

A proper conversation, not a quick call. We get under the skin of the role, the team and what good actually looks like before we start looking.

The search.

We go to our network first. We know who is open to a move and who would be worth approaching. If the right person is not there, we go and find them.

The shortlist.

We interview every candidate ourselves, skills fit and team fit. You get a small number of genuinely strong candidates, each with a full 360 degree profile. No padding.

The interview.

You meet the people we have been backing. We coordinate everything, prep both sides and coach on interview technique if it is useful.

The offer.

We guide you through to the finish line, including the tricky bits like counter offers and competing opportunities.

Most searches take around two weeks. When you need to move faster, we do too.

What our clients say.

"I probably progress 85 to 90% of the candidates Suze puts forward and consistently hire from her shortlist. I consider Suze more of an ally than a recruiter."

Chris Falconer
CCO, McCann Demand

"Suze has helped us with a number of roles at Full Fat, both permanent and freelance, often working to very tight turnarounds. She is quick to understand what we are looking for and has consistently sourced excellent, on brief talent that aligns with our values, all at impressive speed."

Paul Joseph
MD, Full Fat

"I have been working with Suze and Ruby Magpie for over 10 years. From board level roles to junior positions, freelance to permanent, Suze consistently delivers. I trust her completely to take charge and get results every single time."

Kavita Bhuller
Head of People, Publicis Groupe
