Automation & CRM recruitment

Marketing Automation Recruitment

Hire CRM, lifecycle and automation specialists who can connect systems, customer journeys, lead handling and marketing data without creating a maze nobody else understands.

Automation is useful when it removes friction. We look for candidates who can simplify the workflow, document it and explain what should happen when something fails.

Employer perspective

Marketing automation roles are becoming broader as CRM, AI and workflow tools converge.

A role may involve HubSpot, email journeys, lead scoring, CRM hygiene, integrations, n8n-style workflows, AI-assisted processes or marketing operations. The technology stack matters, but so does the candidate’s ability to reason about the process.

We define which systems are already in place, what needs to be connected, who owns the data and whether the role is primarily operational, technical or lifecycle-focused before sourcing.

What we look for in automation candidates

  • Process thinking before tool configuration.
  • CRM, data and lifecycle understanding appropriate to the role.
  • Ability to troubleshoot integrations and document workflows.
  • Healthy scepticism about automating a broken process simply because the software can do it.

Roles and capability

What employers typically ask us to find.

The exact shortlist depends on the business, seniority, working model and level of hands-on responsibility.

Practical screening

The best automation candidates map the workflow before they build it.

We pay attention to clarity. If somebody cannot explain the trigger, data flow, exceptions and intended result in plain language, the automation often becomes harder to maintain than the manual process it replaced.

Questions worth answering before the shortlist

  • Can they map the process before automating it?
  • Can they troubleshoot data and integration failures?
  • Can they document what they build?
  • Can they decide what should stay manual?
