SEO Recruitment Agency
Hire technical SEO specialists, SEO managers, local search operators and content-led SEO talent who can diagnose problems, prioritise work and execute.
We look past tool screenshots and terminology. The question is whether the candidate can identify what is wrong, explain why it matters and improve search visibility.
Employer perspective
Plenty of people use SEO language. Far fewer can show results.
SEO CVs can look impressive while hiding a major difference between someone who has used SEO tools and someone who can make good decisions when rankings, indexing, traffic quality or technical performance go wrong.
We help employers narrow the field by looking for practical understanding, prioritisation, communication and evidence that the candidate has worked through real search problems rather than simply repeated checklists.
What we look for in SEO candidates
- Technical judgement around crawling, indexing, canonicals, redirects and site structure.
- Ability to use Search Console, analytics and SEO tools without treating the tool as the strategy.
- Commercial awareness: which pages, queries and problems actually matter to the business.
- Clear communication with developers, content teams, clients or leadership.
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.
SEO Managers
Strategy, prioritisation, reporting, team coordination and stakeholder communication.

Explore this recruitment specialism →Practical screening
A good SEO can explain what they would do before touching the site.
For senior or specialist roles, we pay attention to how candidates reason through an unfamiliar problem. A useful SEO should be able to separate symptoms from causes, identify priorities and explain trade-offs without hiding behind a software score.
Questions worth answering before the shortlist
- Can they diagnose before prescribing?
- Can they prioritise revenue-impacting work?
- Can they explain SEO to non-SEOs?
- Can they work with content and development teams?
