In this film, Gareth Helm speaks with headhunter Rowan Fisk, founder of Growth Kind, about how the senior recruitment process really works and what marketing leaders can do to improve their chances of being found, shortlisted and hired.
The conversation covers how recruiters build a brief, map the market, create longlists and shortlists, and assess candidates against both essential and desirable criteria. Rowan explains why senior marketers need a clear proposition, strong commercial evidence, a focused LinkedIn profile and a confident narrative about the problems they solve. He also shares practical advice on career gaps, networking, personal brand, AI-written CVs and why relying only on LinkedIn job applications is rarely enough at senior level.
The film is particularly useful for CMOs, marketing directors and senior executives who want to understand how headhunters think, how to stand out in a competitive market, and how to approach their next career move with more clarity and confidence.
