Just Digital was delighted to assist Farfetch in making their first hires in the UK. With huge ambitions and a fantastic product offering, they were dedicated to recruiting the best of the best.
As a new business in an extremely competitive market, Farfetch were challenged with finding a team of senior managers to help develop their international digital presence. The biggest struggle was a lack of brand recognition, which meant that driving candidate attraction directly was difficult.
How we helped
We worked directly with the COO and Digital Marketing Director to implement a recruitment plan focused initially around senior level roles with a view to recruiting executives and assistants beneath them. We worked towards very specific timescales and ensured we were able to shortlist by an agreed date.
Results
We successfully filled four key roles for the business, which developed the initial framework for their digital team. We have then gone on to assist on various ad-hoc requirements.
Assignments we have worked on with Farfetch:
- Head of PPC
- Head of SEO
- Head of Retention
- Online Marketing Manager
- Product Manager
- UX Designer
- Mobile Product Manager
- Russian Site Manager
