Recurring Revenue Blueprint
From contingent recruiter to strategic talent partner
The recruitment model is under pressure
Contingent recruitment is dying: competition, TAs, AI, cost pressures, unpredictable pipeline, and recruiters working roles for free.
But businesses still need to hire. They don't want cold sales processes with limited guarantees.
What they need are strategic partners that understand their workforce, their hiring challenges, and long-term needs.
Many agencies are seeing either their models eroded, or their clients demanding more. We're at the perfect time to evolve recruitment's offering.
The agencies that win will look different
Forward thinking recruitment businesses are shifting towards:
Subscription-based hiring models
Workforce planning retainers
Embedded talent partnerships
Advisory and talent strategy services
They're benefitting from stickier client relationships, creating:
Services clients commit to — not just placements
Predictable recurring revenue
Stronger, longer-term client relationships
Higher-margin, more scalable growth

Testimonials
When Catherine joined 3Search, our marketing was almost non-existent. We had organically grown a solid brand but there was no strategy in place. During her role with 3Search, Catherine drove this across key channels such as Events, Digital and Content.
She, along with her team, have driven significant MQL's generating hundreds of thousands of pounds of revenue and set us up as the clear market leader in our space.
I have no doubt Catherine would be an asset to any organisation looking to do similar.
Catherine really is a powerhouse of marketing prowess! Her ability to analyse and plan to meticulous detail really is astounding, and what she doesn't know - isn't worth knowing. There aren't many marketers who have a solid grasp on SEO, but Catherine is one of them!
Aside from her knowledge and obvious skill, she is an absolute pleasure to with. She listens well, executes when necessary and has impeccable communication.
Having collaborated with Catherine on numerous projects over the years, I am continually impressed by her exceptional ability to identify opportunities for generating B2B leads.
Her strategic approach and unwavering focus on achieving the end goal of attracting high-quality leads to drive revenue are truly remarkable. Catherine's skills and foresight are invaluable assets to every project she undertakes.

When we decided to reposition and rebrand Revoco, we knew we needed the expertise of an experienced recruitment marketer who truly understand the industry.
Catherine has been nothing short of incredible throughout the entire process. She's worked closely with me to shape our marketing strategy, refine our positioning, and sharpen our messaging, ensuring everything aligns seamlessly with our new vision for Revoco.
I'd highly recommend Catherine to any recruitment business looking for a strategic, hands on marketer to elevate their brand and marketing.
