How we screen
Three dimensions, written into every read.
Every shortlist Yellow & Bloom puts forward is screened across the same three dimensions, and each candidate arrives with a one-page written read covering all three.
i.
Track record
What the candidate has actually shipped, at what scale, inside what kind of team. The conversation moves quickly to numbers rather than adjectives, and the written read records what was learned.
ii.
Role fit
The work as it sits today inside the hiring team, not as the job description describes it. Calibrated in a ninety-minute brief with the hiring lead before the search starts moving.
iii.
Network depth
The best senior talent isn't always actively looking. After 10+ years inside this market, we know where to find the practitioners who aren't on job boards — and how to make them pick up.
Who we are
Founded by recruiters who've done the work.
Yellow & Bloom was built by recruiters with over a decade of experience placing senior talent across the marketing and advertising industry — across the US, UK, and Europe.
We are not a volume shop. We are a boutique search firm. Every brief receives dedicated senior attention, and every shortlist is the result of hundreds of hours of structured screening and relationship-building, not keyword matching.
We know the roles we fill because we've filled them before — many times over.
Exclusive, not a free-for-all
We work on one firm per brief — no race against five other agencies, no incentive to flood your inbox. Your role gets full attention until it's filled.
Senior attention on every brief
No junior researchers passed your role. The person who meets you is the person who screens your shortlist — every time.
Written reads, not keyword stacks
We screen for how candidates actually work — the work they've shipped, the teams they've led, the judgment they've earned. Not just job titles and tenure.
Long-term relationships
The best talent isn't always actively looking. After 10+ years in this market, we know where to find the people who aren't on job boards.
