Best marketing and RevOps recruiters (2026): who hires marketers, and on what terms

Marketing and RevOps recruiters hire the people around a revenue team: demand gen, product marketing, content, design, marketing operations, and revenue operations. Some are contingency search firms for permanent employees. Some staff contractors. Some match you with a vetted freelancer for a few months.

Quota-carrying sales hiring, which overlaps at Betts and Captivate, is on GTM and sales recruiting agencies. A part-time marketing leader, which is a different contract from a recruiter, is on fractional CMO firms.

Key takeaways

  • Betts Recruiting and Captivate Talent hire marketing, customer success, and RevOps people at technology companies, alongside sales roles.
  • Aquent and Creative Circle (Everforth) staff marketing, design, and creative talent on contract and permanent terms. 24 Seven and Mondo cover digital marketing and contract-to-hire.
  • MarketerHire and We Are Rosie match companies with vetted freelance or fractional marketers. Salt recruits digital talent globally.
  • Robert Half staffs marketing and creative roles inside a larger staffing firm.
  • Published placement percentages are rare. MarketerHire says matches can happen in under a week and that each engagement includes a two-week trial.

Tech marketing, customer success, and RevOps

These two firms also appear on the GTM and sales recruiting list because they hire sellers. Here the focus is marketing, customer success, and RevOps.

Betts Recruiting

Go-to-market recruiting agency for sales, marketing, and customer success roles at tech companies, from SDRs to CROs, including RevOps.

Fee schedules for the sales side are on GTM and sales recruiting agencies.

Captivate Talent

Recruiting firm for sales, marketing, customer success, and RevOps at high-growth technology companies, plus executive search for revenue leaders. It describes a shortlist in the first two weeks.

Vetted freelance and fractional marketers

These are a fit when you need a senior marketer for a project or a few days a week, and you do not want to open a permanent search. A fractional CMO firm that stays on as leadership is a different model, listed under fractional CMO, CRO, and sales leader firms.

MarketerHire

Network of vetted freelance and fractional marketers across growth, paid media, content, lifecycle, and brand. The site says companies can be matched in under a week, and that each engagement includes a two-week trial.

Best for: A senior freelance marketer on a short timeline

Fees: Rates depend on the marketer and the hours. A public placement percentage is not listed. The site says there is a two-week trial.

We Are Rosie

Marketing talent network that matches brands with freelance marketers for projects and embedded work. The site says engagements do not require a retainer.

Best for: Project-based brand, content, and marketing work

Fees: Fees not published as a rate card. The site says there is no retainer.

Fees are from each firm's own site as of November 2026. Where a firm does not publish a rate, the card says so. This is an opinionated list, not a paid ranking, and nobody paid to be on it.

How to choose a marketing recruiter

A permanent RevOps hire and a six-week content contractor should not go through the same firm. Ask which of those they did last month, and whether they will also try to place your current marketers elsewhere.

  • Permanent seat: ask for contingency versus retained, and the fee basis.
  • Contractor: ask who employs the person, and what conversion to full-time costs.
  • Freelancer network: ask how people are vetted, and what the trial covers if the match is wrong.
  • RevOps specifically: ask for placements that owned CRM, routing, and reporting, not only campaign roles.
  • Get off-limits terms so the firm does not recruit your current team during the search.

The marketer still needs a system to work in

A recruiter fills the seat. OneGTM does not recruit marketers. We build the outbound, routing, and CRM system a revenue team runs.

If RevOps is the gap and you want a firm to operate it, that is fractional RevOps. If you want the system built and handed over, start with RevOps.

  • Routing rules live in someone's head.
  • Marketing and sales disagree on what a qualified meeting is.
  • The CRM cannot show which source produced pipeline.

Marketing and RevOps recruiting FAQ

Who recruits marketing and RevOps talent for tech companies?
Betts Recruiting and Captivate Talent hire marketing, customer success, and RevOps people at technology companies, along with sales roles. Aquent, Creative Circle, 24 Seven, Mondo, Salt, and Robert Half staff marketing and creative talent on contract or permanent terms. MarketerHire and We Are Rosie match freelance and fractional marketers. Fees are mostly unpublished.
How much do marketing recruiters charge?
Permanent search is usually a percentage of first-year pay, and these firms do not publish the percentage. Contract staffing is a markup on the person's rate. MarketerHire prices by the marketer and the hours, and says each engagement includes a two-week trial. We Are Rosie says it does not charge a retainer. Ask for the fee basis before the search starts.
Should I hire a RevOps recruiter or a fractional RevOps firm?
A recruiter finds a person you employ. A fractional RevOps firm does the work itself for a period. Use a recruiter when you want a full-time owner. Use a fractional firm when you want the operating system improved before you hire. Both lists are on this site.
What is the difference between a creative staffing firm and a freelance network?
A staffing firm such as Aquent or Creative Circle usually employs or contracts the person and bills you. A network such as MarketerHire or We Are Rosie introduces a vetted freelancer for a project or a part-time engagement. The contract and the benefits sit in different places. Ask who the employer of record is.
Does OneGTM recruit marketers?
No. OneGTM builds outbound, routing, and CRM systems. The firms on this page do the recruiting.
