The Perillo Group is a marketing recruiting firm that recruits for the two rooms where this work happens: agencies that live and die by client work, and in house teams that carry a company’s growth. We run direct hire searches for marketing, creative, and design roles across the country. Marketing hiring is portfolio and proof hiring. The resume is the least interesting document a good marketer produces, and we recruit accordingly.

Marketing and Design Roles We Fill

• Marketing managers and directors
• Digital marketing specialists and managers
• Brand and product marketing roles
• Public relations and communications roles
• Agency account executives and account managers
• Content and social media roles
• Graphic designers
• Interior designers and design studio roles
• Product and digital designers

We recruit for advertising, branding, public relations, and digital agencies, for design studios, and for in house marketing teams across the industries we serve.

How a Marketing Search With Us Works

Marketing searches fail when the brief asks for everything: strategist, designer, writer, analyst, and media buyer in one person, at a salary for half of one. We run it the other way.

1. The brief comes first. What this hire actually owns in the first year, the book of work or book of business behind it, and the portfolio or results that will decide it.
2. A short list, not a long one. A small number of candidates whose work matches the role, with portfolios and results ready to review and an honest read on each.
3. Feedback in days, not weeks. Creative talent judges a company by how it responds to work. Silence after a portfolio review reads as a verdict.
4. An offer that lands. We test compensation against the current market in week one, including what it takes to move agency talent in house and the other way around.

Terms That Remove the Risk

Every search we run is direct hire. There are no upfront fees, and every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the person does not work out in the first 90 days, we run the search again.

National Reach

We are based in the Philadelphia area and recruit marketing and design professionals nationwide. Creative communities are small and reputation travels fast in them; we recruit with that in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to use a marketing recruiting firm?

Nothing upfront. We work on a direct hire basis: you pay a fee only when your hire starts, agreed in writing before the search begins. If we do not fill the role, you do not pay for the search.

Do you recruit for agencies or in house teams?

Both. We recruit marketing, creative, and design roles for agencies that live on client work and for in house teams that carry a company’s growth.

How do you evaluate marketing candidates?

Portfolio and proof first. The resume is the least interesting document a good marketer produces, so we look at the work, the results it drove, and how the candidate talks about both.

What if the hire does not work out?

Every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves or is let go within the first 90 days, we run the replacement search at no additional fee.

Do you recruit outside your home area?

Yes. We are based in the Philadelphia area and recruit marketing and design professionals nationwide.

I am a marketer or designer considering a move. Does it cost me anything?

No. Candidates never pay; the hiring company pays our fee, and every conversation is confidential.
