KLEKT
KLEKT is one of Europe’s leading online sneaker markets. A platform for sneaker merchants to trade their most sought-after sneaker and streetwear items.
Our work with KLEKT
3Search has worked closely with KLEKT’s CEO, Sally Scott, a number of times over the past few years in different businesses and we have always been able to help her hire strong talent into her businesses. So, when Sally joined KLEKT in 2020, she got back in touch with us to discuss a number of opportunities that she was hiring for.
These roles were across a number of different functions, but mainly within marketing which would be headed up by their new Marketing Director, Sarah Wilkinson. In 2020, we successfully hired...
- Marketing Director
- CRM Manager
- Social & Content Manager
- Operations Director
Building long-lasting relationships
3Search Director, Michael Judkins, had previously been successful in placing Sarah Wilkinson in her last role with Sally. Consequently, when Sally hired her to work at KLEKT, it was great to see that relationship continuing beyond our initial introduction.
We were asked to help Sarah hire a number of roles across Performance Marketing, Social & Content, and CRM. Michael, alongside specialist recruiters, Jasmin Eastwood and Andy Larkin made up the delivery team for this specific team build. Their individual specialities ensured that the team was best equipped to fill each role effectively and efficiently. Jasmin specialises in Performance Marketing, whilst CRM is Andy’s speciality.
Developing new marketing teams
This brief was for a completely new team to be built in the UK since KLEKT’s operations were moving from central Europe to London.
Ideally, our specialist team were looking to find candidates with experience in the footwear or sneaker industry who could bring a strong knowledge to the team as well as the necessary skills. The team also had to focus on finding candidates who wanted to join a fast-paced, high-growth business. The ability to work and thrive in this environment was discussed when interviewing all potential candidates.
Chris Moore was successfully placed as the Online Content & Social Manager for KLEKT.
Identifying modern E-commerce leaders
One of the roles that KLEKT needed to hire was outside of the core offering of marketing and our specialist team were briefed on finding an E-commerce Operations Director.
Although this is a role that we would not normally cover, Michael felt confident that he could find some quality candidates for such an important role. His extensive knowledge of the e-commerce landscape combined with his excellent candidate resourcing capability assured Sally that we could deliver.
Michael started by mapping the market to identify a number of businesses that he could approach candidates from. He focused on those who had experience working in a digital-first environment. After a successful selection and shortlisting process, Paul Clark stood out as the favoured candidate, and we helped to secure him a new role in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hear from our successful candidates...
Jasmin was absolutely brilliant to work with. Her communication was continually on point and her support throughout the whole recruitment process was second to none. Ensuring that I received the best offer possible and what worked best for the company is something I cannot help but admire. Thanks Jasmin and best of luck with everything going forward.
3Search are a great agency for both clients and job hunters! I had a brilliant experience with Michael when he placed me in an amazing role as Marketing Director for Birchbox. Since then, he has not only worked with me to recruit team members at Birchbox but also in my new role at KLEKT where he has helped me build a first-class marketing team from scratch. I would recommend everyone at 3Search because they really take the time to both support you through the process as a job hunter as well as taking the time to really understand the role requirements as a client.
Absolute pleasure dealing with Michael. Very professional and friendly, he kept me informed at all stages of the recruitment process which I really appreciated. I'd definitely recommend working with him.
Now...
We look forward to the possibility of continuing to help KLEKT grow in the coming years. The future of the sneaker market is an exciting one.
