Don't Just Take Our Word For It

Laura was a pleasure to work with from brief to offer. She gave us some great advice on our JD to manage our expectations and she totally "gets" marketing. I felt completely confident with her screening candidates and the quality of candidates we received was really high. I'd work with the Match Making (Up Talent) team again in a heartbeat.

I'm so glad we worked with Laura to help find the latest addition to our creative team. She totally understood what we were looking for and was so helpful and positive throughout the whole process. Would definitely recommend!

Mairi Hughes Lead Designer at Urban Legend

For those looking for their first marketing hire, you've landed in the right place. As a specialist Marketing Hub, Up World made it very easy for us to find our perfect candidate. They have a vast reach and we had hundreds of applications. They then helped to whittle them down to the top candidates of which we interviewed. This saved us time and made us more confident that we were talking to the right people. 10/10 would recommend!

Will Plowden Founder at The Roost

Honestly couldn't recommend Match Making at Up World more highly. Genuinely the best recruitment process I have ever experienced.

Libby Nicholson Head of Brand at Peters Yard

Everyone at Up World has genuinely been a pleasure to work with. I have had the pleasure of being on both sides of your hiring process and have nothing but GREAT things to say.
