Selective Global Search in the Advertisement and Media Sector

We believe that changes in this sector are already reflected in hiring, especially in the hiring of digital marketing or sales professionals. With video content expected to overtake the printed word, the demand for well-rounded professionals is only bound to increase.

Professionals hired in this space usually belong to a younger demographic and managing attrition levels in this age group can leave a company frustrated. We want to reduce a company’s business losses in ensuring that we hire talented workforce who can turn out to be long-term assets for the company.
