In our very first episode of The Big Idea podcast, Grant Perry, Brian York and Natalie Eagling spoke about the challenges of finding the right marketing talent. For marketers, of course, there is an equal challenge in finding the right company to work with and convincing them you are the best person for the job.

So, what’s the solution? How do you side-step the restrictions of impersonal interviews that offer limited opportunities to find out what talent and skills candidates can bring to the table?

Here at The Agora companies, we’ve run bootcamp-style recruitment initiatives for a few years now, which have proven to be very effective in bringing in the right talent. In this week’s The Big Idea podcast, Grant Perry speaks with the two newest additions to the AIM team, Will Palmer and David Jackman, about their experience at the marketing bootcamp held in Ireland earlier this year, and what attracted them to work for The Agora companies in the first place.
