What our clients say

Jenny Biggam

CEO, The 7 Stars

“I’m a big believer that the single biggest differentiator for a media agency is its people – ahead of process, strategy or scale. To be successful, agencies need the ability to recruit really well – which isn’t easy when there’s a talent shortage in the industry. The team at dotgap have access to a diverse candidate pool and take the time and trouble to get to know their candidates well. Many of our stars originated from dotgap, which is why we keep going back to them.”

Pedro Avery

CEO, Arena Media

“Keith and his team invest significant time listening to our needs and then makes sure the candidates fit, not only the role and its objectives but most importantly the culture of the company”

Dan Harris

MD, m/SIX

“dotgap are a preferred recruitment partner, particularly in the digital space. Not only do they fully understand the media agency dynamic; they understand that personality fit is equally if not more important than experience and skills base. They tend to find great candidates quickly and can react to inevitable changes to briefs with minimum fuss. Highly recommended.”

Pete Robins

Founder, agenda 21

“We own an agency and that agency is only as good as its collective intelligence. And the collective intelligence entirely down to our people. We work with Keith and his team because they get our DNA, they get what we are about, our ambition, our challenging standards, and that means they get us the right people. It’s as simple as that.”

John Kimbell

Founder, Navigate Digital

“Keith and his team have made a huge difference to our business. We task dotgap with helping us to recruit smarter and in turn improve the ‘talent density’ of the Navigate team and they deliver time and time again. Unlike many recruiters they take the time to understand our business and the job specifications we supply, which in turn means we end up seeing a much better quality of candidate and subsequently employee. Ultimately this has a huge impact on the dynamic of our team and the way we work with our clients.”
