Attracting the Best PPC Talent in a Competitive Market

In the dynamic world of digital marketing, Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising stands out as a critical driver of online success. However, finding genuinely skilled PPC professionals is akin to unearthing rare gems. I am asked on multiple occasions to find these rare gems for brands across the UK and here are my top tips for attracting true PPC talent.

Demonstrate that you can provide Professional Development: Good talent with a growth mindset want continuous learning opportunities. Provide access to courses, certifications, workshops, and conferences. Encourage employees to stay current with the latest PPC trends and technologies. PPC platforms like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and Microsoft Advertising frequently update their features and algorithms – give your employee every opportunity to stay ahead with their current knowledge.

Retaining this talent is going to be key, so think Career Advancement! Create and demonstrate clear career paths and advancement opportunities within your organisation. Regularly discuss career goals with your PPC team and provide mentorship to help them achieve these goals. Good PPC experts neither want to, or can afford to stand still when technology is moving at pace.

Finding exceptional PPC Talent in a busy market will always throw up it’s challenges. Working with Talent Guardian who have a network of talent, in the area you are looking to hire in, will always win head and shoulders above any advertising. This can reduce your time to hire, protect your brand and allow you to recruit the ‘best of the best’ that won’t already be in your network and won’t always be clicking apply!
