Recruitment,
with agency DNA
At G&L Talent, we understand the unique demands of the advertising and creative sectors. Based in Leamington Spa, our independent agency specialises in connecting talented professionals with leading agencies across strategy, paid media, programmatic, and beyond. Rooted in the agency world, we bring genuine insight and expertise to every recruitment partnership, ensuring the perfect match for both candidates and clients.
We believe in Specialists first. Recruiters second.
Who we are
G&L Talent was created to fix the gap in recruitment for the media industry. Our founder, Aaron Gautier-Lamb has over a decade of experience in paid media and advertising, and saw that recruiters often missed the real nuances of agency life. We bring true agency insight to recruitment, ensuring a better fit for both candidates and agencies.
Our name comes from our founder’s surname, Gautier-Lamb, inspired by his daughter who one day asked whether Gautier meant ‘Goat’. In this case "Goat" stands for ‘Greatest of All Time’ - top performers - and "Lamb" symbolises new talent ready to grow. This reflects our commitment to supporting talent at every career stage.
Today, G&L Talent is a boutique recruitment partner for media and creative agencies across the UK. We go beyond CVs to connect the right people with the right roles, combining speed with understanding. For agencies, we deliver quality candidates who truly fit. For candidates, we offer a partner who understands your world and champions your growth.
How we work
-
Credibility
Over a decade inside media and creative agencies means we speak your language. We know the difference between good on paper and great in practice - and only recommend talent we’d hire ourselves.
-
Nuance
No two agencies - or candidates - are the same. We take time to understand the details: team dynamics, client mix, culture, and personality fit. It’s that depth that makes the match work long-term.
-
Care & Insight
People first, always. We combine genuine care for candidates with real insight into what agencies need. The result? Placements that feel right - for the person and the business.
