Welcome to Stopgap – the UK’s leading independent marketing recruitment agency. Operating across the complete marketing spectrum, our dedicated recruitment teams ensure you get the very best in freelance and permanent marketing jobs!

Established in 1993, we were the first Freelance marketing recruitment agency in the UK.  18 years on and we’re now as well known for our permanent marketing recruitment service as our freelance offering. 

We’re not your typical marketing recruitment agency and we don’t want you to have your ‘typical’ experience of marketing recruitment.  At Stopgap, we pride ourselves on our ‘positively different’ approach, remaining true to our guiding principles of integrity, daring, passion, agility and collaboration.

Stopgap is constantly recruiting for a wide range of freelance and permanent marketing jobs. Our recruitment consultants handle FMCG marketing jobs, agency jobs, digital marketing jobs, direct marketing jobs, market research jobs, PR and internal communications jobs and marketing jobs within the professional services sector.
