Hi, my name is George Western and I’m a Recruitment Consultant at 3Search. I partner with high growth organizations across North America, providing marketing, digital and sales staffing solutions.
Coming from a background of software engineering, I have a level of technical expertise that allows me to completely understand an employer’s needs. Getting to know the companies I work with is my favourite part of the role. Being able to make a difference in companies and candidates’ lives from the opposite side of the world is a real achievement.
The market is incredibly competitive at the moment. Everyone wants to be in crypto, so you need to have a resume that stands out from the crowd. Think about what you have achieved in your previous roles and how this can impact the companies you’re applying for.
“What can you do to show you’re actively interested in the space and that it’s something you’re passionate about?”
I believe that being personally invested in your industry can go a long way. Go above and beyond outside of your workplace by writing a blog, for example, or building a portfolio. What can you do to show you’re actively interested in the space and that it’s something you’re passionate about?
Staying fresh and connected in the world, is especially important as the crypto market is changing.
If you’re looking to hire as crypto undergoes this period of change, it's important to prioritise employee retention. Don't hire for hiring’s sake – be calculated with your staffing decisions and grow organically.
Employer branding matters and can impact your career opportunities later on.

Andrew is a fantastic recruiter who is highly effective and a pleasure to work with. He has the hard skills needed to evaluate you as a candidate, present the opportunity in the clearest way and put you forward to the hiring manager and company. He also has the soft skills. He is calm, has a human approach, where he truly takes and interest in you as a person and candidate. Lastly, he is an excellent communicator, highly responsive and responsible. Andrew is top notch, and I would recommend him to any company or candidate.
Andy Larkin worked with me to help me find a CRM role after being made redundant, and was absolutely brilliant with finding me roles I was interested in, as well as prepping me and keeping me up-to-date with the processes. Would definitely get straight in contact with him if I was scouting for a job in the future.
I had the pleasure of working with Andy when he had reached out and placed me in a senior marketing leadership role. He was not only professional and transparent throughout the entire process, but always demonstrated genuine interest in my needs and would put in the time to prep me and ensure I was well-equipped going into each interview round. While the process was long, he never waned in his energy and was always checking in to ensure I was still happy and feeling confident in the role, without putting any pressure on my decision. He is unlike any other recruiter I have worked with in the UK - an absolute true partner from beginning to end and extremely passionate about his job. I would highly recommend working with Andy and the 3Search team, any candidate or company would be lucky to work with them!
Charlie and his team have done an excellent job for us recently. We were restructuring the Marketing team earlier in the year and had several different positions to fill. I was impressed by the way at the outset he took time to understand the organisation, our ambitions and strategy and then was able to shortlist of excellent candidates. We've had three excellent hires and two of those have been midst COVID which was very tricky to manage ! I'd definitely recommend.
I would like to highly recommend 3Search. My experience with Charlotte Titmuss was outstanding, since the first contact via Linkedin Charlotte was very responsive and efficient, always making me feel I was the top of her priority during the process. She kept me updated at all times and also provided a lot of support during the interview stage. At the end when I had to decide between two jobs, going for the one Charlotte offered was a no brainer, she understood what I needed and negotiated with the employer to make sure we both were more than happy. Thank you so much Charlotte!
I had the pleasure of working with Chris Hugo after he approached me about a job opportunity. Chris went above and beyond to help me secure the role. He regularly checked in with me at each stage of the recruitment process to offer interview guidance and was on hand to answer any queries I had. Above all, Chris' personable approach really stood out to me and created a really positive experience. I would definitely work with Chris and 3Search again in the future.
Working with David Bremner and 3Search was a real breath of fresh air. What bid professionals actually do is sometimes misunderstood by employers and recruiters, alike. So, speaking with a recruiter with a deep knowledge of the different bid roles, the crucial skill-sets and how the market experience that you have matches with a customer's needs really is worth its weight in gold. Once David and I had spoken about a few different opportunities, it was clear that the role being an actual good fit was very important to David, much more so than just simply filling another requirement and moving on. The research, context and preparation for your interviews that David provides is exactly what you need in order to put your best face forward and shine. Within just two weeks of working together, we had secured an exceptional assignment that fits my skills, ambitions and values. I recommend David and 3Search very highly as a truly sound option in a sea of recruitment noise. Thank you, guys.
I know David both in the capacity of being placed in my current role, and as a client of his helping me recruit my team. I have found David trustworthy, empathetic to the needs of our business and a realist in his qualification of candidates - he spends time getting to understand the brand values and culture of a business, works hard to understand the team dynamic and sorts effectively candidates that would shine in that opportunity. He provides great consul and guidance during latter stages & offer and follows up regularly taking feedback honing skills for future placements. Great guy, highly recommend.
George is one of the best headhunters in the web3 space and I can't recommend working with him enough. George goes above and beyond to find good placement for job seekers while simultaneously being mindful of the nitty gritty details like salary requirements, time frames, and more that come up on a job search. George doesn't work just 9-5 but is always available to communicate, get meetings scheduled, provide interview debriefs, and foster any connections made day or night. If I was searching for a career change, George is the first person I would connect with, and if I was looking to fill a role, he would be the first person I would ask to fill that position.
Giulia is an amazing recruiter with a true professional and personalized approach. During the recruiting process I felt like I was dealing with a caring friend who wants the best for me other than just a recruiter. Not only the position was tailored for my experience and objectives but also the whole onboarding process was filled with very friendly, laconic and informative communication. All went extremely smooth and in a very supportive, detail-oriented, and caring manner. Definitely would highly recommend Giulia!
Gracie Sparks really smashed it out the park for me. With a quick turn around time of just 12 short days, she managed to secure me a dream role. She is ridiculously efficient, professional and really wants to get to know you for the right placement. She very clearly knows her stuff and is all around an incredible individual to work with, in fact, the best recruiter I've ever worked with. If you've got Gracie on your team, you're always going to win. Thank you again Gracie, I couldn't recommend you enough. Keep up the hard and excellent work.
Working with Hannah Glazebrook was an absolute delight! She went above and beyond to ensure that I was prepared for the recruitment process and was completely accommodating of my situation. Professional, helpful, knowledgeable and supportive don’t begin to cover what a great recruiter I have dealt with over the past couple weeks. Thanks again Hannah you superstar!
A big thanks to Jaemien Serrano for finding me a great opportunity, one that ticks all the boxes and was just what I was looking for. Jaemien was a pleasure to work with, was always friendly and available to offer advice, and worked incredibly hard to make the process run efficiently and smoothly. Many thanks again!
Working with Jasmin was great! She provided a huge amount of value throughout the interview process, and gave actionable insights into the clients she worked with which ensured I was fully prepared for each interview. The whole process was quick & straightforward and everything ran smoothly at the offer stage. I’d 100% work with Jasmin & the 3Search team in the future.
My entire experience was fantastic and seamless. My recruiter Jonathan Catt made sure I understood what an overview of the process would be like from the beginning and made sure he followed up with me through every stage. I couldn't be more grateful or happy with the outcome which was a job with a company culture I love!
Katie Scott is the best recruiter I have worked with, no doubt about it. Katie approached me on LinkedIn with a few positions that she thought were a good fit for my skills and was upfront and open about the process with each company right from the start - salary expectations, the company culture, the type of person needed for the role. She listened to what I had to say and what I needed from my next role and recommended a few roles to me based on what I needed. Once the process had started with one of the companies, Katie kept me updated and informed at all times, even helping me prep for the interviews and making sure that was actually a good fit for the company culture before I was too far in the process. I've never felt more supported in a recruitment process and Katie's personable and honest communication was key in making the experience great.
Exceptionally professional recruitment firm. Lauren and her colleagues matched me to the perfect role, kept me updated throughout the process, and responded promptly to all emails and calls. In fact, the journey from initial LI reach-out to job offer could not have been smoother. I trusted Three to represent my interests whilst balancing the needs of the hiring firm and they delivered. Thank you Lauren and team!
Lewis helped make a typically stressful process, as seamless as possible. He was always checking in on me and put my mind at ease between interviews and down to the final offer, while answering any questions I had with full transparency and honesty - both which I feel like is rare amongst recruiters in general. Highly recommend working with him for your job search!
Liz has always been more than a recruiter - a go-to on career advice, someone to bounce ideas off, support on approach for structure… all while placing some of the most talented individuals I’ve had the pleasure of working with. All with energy and insight, no matter the challenge.
I had the best experience finding a new role with Lottie at 3search. She kept me in the loop about my application and chased the hiring company on my behalf when I wanted an update. She was a professional and very friendly recruiter; I would not hesitate to use or recommend her again in the future!
Lucy Hannaford was so helpful and positive. My experience with 3Search was brilliant and Lucy kept me updated at every step and cheered me on the whole time. 10/10 recommend!
3search has been a great find in my job search. Matt Stevenson is an excellent consultant. He is proactive in looking out for the right candidates and he has the skill to match them to the right jobs. He has been of great help to me personally, as he reached out to me with a role that I was actually interested in and was well matched to my skills set. He kept a tab on the process throughout and helped me get in touch with the organisation when I needed to, right until I converted the interviews into a final offer. In all, I highly recommend 3search and especially Matt Stevenson as a recruitment consultant!
Michael has been a great help in securing a role during the Covid-19 pandemic. Working with him has been quick, easy and efficient. He kept me updated every step of the way which hasn’t always been my experience of recruitment agents and he was friendly and down to earth throughout. I’d recommend anyone looking for their next post to reach out to Michael!
I would highly recommend 3Search. Olly reached out to me via LinkedIn with a really interesting role he thought would be a great fit for my experience. Throughout the application and interview process he was very supportive, giving me advice and feedback at each stage of the process. Once we reached offer stage, Olly was fundamental in securing me a great offer and regularly checked in during that process. Thanks so much Olly for helping me secure my new role and making the process as painless as possible!
Rowan was incredibly professional, efficient, honest and he listened, giving great input and ensuring we worked together on next steps with a role I eventually landed. Would absolutely recommend Rowan and 3Search again, and won’t hesitate to get in touch when I am ready for my next role.
Sam Locke was amazing throughout the entire process of placing me in a new role. She reached out to discuss a role she thought I may be interested in (which I was), talked me through it, talked me through the interviews, and eventually when I got the role helped to communicate to the employers for me to ensure I was happy with the offer. She was always available to answer any questions I had and nothing was too much trouble for her. She is without a doubt the best recruiter I have had the pleasure of talking to/working with and will absolutely reach out again in the future. I have also recommended Sam to a friend who is looking for a digital role because of the great experience I had.
Sarah Andrews has been the best recruiting consultant I have ever spoken to. She really listened to what I was looking for and really scoped out roles that were a good fit. Sarah gave me so much support during the interview process too and was fantastic at checking in with. She has helped me land a fantastic new role and I couldn’t say enough great things to explain my experience.
Scarlett helped me secure a role within Internal Communications that suited my skill set and aspirations to a tee. Her communication throughout the process was first-class, and I couldn't be any more grateful for her advice and guidance throughout the application process. Above and beyond doesn't quite cover it - her personable and friendly approach allowed me to present the best version of myself at every stage, and secure a fantastic new position. Thank you Scarlett.
I secured my new role using 3Search and would definitely recommend them to those in the bid industry. I worked with Stuart Watson who I found really approachable and helpful…he also listened and responded to my needs and didn’t push me into anything I didn’t want to do/any roles that wouldn’t suit me. His communication has been excellent and he has continued to check in with me even after securing the first role. Thanks Stuart, I am looking forward to starting my new job next week.
I recently used 3Search to hire for a specialist CRM role. Suzannah, their CRM recruiter, really understood CRM and the detail of the skills that it requires. She asked excellent questions and truly understood what we were looking for. She supplied a pool of outstanding candidates in a tough market. We had a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend them.
Was on the hunt for a job and I was contacted by Taylor Nash who gave me the opportunity to apply for a new role in a new sector. She was very professional kept me informed throughout the whole process and even had meetings with me to talk through presentations and interview prep. She was always there to answer any of my questions and helped me negotiate my terms. The level of professionalism was of the highest standard and was she was easy to talk with and get helpful tips from. 3Search are a great company to use if looking for a new opportunity.
Very helpful and efficient - Tommaso was fantastic. Helped me through every step of the process (provided background, interview help and general tips) and secured me the role I was looking for. A great experience. Would highly recommend!
Will Shaw helped me to secure my dream job! He was really professional, communicated well and was there for me every step of the way during the interview process. Will prepped me for my interviews and cheered me on throughout, which I really appreciated and it made me feel confident in the process that can often be quite daunting. He is one of the best recruiters I've come across and I would 100% recommend him to anyone who is looking for new job opportunities!
I had a great experience working with Olly. From the initial outreach about a new opportunity through to the end of the hiring process, he was very responsive to any questions and concerns and supportive in building the bridge between me and the hiring team. I recommend Olly to anyone looking for their next exciting role!
George is one of the best recruiters I've worked with in my career. He's extremely diligent, very communicative and reliable. I felt like he always had my best interest in mind and would advocate for me in the interview process. He's also very kind and easy to work with. All in all, a fantastic experience working with George!
George didn't just land me a new role - he was communicative, helpful, and gave insight that drastically helped me during the hiring process. I can't thank him enough for empowering me to get hired. Lifechanging effort!
We reached out to 3Search as we needed help with an external senior hire in the global team. I knew 3Search had done a lot with the wider Brand, Marketing and Communications team at US so were well placed to help. We gave Olly a brief and he turned around an excellent shortlist of high-calibre candidates around quickly. From that shortlist we met with some exceptional candidates and were left with a number of options to make the eventual hire. Olly was highly consultative throughout and felt like a great extension to our internal team. I’d recommend him to other hiring managers looking to make key hires.
3Search and the team (specifically Andrew Stoves and Jonathan Catt) have supported our team at InfoTrack in hiring a couple of roles recently. Both roles had been vacant for a little while and we wanted to bring 3Search in as a partner to help get some good, targeted resumes. On both occasions working with 3Search, I knew that we were speaking to a knowledgeable and experienced recruitment partner who could help us fill these roles quickly. The team took the time to understand InfoTrack, the team, the requirements for the roles and what we felt would be the best fit for the person both experience wise and culturally (having met with a significant amount of people previously). On both occasions, within a matter of days they had provided us with shortlists of well matched candidates. The process was seamless and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending 3Search and Andrew and Jonathan as a recruitment partner for any of your marketing or digital marketing recruitment needs.
Working with Olly at 3Search was a fantastic experience. Olly was really prepared in understanding who I was as a candidate. Professional throughout the process making the experience feel seamless and supported. With a clear understanding of the industry, role, and client he was representing I felt like I had someone in my corner throughout the process providing honest feedback. With that insight he was able to guide me through interviews and the offer process, ultimately helping me secure a great new leadership position. He made himself available whenever needed, despite the time difference, and kept me well informed. I’d enthusiastically recommend Olly and 3Search to both candidates and hiring managers.
Owen placed me in a senior management role. Owen’s skills and experience were a very big factor in making this placement happen. Firstly he used the powers of his insight to identify that I was a good fit with the business and could deliver on the requirements for the role. Secondly he is extremely thorough and detail oriented - Owen made certain that I went into every interview for which there were 4 rounds totally prepared to answer to the business’s requirements and understand the specific needs and outlook of each individual which I interviewed with during the process. Lastly Owen is very personable – there were a number of challenges that came up during the recruitment journey which Owen handled with both care and grace. I highly recommend Owen as both a recruiter and a good person to work with.
Owen is uniquely plugged in to the product/tech space and was able quickly curate a very strong slate of available candidates for me - all on target and representing a cross-section of experience and skill sets. Highly recommended if looking for similar roles.
Owen Dearn was a huge help throughout the entire recruitment and interview process. He not only identified a role that was an excellent fit and discussed the opportunity with me in detail at the offset, but also provided updates on daily check-ins throughout the interview process, which was very appreciated.
