The Watts Group Recruiters

Smart Hires Start Here.

Our Story

Back in 1987, Linda Watts had a vision—to connect top talent with the best advertising and marketing organizations out there. And just like that, The Watts Group Recruiters was born. Since then, we’ve been building incredible relationships with both our clients and the rockstar professionals we place.

We’ve teamed up with the best companies and agencies across the country, finding the right people for the right roles. And as the industry evolved, so did we; expanding into SaaS, martech, adtech, and sales to help businesses find top-tier talent in those spaces, too.

Yes, we love working with agencies, but we also partner with companies looking for marketing and communications pros. For nearly four decades, we’ve placed candidates at every level—whether it’s creative, media, account management, sales, strategy, communications, design, project management, or business development. You name it, we’ve got it covered.

Because at the end of the day, it’s all about people and making the right connections.

Our Team

We’ve all worked in advertising and marketing ourselves, so we know the industry inside and out. That means we don’t just read job descriptions—we get what our clients are looking for and what truly makes a great candidate.

People come to us because they know we speak their language. We go beyond the bullet points on a resume or job posting to understand the real needs behind the hire.

And here’s the thing, we genuinely care. We know that the right hire isn’t just about filling a role; it’s about making a lasting impact. That’s why we’re with you every step of the way, making the search feel less like a process and more like a partnership.
