Pertemps appoints specialist to bridge UK marketing AI skills gap
Pertemps has bolstered its expertise in marketing and AI recruitment with the appointment of a new specialist consultant.
As one of the UK’s largest independent recruitment specialists, Pertemps provides temporary, permanent and contract staff across a wide range of sectors.
AI and data are transforming marketing, yet most UK companies are struggling to keep pace.
Research from The Access Group shows 70 per cent of employees using AI are learning on the job, with just 19 per cent receiving formal training.
Many HR teams and marketing leaders are still experimenting, leaving organisations without the expertise to make AI work effectively.
As marketing shifts from campaign-driven approaches to continuous, data-led strategies, demand for hybrid talent, combining creativity, analytics, and technology is skyrocketing.
Organisations with skilled teams are racing ahead, while others risk falling behind.
In response to this growing demand, Pertemps has appointed Jamie Miller as division manager of its new specialist marketing division.
With over 12 years’ experience placing top marketing talent, Jamie will support organisations in filling critical roles such as CRM specialists, marketing automation experts, performance marketers and growth-focused leaders.
Helen Hibbert, director of Permanent Recruitment at Pertemps, said: “Marketing is evolving faster than ever, and access to the right talent is now a key competitive advantage.
“Jamie brings exceptional expertise to lead our new division, connecting organisations with professionals who can make a real difference.
“Investing in talent now ensures teams are future-ready and able to compete in an AI-driven landscape.”
The division leverages LinkedIn’s AI-powered Recruiter+ platform to map talent pools, identify candidates by skill, and engage top professionals quickly, helping clients build high-performing marketing teams equipped for today and tomorrow.
Jamie (pictured) added: “I’m thrilled to join Pertemps to lead this specialist division. Our goal is to match businesses with marketing professionals who can drive growth in an increasingly data- and AI-driven environment.
“It’s exciting to help clients build teams that aren’t just ready for today but prepared for the future.”
