Hume Scope · Marketing & BD Strategy

Build a pipeline that doesn't rely
on who you already know.

We help recruitment agencies build consistent, systematic business development that generates new client relationships, not just activity.

For agencies whose pipeline is too dependent on referrals and repeat clients.

Most agencies are great at delivering. The gap is a consistent flow of new client conversations.

BD that's reactive, not systematic

It happens when the desk is quiet rather than as a daily discipline. No real system, and no way to predict where the next client is coming from.

Invisible to the clients you want

You do great work but the right clients don't know you exist. No content strategy, no consistent presence, nothing to find before they need you.

Tools but no strategy to use them

A CRM, an email platform and a LinkedIn presence that aren't working together. The data is there but it isn't being turned into pipeline.

Six areas that turn marketing effort into real pipeline.

Not just a strategy document. We work alongside your team to build, run and optimise the systems that actually generate client conversations.

What we work on ↘

Niche and positioning clarity

Your most profitable markets, and a positioning that makes you the obvious choice in that space rather than one of many.

Email campaigns and database marketing

Segmenting your database, targeted sequences, salary guides, market reports and value-add campaigns that keep you front of mind.

LinkedIn and content strategy

A visible, credible presence that generates inbound enquiries: personal brand for owners, team content and market knowledge turned into content.

Reverse marketing and candidate-led BD

Structured processes that turn strong candidates into client meetings without the cold call.

Job ad chasing programmes

Identifying companies actively hiring and running structured outreach to convert them: research, email sequences and follow-up cadence.

Website tracking and lead intelligence

Knowing who's visiting your site and what they're looking at, with automation that alerts consultants to follow up at the right moment.

Systematic. Scalable.
Yours.

We work alongside you, not just in front of you.

Not a strategy document handed over at the end of a workshop. We build, run and refine the systems with you so they actually get used.

From agencies we've worked with on BD and marketing.

"Ez has been my sales coach and advisor, helping me refine my personal brand and improve my sales techniques and processes. As a solopreneur, it's valuable to have someone to bounce ideas off and workshop things through. He always adds value at every step and every interaction."
Sangeetha Pillai, Founder & Director, FSP
"I worked with Ez on a private training program, driving a noticeable shift in client engagement. The approach was practical for a high-resistance market. Ez introduced a clearer structure, leading to more consistent activity, more client meetings, and better focus."
