Recruitment Marketing Agency

Making scroll-stopping recruitment marketing accessible and affordable. For everyone.

Our Story

Founded in 2020, Halt is a specialist recruitment marketing agency on a mission to make recruitment brands impossible to ignore. We blend creativity, strategic thinking and decades of recruitment industry experience to help our clients attract candidates, win clients and build brands that leave a lasting impression.

We started in a spare bedroom during the pandemic, armed with big ambitions and slightly less desk space than we’d have liked. Fast forward a few years and we’ve grown into one of the recruitment industry’s most respected marketing agencies, supporting more than 300 recruitment agencies, talent businesses and in-house talent acquisition teams across the UK, US, UAE and Australia.

Turns out, starting in a spare room wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
