How Cemoh compares to a traditional Canberra recruitment agency
Same goal — the right marketer in your business. A very different way of getting there.
| Comparison area | Cemoh | Traditional agency |
|---|---|---|
| Choice of talent | Australia's largest pool of vetted marketers — 779+ to choose from | Limited to whoever they can source for the brief |
| Speed | Curated shortlist within 48 hours | Weeks of searching, advertising and screening |
| Ways to engage | Freelance, part-time or permanent — switch as needs change | Usually permanent placements only |
| Who does the vetting | Senior marketers — we vet on craft, not keywords | Generalist recruiters screening résumés |
| Marketing expertise | Run by marketers who know what good looks like | Recruiters, not marketers |
| Commitment | No lock-in — scale up or down whenever you need | Large upfront placement fee for a fixed, permanent hire |
Frequently asked questions about marketing recruitment in Canberra
Answers to common questions about hiring marketing talent in Canberra through Cemoh.
Do your Canberra marketers understand government audiences?
Many do. Selling to or communicating on behalf of government is a specialist skill, and a meaningful share of our Canberra network has worked with public sector procurement, tenders and institutional stakeholders rather than just consumer brands.
Can Cemoh help not-for-profits and member organisations in Canberra?
Yes. The ACT has a dense concentration of associations, peak bodies and not-for-profits, and we can match you with marketers experienced in membership growth, advocacy campaigns and stakeholder communications.
Is flexible marketing support realistic for a Canberra organisation?
Very. Freelance and part-time arrangements suit many Canberra organisations that have steady but not full-time marketing needs, and they let you bring in senior expertise for a specific program without creating a permanent role.
How much does it cost to hire a marketer in Canberra?
Cost depends on whether you hire on a freelance, part-time or permanent basis, and on the seniority of the role. For freelance and part-time engagements, our consultant rate guide sets out typical hourly and project rates. For permanent placements, our recruitment fee generally starts at around 15% of the candidate's first-year salary.
