Lamplighter Digital

Lamplighter Digital is based in Bentley Heath, near Birmingham, and works with internal recruitment and talent acquisition teams rather than general marketing clients. The agency was founded by Steven, who describes prior experience working with large, FTSE 250 brands on talent attraction strategy. Its focus is recruitment marketing, also referred to as talent attraction, covering the full hiring journey from employer branding through to onboarding, with the stated aim of helping organisations reduce agency costs and improve return on investment for talent acquisition budgets. The agency's declared services include search engine optimisation, branding, content marketing, web design and web development, applied specifically to recruitment and employer brand contexts such as careers sites and job adverts. A core offering is a Candidate Experience Review, which assesses the clarity and consistency of the candidate journey across social channels, careers sites, job adverts, the application workflow, and post-application communication through applicant tracking systems. Work also touches on employer branding and social storytelling as ways to present organisations as employers of choice, alongside consultancy on optimising recruitment systems and hiring processes to help internal teams find suitable candidates more efficiently. The team size is small, between one and ten people, and the agency positions its approach around building candidate experiences treated with the same care as customer experiences, based on clear company values rather than novel interview formats.
