What makes us different
At TheZoo.London, we’re on a mission to transform executive search by blending human-centered insights with innovative hiring strategies that prioritise talent, smart commercials, and agility.
Our team of experienced media executives brings deep market expertise and collective wisdom to every project. We go beyond simply sourcing candidates—each one is thoroughly vetted and personally interviewed by our founders, Marco Bertozzi and Rachel Forde, ensuring alignment with your brief and delivering the highest quality talent.
What sets us apart is our hybrid approach. By tapping into both full-time employed candidates and our extensive Consultant Collective of senior experts, we accelerate hiring timelines without compromising on quality or fit.
We’ve also reimagined the traditional commercial model to better serve our clients. Payments that reflect the key milestones important to you; we reduce upfront risk and ensure you only pay for true value, putting results first.
At the core of our process is a Talent-First philosophy. We create a positive, streamlined experience for candidates by offering purposeful interviews through our CORE™ approach, clear communication, and robust coaching and onboarding. This not only improves outcomes for clients but also builds stronger reputations for the businesses we partner with, enhancing processes and driving better talent retention.
Our values—Be Smart, Be Kind, Be Honest—are reflected in every interaction. We’re committed to doing what’s right for both clients and candidates. Our agility allows us to adapt quickly to market demands, while our use of technology ensures efficiency without losing our human touch.
TheZoo.London isn’t just a search firm; we’re a human business driven by innovation, delivering exceptional hiring experiences for all.
