BD100 2025 list is now live

As the spring workload intensifies,&nbsp;Ali Wallace, Founder &amp; CEO, DNA Recruit,&nbsp;discusses how to secure the right expertise.
Scaling an agency is exciting, but it also presents you with a unique set of challenges. You&rsquo;ve got the work, the clients, you&rsquo;re pushing into new markets, new service lines, and maybe even new countries. But without the right people in the right roles, it can all start to wobble. And I&rsquo;ve been seeing the same recurring issues crop up for growing agencies.
The big one? Building teams that are both flexible and specialist. Agencies are looking for talent that can pivot across projects without dropping the ball, but also bring deep expertise in a specific channel, audience or format. That&rsquo;s a tough balance. The speed at which campaigns need to be delivered leaves little room for on-the-job ramp-ups, and this is where things inevitably fall down.
Then there&rsquo;s the leadership gap. Agencies often scale faster than their internal culture or management capability can handle. We&rsquo;ve had clients come to us after hiring brilliant creatives or strategists, only to realise they weren&rsquo;t quite ready to lead others. There&rsquo;s a difference between doing the work and enabling others to do it well. The top-performing agencies are addressing this by investing earlier in training and internal coaching than they used to, and by being clearer on what &ldquo;leadership&rdquo; looks like for them.
A few key things I always advise: stop rushing to fill gaps without thinking long-term; align your hiring with where you&rsquo;re actually going, not where you are right now; and don&rsquo;t underestimate the value of a proper hiring process, even when you&rsquo;re busy.
Our role at DNA is to help agencies stop making the same hiring mistakes over and over. We work closely with leadership teams to identify the gaps, define what good looks like, and build hiring strategies that keep pace with growth. Because getting it right isn&rsquo;t just about finding people with strong CVs. It&rsquo;s about building teams that actually work.

Hiring challenges facing brand agencies as they expand

From Print to Pixels &ndash; the seismic shifts seen by marketing agencies
<h2 style="margin: 14.95pt 0cm 14.95pt 0cm;">&nbsp;</h2>
When I founded DNA Recruit in March 2008, Facebook was just four years old, the iPhone had barely celebrated its first birthday, and "digital marketing" was still considered a specialist discipline rather than the backbone of the industry. 
With DNA celebrating its latest anniversary, I looked back over the past 17 years from my unique vantage point &ndash; having worked for marketing agencies at the start of my career to now working with them as a hiring partner &ndash; I've had a front-row seat to what can only be described as a marketing revolution.
<h2 style="margin: 14.95pt 0cm 14.95pt 0cm;">The Digital Paradigm Shift</h2>
The most profound change has undoubtedly been the digital transformation. I started my agency career in the late '90s at MSQ Partners where campaigns were predominantly print, TV, and radio. Digital was often an afterthought.
Fast forward to 2025, and the landscape is unrecognisable. Digital isn't just one element of marketing &ndash; it's the ecosystem in which everything exists. The agencies that thrived were those that adapted quickly, reimagining their structures and capabilities to embrace data-driven decision making, programmatic advertising, and the explosion of social platforms.
Many traditional agencies struggled with this transition, and I've witnessed the painful restructuring processes as they fought to remain relevant. The most successful agencies realised early that this wasn't about bolting on a digital department. It required a complete rethinking of how campaigns are conceived, delivered, and measured.
<h2 style="margin: 14.95pt 0cm 14.95pt 0cm;">From Campaigns to Customer Experience</h2>
Another seismic shift has been the move from campaign-centric thinking to holistic customer experience. When I was running the Bacardi Breezer account in the early 2000s, we would plan big, splashy campaigns with clear start and end dates. Today's agencies operate in a perpetual cycle of engagement across countless touchpoints.
The fragmentation of media has meant that agencies have had to become far more sophisticated in how they reach audiences. The days of reaching 80% of your target market with a well-placed TV spot are long gone. This has created both challenges and opportunities. Marketers now need to orchestrate increasingly complex customer journeys, but they also have unprecedented ability to personalise and target their communications. It really is a different world.
<h2 style="margin: 14.95pt 0cm 14.95pt 0cm;">The Talent Evolution</h2>
Perhaps the most interesting change I've seen, especially given my role in recruitment, is the evolution of agency talent profiles. The account handlers and creatives of 2008 would barely recognise the skill sets required today.
When DNA Recruit first launched, we were primarily placing traditional agency roles &ndash; account managers, planners, creatives, and producers. Today, our briefs include data scientists, UX designers, content strategists, social media experts, and marketing technologists. These are roles that simply didn't exist in many agencies 17 years ago.
The most sought-after professionals now combine creative thinking with analytical capabilities &ndash; the famous "left brain/right brain" hybrid that can both conceive breakthrough ideas and understand the data that proves their effectiveness.
<h2 style="margin: 14.95pt 0cm 14.95pt 0cm;">The Client-Agency Relationship Reset</h2>
The relationship between clients and agencies has undergone its own revolution. The traditional retainer model has been increasingly challenged by project-based work, in-housing, and the rise of specialist agencies.
Clients have become more sophisticated and demanding, requiring greater transparency, more accountability, and clearer ROI metrics. The days of three-martini lunches and wooing clients with lavish entertainment have given way to dashboards, KPIs, and procurement-led pitches.
Yet despite predictions of the agency model's demise, the fundamental value proposition remains strong: outside perspective, creative thinking, and specialist expertise remain invaluable. What's changed is the commercial model and the way value is demonstrated.
<h2 style="margin: 14.95pt 0cm 14.95pt 0cm;">The Pandemic Accelerator</h2>
If digital transformation was already reshaping agencies at pace, the pandemic sent it into hyperdrive. Agencies that had resisted flexible working suddenly found their entire workforce remote. Client meetings, creative reviews, and even production shoots went virtual overnight.
The industry demonstrated remarkable resilience, with many agencies reporting that productivity actually increased. But the pandemic also accelerated existing trends toward more efficient, leaner agency models with fewer overheads. A direction that continues to shape the industry today.
<h2 style="margin: 14.95pt 0cm 14.95pt 0cm;">What's Next for Agencies?</h2>
I&rsquo;m lucky enough to meet with some of the best talent within the industry on a weekly basis and it&rsquo;s absolutely clear to me that the pace of change shows no sign of slowing. 
AI, the metaverse, privacy regulations, Web3 technologies and so much more are going to continue to reshape the industry even faster than it has over the previous 17 years. &nbsp;
But what gives me confidence in the industry's future is precisely what I've observed over the past 17 years . And that&rsquo;s the remarkable ability it has to adapt and reinvent itself. The agencies that thrive will continue to be those that embrace change rather than resist it, that invest in talent, and that find new ways to deliver measurable value to clients.
<h2 style="margin: 12.0pt 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;">DNA&rsquo;s role</h2>
As DNA Recruit celebrates its 17th year, I'm excited to continue playing our part in helping agencies navigate this rapidly changing, but ever so rewarding, industry by connecting them with the talent they need.
The marketing agency of 2042 will undoubtedly look as different from today's as today's does from 2008. But the fundamental purpose of helping brands connect meaningfully with their audiences will remain the constant that underpins all this transformation.

17 years of change in marketing

Talent acquisition teams are under pressure to find candidates quickly. Traditional recruitment methods are failing in today&rsquo;s market. Predictive analytics is the solution by using historical data to predict future hiring outcomes. This technology helps you make better decisions, reduce time-to-hire and improve quality-of-hire metrics.
Top 3 Takeaways
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Data driven recruitment improves candidate quality and hiring success rates.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Predictive tools reduce time-to-hire, increase retention and diversity initiatives.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Implementation requires good data, ethics and proper system integration.</li>
</ul>
What Are Predictive Analytics in Recruitment?
Predictive analytics changes hiring by applying statistical models to existing data. These models find patterns and connections that humans miss. <a href="https://www.dnarecruit.com/sectors/data-analytics">Specialist data and analytics recruiters</a> can then use these insights to make decisions on candidates, hiring processes and talent strategies.
Organisations collect many different data points throughout the recruitment process:
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Application information</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Assessment results</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Interview feedback</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Performance metrics</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Retention statistics</li>
</ul>
Algorithms analyse these data points to generate insights on which candidates will likely succeed in specific roles.
Benefits of Data-Driven Recruitment
Better Candidate Quality
Predictive models identify what makes high performers. Recruiters can then look for those traits in potential candidates. This targeted approach gets better matches between candidates and jobs.
Faster Time-to-Hire
Hiring delays cost organisations money and time advantage. Predictive tools screen candidates and prioritise applications based on likelihood of success. That speeds up the recruitment process big time.
Lower Turnover
Employee turnover disrupts business and costs money. Predictive analytics helps identify who will stay with the company longer. Models look at retention patterns and flag risk factors during the selection process.
Diversity Initiatives
Unconscious bias gets in the way of hiring. Properly designed predictive tools focus on job requirements not demographic characteristics. These tools help companies build more diverse and inclusive workforces.
Data Driven Recruitment
Predictive analytics gives you evidence for your recruitment strategy. Leaders can make decisions based on data not instinct. This means better budget allocation and hire outcomes.
Practical Applications in the Hiring Process
Candidate Sourcing
Finding the right candidates is hard work. Predictive tools tell you where to find the best talent. This insight helps the team focus on high return recruitment sources.
Resume Screening
Manual resume review takes up a lot of time. Predictive algorithms screen against success criteria quickly. This frees up recruiters to focus on the top candidates.
Assessment Selection
Different assessment tools predict job performance to varying degrees. Analytics tells you which assessments correlate to success in specific roles. This correlation improves candidate evaluation.
Interview Effectiveness
Traditional interviews are hit and miss. Predictive analytics tells you which interview questions and formats predict future performance. This helps standardise the interview process.
Offer Optimisation
Top talent is attracted by competitive packages. Predictive models calculate the salary and benefits to secure the preferred candidate. This balances budget with candidate expectations.
Implementation Challenges and Solutions
Data Quality
Predictive models need clean data. Organisations should audit current data and standardise data collection. This is the foundation for accurate predictions.
Ethics
Algorithmic bias is a big risk. Teams should regularly audit models for unfair bias. This is how you keep the hiring process fair.
Change Management
Resistance to new tech can block adoption. Organisations should provide thorough training and show early wins. This builds support for analytics projects.
Technology
Disparate systems limit predictive capability. Companies should prioritise integrated talent acquisition platforms. This is how you get a 360 view of the recruitment process.
Future of Recruitment Analytics
AI Powered Candidate Matching
Artificial intelligence will get even better at matching candidates to jobs. Advanced algorithms will pick up on tiny signals that indicate success. This will mean better hiring outcomes.
Workforce Planning
Forward thinking companies will know what talent they need before the job is even open. Predictive models will forecast skill requirements based on business goals. This will eliminate talent gaps.
Candidate Experience
Analytics will improve the applicant journey. Companies will find and remove friction points in the application process. This will attract more qualified candidates.
Summary
Predictive analytics takes talent acquisition from intuition to evidence-based decision making. Companies that get hold of these tools get a competitive advantage through better hiring. As technology advances data driven recruitment will be the norm not the innovation.
Companies that get predictive now will be the employers of choice. This will attract better candidates and stronger teams. In the talent landscape of the future predictive will be the path to recruitment success.

Predictive Analytics in Talent Acquisition: Transforming Recruitment with Data-Driven Decisions

I&rsquo;ve been leading DNA Recruit for over 15 years and have seen the market change. For 2025 my team and I are seeing peak demand for tech contractors, AI/ML specialists are commanding &pound;800-1200 a day.
Cybersecurity experts are still essential as threats evolve, data analysts are key for businesses going through digital transformation.
My healthcare division is seeing sustained demand for medical professionals and we&rsquo;re seeing rates go up for skilled trades with infrastructure projects and economic changes.
<h3> Current Contracting Roles</h3>
 Technology Specialists
At the heart of this are the Technology Specialists. The demand for AI and machine learning skills is going through the roof as companies are rushing to get these technologies into their business. In 2024 these contractors were commanding day rates of &pound;750-&pound;1,000. It&rsquo;s not a luxury, it&rsquo;s a necessity to automate processes that were previously inefficient and save costs and gain an edge. Companies like IBM and Cisco are bringing in contractors for specific projects to plug the security gaps.
 But it&rsquo;s not just AI. Cybersecurity specialists are in demand too, commanding day rates of &pound;600-&pound;850. As cyber threats get more complex organisations are realising they need skilled professionals to design security frameworks to protect their data. This means those with cybersecurity skills are now part of any business plan.
<h3> Healthcare Professionals</h3>
 The healthcare industry is another area where contractor roles are on the rise. There was a 25% increase in contracting opportunities for mental health professionals from 2022 to 2024. This is due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health across populations. With such a high demand for mental health support services many healthcare providers are looking to fill gaps in staffing quickly and effectively by using temporary staff. Also, we shouldn&rsquo;t overlook nursing and allied health professionals. As healthcare demands increase due to an ageing population and more chronic illnesses, contractors in these areas are presented with lots of opportunities to work in various settings, from hospitals to community clinics. In addition to technology and healthcare, let&rsquo;s explore other emerging sectors where contracting roles are witnessing significant growth.
<h3> Skilled Trades</h3>
Trades are in high demand due to all the construction and housing projects. For example, as governments are spending on infrastructure &ndash; road works or building renovations &ndash; contractors in construction roles are key to getting the project done. Specifically, electrical and plumbing experts are in more demand than ever as industries go green and aim for sustainability and energy efficiency.
Projections show contracting roles in engineering will grow by 15% over the next 5 years &ndash; more space for tradespeople as infrastructure needs increase.
Following closely behind skilled trades are opportunities present in financial services where compliance remains key amidst regulatory updates. Financial Services
In financial services compliance and risk consultancy contractors are key as businesses navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape. As businesses are constantly evolving their strategies with the changing legislation, tax specialists are also in high demand during this transition period.
The demand for tax specialists has grown significantly as businesses look to get their fiscal house in order and comply with new laws.
The diverse range of contracting roles shows how agile industries need to be in 2025 as they look for specialist skills to match the modern challenges. Now let&rsquo;s dive in and see how this will play out.
<h3>Predicting Future Demand</h3>
 As we move to a greener economy the demand for green construction methods will only continue to grow. This is driven by tighter regulations and increased awareness of environmental sustainability. Companies want to stay competitive are investing in energy efficient buildings and materials not only to meet the regulations but to attract eco conscious clients.
Those in sustainable design or green building certifications will have plenty of opportunities in contracting roles.
<h3>Digital Transformation</h3>
Digital transformation is changing the contracting landscape, making everything more efficient and creating new skills. Contractors are not just adapting to new technology, they are rethinking how work gets done. Take for example the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into project management systems. These tools can analyse data patterns and provide insights, save time and reduce errors.
But this requires contractors to have technical knowledge and strategic thinking to use these innovations effectively.
Data analytics can&rsquo;t be ignored. As projects produce more data than ever, contractors need to be able to interpret that data to make decisions. This means training in analytics tools like Tableau or Power BI. A contractor trained in these tools adds value to themselves and their teams by turning data into strategy.
You can&rsquo;t ignore data analytics in this. As projects produce more data than ever projects have before, contractors need to be able to interpret that data to make informed decisions. That means training in analytics tools like Tableau or Power BI. A contractor trained in those tools not only increases their own value but also the value of their team by turning raw data into strategy.
While technical skills are key, soft skills are important too.
Flexibility has never been more important. With technology and methodologies changing all the time, being able to adapt and learn quickly will be what sets contractors apart. Those who can learn new concepts quickly and apply them well will be in high demand &mdash; especially as businesses try to navigate the changes brought on by digital platforms.
Remote working has changed the way people interact, making strong communication and emotional intelligence crucial skills for contractors to have.
One example of this is the growth of virtual reality (VR) in design work. Contractors in fields like architecture or engineering can now include VR walkthroughs in their client proposals, to engage and educate clients on complex projects. This innovation not only improves the presentation but also the outcome of the project.
So contractors should consider training in:
● &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Project management software: Asana or Trello.
● &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Data visualisation: Tools that turn data into pretty pictures.
● &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Collaborative platforms: More advanced use of digital tools mentioned above.
But navigating these digital changes isn&rsquo;t without its challenges.
For contractors, mastering new technology means adopting a lifelong learning approach; it&rsquo;s not just about knowing how to do your job but about continuous learning in your field. Organisations will prefer contractors who invest in their development, who have scalable skills that match the future. Those who adapt will find themselves well positioned in this changing world.
As these trends shape the industry landscape, it's vital to consider how individuals and organisations can prepare themselves for success in this evolving environment.

We have become aware of an increasing number of scams where individuals are posing as our&nbsp;recruiters to deceive unsuspecting job seekers. These fraudulent messages appear to be primarily&nbsp;circulating on WhatsApp, although they might not be restricted to this platform. The intent of these&nbsp;scams is unclear, but it&rsquo;s widely believed within the industry that the goal is to harvest personal&nbsp;information, often facilitated through the hacking your WhatsApp contacts.
At DNA Recruit Ltd, we prioritize your privacy and are fully committed to GDPR compliance. Protecting your trust and ensuring a secure recruitment process is our top priority. Please keep in mind: While our recruiters may use WhatsApp to communicate with candidates,&nbsp;they will never reach out without prior consent or as an initial point of contact.

<ol>
<li>Not listed on our website: If the person contacting you doesn&rsquo;t appear on our &lsquo;Meet the Team&rsquo; page, reach out to us to confirm their affiliation.</li>
<li>Unrealistic offers: Beware of job opportunities that seem too good to be true, such as extremely high pay for little effort. They likely are.</li>
<li>Unexpected outreach: Be cautious if you receive a job offer from an unknown number or without any prior interaction.</li>
<li>Lack of specifics: Scammers often provide vague or incomplete information about the job or company. Always verify the credentials of the organization before proceeding.</li>
<li>Requests for personal information: Genuine recruiters will never ask for sensitive details like bank account numbers or ID documents at the start of the process.</li>
<li>Unprofessional tone: Watch out for messages with poor grammar, unprofessional language, or email addresses that don&rsquo;t match our official domains (@dnarecruit.com or @dynamicnewalliances.com).</li>
<li>Suspicious websites: Double-check the legitimacy of any website, especially those that appear poorly designed or incomplete.</li>
<li>Urgent demands: Scammers often create pressure to rush your decision-making. Take your time to validate any offers.</li>
<li>Request for money: Authentic recruiters will never ask for fees for processing applications or securing job placements.</li>
<li>No interviews: A proper recruitment process typically includes at least one face-to-face or video interview.</li>
<li>Instincts matter: Trust your gut. If something feels off, it likely is. If you suspect you&rsquo;ve been approached with a fraudulent message or job offer claiming to be from DNA Recruit Ltd, refrain from engaging. Instead, contact us directly at hello@dnarecruit.com.</li>
