Hiring in Leeds has never been more competitive. The city is thriving – home to tech startups, growing SaaS platforms, marketing agencies, and national brands expanding their northern presence. But with this growth comes pressure. Pressure to move quickly. To secure high-performing talent before competitors do. To find people who not only meet the brief but also elevate your culture, product, or service.
At Live Digital, we’re a specialist recruitment agency in Leeds helping forward-thinking employers secure the talent they need to grow – across SaaS, Digital Marketing, Data Analysis, and Project Management roles. If you’re building a digital team in Leeds and need a recruitment partner that delivers speed, precision, and strategic insight – you’re in the right place.
Hiring is no longer just about filling seats - it’s about securing the competitive advantage. But most internal teams face the same hurdles.
You’re probably already feeling the strain: a flooded inbox of irrelevant CVs, lengthy time-to-hire, great candidates dropping out of process, and poor-quality applicants from generic job boards. Perhaps you’re struggling to attract the right candidates outside of London. Or maybe you’ve used other recruiters who promised much and delivered little.
These problems cost time, slow down growth, frustrate stakeholders, and damage your employer brand.
At Live Digital, our mission is to remove the friction from your hiring process. We bring you talent that is aligned, ready, and capable of driving results – without draining your time or budget.
We’re not a transactional agency. We don’t send out ten CVs and hope one sticks. We work as a genuine partner - helping you solve real business problems through better hiring. Our approach is rooted in five key pillars:
We don’t claim to do everything. We focus on the roles we know inside-out - and the ones Leeds employers struggle with the most.
In SaaS recruitment, we support start-ups and scale-ups with hires such as Account Executives, BDRs, Revenue Operations Managers, and SaaS-focused Customer Success talent. We also work on non-technical Product Manager and Growth Marketing roles within SaaS businesses, helping build cross-functional, high-output teams.
Within Digital Marketing, our Leeds clients include agencies and in-house teams looking for SEO specialists, Paid Media experts, Digital Marketing Managers, Content Leads and Email/CRM professionals. These roles require commercial awareness, strategic thinking, and the ability to execute – qualities we prioritise when shortlisting talent.
Our Data Analyst recruitment offering is shaped for companies that need data-driven insight to inform decisions – whether you’re a retailer, financial services firm or software company. We hire Analysts, Insight Leads, BI Developers (Power BI, SQL), and data-driven marketing professionals who can turn numbers into business strategy.
And in Project Management, we source Digital PMs, Agile Delivery Managers, Product Owners, Implementation Consultants and hybrid roles that span both delivery and strategy. Leeds’ digital transformation pace demands project professionals who can hit the ground running – we find them.
At the heart of our Leeds operation is Jacob Wickett, a senior consultant who brings over a decade of experience in digital and tech recruitment. Jacob is widely respected for his understanding of the regional talent market and for his strategic, no-nonsense approach. Employers come to Jacob for more than just CVs - they rely on him for real-time salary insights, talent market advice, and guidance on how to attract passive candidates who aren’t active on LinkedIn or job boards. If you’re scaling a digital team in Leeds or have critical hires to make, Jacob’s your direct contact - and a trusted advisor.

Every employer is different – but our framework for delivering success stays consistent. Here’s what you can expect when working with Live Digital:
We start with a full hiring consultation – not just to understand the job spec, but your team culture, growth plans, and what success looks like in this role. We help refine your employer proposition so you stand out to the right candidates.
Using a mix of proactive headhunting, talent network activation, strategic advertising, and referrals, we identify and approach candidates who are technically qualified and genuinely interested. Most of our successful hires never applied to a job ad.
We deliver a handpicked shortlist of candidates, each accompanied by detailed notes on experience, motivations, notice period and fit. You won’t be left guessing.
We coordinate interviews, manage expectations, and handle feedback loops. Need help designing a task or aligning stakeholders internally? We’ll support that too.
Once you’ve found the right person, we manage the offer, salary negotiation, and pre-start communication – reducing dropouts and ensuring a smooth start.
We don’t disappear once the contract is signed. We check in regularly to ensure your new hire is settling in, delivering value, and planning to stay.
Whether you're a company looking to hire exceptional talent or a candidate ready for your next career move, we're here to support you with tailored staffing solutions that meet your goals.
