Your Growth, Our Mission


Hiring growth-stage marketing and tech teams is messy.  Unclear roles, rushed timelines, and too many “almost right” candidates.

We don’t just send resumes. We help hiring leaders slow down just enough to get clear on the role, talk through what really matters, and avoid hires that look good on paper but don’t work in practice.

Speed matters,  but quality and alignment matter more.

HOW WE SOLVE YOUR HIRING NEEDS


Tailored solutions for marketing and tech talent—built for your timeline and goals.

Direct Hire

Best for critical hires where quality and fit matter more than speed. We lead sourcing, screening, and decision support through offer.

Ideal for one-off, high-impact, or specialized roles.

Embedded Partner

A fractional recruiter who works as an extension of your team, working alongside hiring managers, owning pipelines, and adapting in real time as priorities shift.

Ideal for companies hiring 3–20+ roles yearly or experiencing fluctuating hiring demand.

Fixed Project

When you need specialized talent for a defined project or temporary role, we place experienced contract professionals,  without the administrative or payroll burden.

Ideal for extended projects, skill gaps, parental leave coverage, or short-term needs.

Navigating AI’s Impact on Tech and Marketing Hiring


AI is transforming the roles we recruit for—automating tasks and creating demand for machine learning engineers and AI-savvy marketers. Yet, 75% of tech hiring managers at companies using Artificial Intelligence say they’re hiring AI talent too fast, not taking the time to build a long-term pipeline of qualified candidates (General Assembly, State of Tech Talent 2025). At Knak Digital, we focus on sustainable hiring, sourcing AI-ready professionals who align with your culture and future goals. Let’s build your team the right way—connect with us today!

Rachel, UX Strategist

Kelli used her network to connect me to a perfect opportunity that will help boost my growth as a UX Designer and subsequently propel me forward in my career. I don't think I could've landed the opportunity I did without her help. I am honestly forever grateful and appreciative of her commitment, patience and compassion.

Julia, Digital Marketing Manager

Kelli was instrumental in helping me find and get hired in my current position.  Not only was she available to me at any point during the day, she was very proactive in checking in with me before and after my interviews.  Once the offer was made, she handled the salary negotiations as well which was a weight off my shoulders.  Kelli was respectful of what I was and was not looking for, and made the transition extremely smooth.

Tejas, Search Engine Marketing Manager

I find Kelli to be a very engaged, dependable, and experienced recruiter in the digital marketing space. She has many contacts that will match your specific job requirements at any level of experience. I've been searching for a job for a few months before connecting with Kelli and it was the best decision I have ever made. I got a job offer about a couple weeks after I decided to work with her! She always kept in touch with me, was transparent during interviews, and answered any questions I had during the entire process. She is the real deal.

Engel, Director of Digital Marketing

Making a change at this stage in my career required not only a strategy, but also sensitivity. Kelli understood that from the start and was committed to finding the best opportunities for my unique needs. My search was extremely specific, so Kelli worked tirelessly to identify potential organizations that often weren't even in the search process. He focus was on finding the right organization for both my professional and personal needs, not just a position. After diligently working with me over the course of several months--she negotiated and packaged up an opportunity that was not only an ideal fit--it was irrefutable. Kelli is the most professional, trustworthy and personable source for skill-specific and strategic executive placement and recruiting.

Ashleigh, Digital Marketing Director

Due to overall company growth and the need for an additional resource within our Digital Marketing team, we created a Digital Marketing Manager position.The position required skills in many different Digital Marketing areas and we were having issues with finding qualified applicants that met all of our needs. We contacted a few agencies to assist in recruiting permanent placement and Knak Digital was one of them. The service, the prompt attention, the consistent follow up and the quality of candidates we got from them speaks well of their recruiting and screening process. I would have no hesitation in giving my recommendations to use.

This was our first time working with Kelli, and I have to say she greatly exceeded our expectations.  She understood our requirements, identified qualified candidates from both a skills and cultural perspective.  With Kelli’s help we were able to bring in three very qualified employees in a relatively short period of time.
