The credit crunch has made little impact on the marketing job market, according to advertising and sales recruitment firm Big fish.

The Warwickshire-based recruiter has appointed two new consultants, Leah Kirkwood and Emma Stangroom to deal with the increased demand for marketing staff.

Nicola Kleinmann, the firm’s managing director, told recruiter.co.uk: “The credit crunch and stories of a pending recession in the UK is having no effect on the marketing job market.”

She added: “As the demand for quality marketing professionals increases, we need to grow the team accordingly to ensure that we continue to deliver quality candidates and exceed client and candidate expectations. The continued growth of our team obviously reflects the strength of the sectors in which we operate, countering any suggestion that the UK job market is in a worse state than it was two or three years ago.”
