FIND YOUR NEW TALENT

Top-tier marketing, media and digital talent is getting harder to find and even harder to hire.


The demand for high-impact contributors and proven leaders keeps growing, while teams are stuck with critical gaps that drag down performance, increase burnout, and open the door to costly mis-hires.


The result?


Low morale. High turnover. Missed targets. More stress.

These are all symptoms of a broken hiring process that doesn't match today's pace.


At Hansen Recruiting, we do things differently.


We’re your direct line to standout media, digital, and marketing professionals—the kind who avoid job boards and ghost generic recruiters. We cut through the noise to connect you with people who actually move the needle.


Whether you're looking to build a high-performing team or explore your next move confidentially, we're here to make it happen—with precision, speed, and zero fluff.


Let’s talk.

It might just be the smartest (and most profitable) conversation you’ve had all year.

testimonials & happy clients

Marissa was recommended to me by a colleague, after working with her on an important search for my company I got to see first-hand why. Marissa was responsive, took the time to understand what we were looking for even though we weren’t entirely sure of all that we needed. She sprang into action providing some great candidates and top-level service. We ended up hiring a senior digital executive who has been delivering since day one.

Chris Schembri, Founder + CEO @ Aletheia Marketing & Media

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Marissa and the Hansen Recruiting team on several key hires, and I can confidently say they are a top-tier recruiter. Marisa has been instrumental in helping us build an incredible People Operations team, finding exceptional talent for some of our most challenging and specialized roles. They have an ability to understand our needs, source top talent, and present candidates who are not only highly qualified but also a great cultural fit—often leading to having several qualified candidates in the final interview round!

Stephanie Goger, Senior Director @ Wpromote

Hansen Recruiting just GETS IT. They are by far the best recruiting agency I have ever worked with. With most recruiting agencies, it takes weeks of back and forth to get the right caliber of candidate - with Hansen, we get great quality from the start. They also understand that I'm strapped for time - that's why we work with them - and they project manage me effectively to make sure we are moving forward. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Ryan Markman, COO @ Metric Digital

I've had the privilege of working with Marissa Hansen and Hansen Recruiting over the past 6 years across my roles as Head of Marketing at Elevate Credit and CMO of Goosehead Insurance. Marissa has been instrumental in helping me build exceptional marketing teams, particularly at Goosehead Insurance where she successfully placed 4 out of 5 members of my marketing leadership team.

Ann Challis, Executive Vice President @ MB2 Dental

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Marissa Hansen in two capacities—first, as a job seeker, and later, as a hiring manager looking for top talent. In both instances, she has gone above and beyond any recruiter I’ve ever worked with.


Marissa provides invaluable coaching, offering transparent guidance at every step of the process. Her insights and support made a significant difference in helping me navigate my career transition with confidence.

Karla Forseca, Managing Director @ Goosehead Insurance Agency

Marissa is an outstanding recruiting partner. She helped fill a difficult role with my company that had been open for quite some time. Throughout the process, she was readily available, and provided great insight and advice. I wholeheartedly recommend Marissa to anyone with difficult-to-fill positions in the eCommerce space.

Mike Bearden, VP of Recruiting @ Talent to Team

For the past 8 years, I have been relying on Marissa Hansen to help scale the Marketing functions of some of Boston's best digital hyper-growth companies and Ad agencies. Since 2011, Hansen has been the only agency partner I have taken with me, from TripAdvisor to Wayfair to iProspect and now Mendix. She sets the gold standard in attracting and evaluating the best Marketing & Digital Advertising talent in the market, and beyond that, I genuinely enjoy working with her. She's smart, professional and tenacious. I can't recommend her enough.
