BoldMove exists to orchestrate the beautiful chaos that is a communications team or agency; through its most valuable assets
– the people.

We’re here for the harmony and will hunt for your next hire, next job, next dream.
We’re making recruiting more human again; to make work, work a little better.
APPLE PIE AND CUSTARD*
A match made in heaven, right? We feel the same about talent. No make-do CV’s. We support you in attracting the right sort of people; the ones who make a difference to your business; the talent you need, not just the candidates you want; those for later, as well as the right for now.
*cream or ice cream are also excellent pairings
Empowered people empower people
Fact. We’re not just about headhunting; we connect to the inner workings of your brand so we can provide counsel on current skill sets, talent pipeline, succession planning, inclusion and belonging, mapping and more.
Great people +
great brands = mutual happiness.
Cut the cr*p
Honest, straight-talking, and research-based guidance at every step of our journey together. We’ve seen it all in our 30+ years in the industry and always strive to do the right thing for the long haul. Sometimes it takes an expert to see the bigger picture from the outside, to really understand what’s needed inside… weirdly.
So, what does that mean for you?
We’re here to make recruitment more human
again!
BoldMove is a retained and subscription-based talent partner focused on people-first team
building & retention for forward-thinking brands and communication agencies.
The comms sector is always evolving, that’s what makes it exciting. You need talent specialists that understand the DNA of a modern communications agency or an in-house marketing, PR, comms & brand team, to put you at ease. That’s where our in-depth and constantly developing know-how comes in. Remember, we’re talking to the stars (our candidates) at the forefront of the movement every day.
A subscription-based, retained headhunting, and exclusive contingency model that helps achieve real value for money, ROI and can flex around you. But we’re not giving away how it works just yet, relationships are built through conversations – let’s have one of those and we can spill the beans.
Bad recruitment choices waste time, and cost big bucks. We only work with a small portfolio of clients, aligned to our values. So everyone gets complete transparency and the full support they need and deserve, to make important talent decisions, build awesome teams and keep ’em too.
The PR & comms market has never been tougher when it comes to finding top talent. Searching the earth for the right one (or few) can leave you with no time to get the important stuff done. Leave it to the pros, so you can crack on with growing.

Real Testimonials from
Real People
“Julia is fantastic! We spent a lot of long phone calls figuring out exactly what I wanted and what companies would be right for me. She gave me time to make my own decision when it came to figuring out which direction I should go in and ultimately took a lot of stress out of moving companies. Give her a call – you’ll be glad you did!
“
Lewis Oakley
Client Director at Milk & Honey PR
“From the minute I first spoke to Julia Fenwick and Ellie Gair Dummer they’ve been, frankly, awesome.
The approach, the honesty, the values they bring to our conversations is so appreciated. For a growing team like Praytell UK, we need true partners to help us on the journey and I can’t sing their praises highly enough. There will be so many moments in our future that we’ll have BoldMove to thank for helping to assemble a winning team
.“
James Bunting
UK Lead and Business Director at Praytell
“Ellie is hard-working, honest and very professional. She also demonstrated dogged persistence in the face of a tough search market. Her Geordie charm meshes perfectly with my own no-nonsense, open approach. She has been a delight to deal with and is a credit to the profession. Highly recommended.
“
James Kaye
Director at Big Games Machine
“I’ve met just a handful of talent recruiters who understand that it’s more about casting than recruiting for a search brief. Julia is one of those rare matchmakers who are highly experienced in navigating the process with confidence and grace, transparency and trust – always putting talent first.
“
Kostas Karanikolas
Global Executive Creative Director at Manifest Group
“So refreshing to work with a recruiter that not only ensures your next career move is the right one for you, but knows exactly what the client’s looking for. Not to mention, her amazing support and positivity every step of the way to help you land that dream job. An absolute pleasure, Ellie.
“
Sarah Chamberlain
Marketing Manager at iProspect | Dentsu
“I found Julia’s depth of insight into the company that I was applying for a role with to be invaluable. Her enthusiasm and support throughout the whole, seamless process really made a difference to what can be a very time-intensive and stressful process. I would highly recommend her approach to recruitment, partnering with clients, and her attitude in general – she is incredibly down to earth and easy to talk to.
“
Alicia Friend
Senior Analyst & strategist at Wunderman Thompson
“Julia and her team take the time to truly understand you, your skills and what motivates you, giving excellent guidance and thoughtful, intelligent advice throughout the process. Job hunting can be an emotional rollercoaster but I have always felt extremely supported, and understood. Plus, they have lots of interesting roles, are super connected and genuinely understand the industry. I could not recommend BoldMove more highly.
“
Francesca O’Connor
Partner, Global Head of Brand at MILK & HONEY PR
“Our team is the most important part of Manifest. We want to find people from all different backgrounds to help us build brands that change the world. This makes hiring no easy feat. Having Ellie and Julia on board to help us find the changemakers, the misfits, the standing-out-from-the-crowd-ers, has been invaluable.
“
Ali Maynard-James
Managing Partner at MANIFEST
“Not only did Julia help me find a dream job in the dating industry, she also helped me find my replacement once I’d moved up the ladder and needed to take on more support. I love her honest approach and I always recommend her when PR friends ask me where to look.
