Ninety Thousand Hours

Why candidates love us

The clue is in the name

We’re called Ninety Thousand Hours. Because that is the entirety of your career.

We made it the core of our brand because we want you to understand we’re not interested in shoving you into any old role just so we can pick up a fee.

Happy, motivated people with the right skills are the difference-makers in any business. That’s what our clients hire us to find, so we have to ensure any role we approach you about works for where you want to be in terms of career – and life.

Sector focus

We are specialists in these market sectors and our success comes from deep knowledge of them and an exceptional network. So let’s be clear, if you work in these areas we can help you. If you don’t, we’re not the right people to talk to.

Information

We find you opportunities in subscription-based businesses that deliver premium content, data, and insights. With our understanding of recurring revenue models, we connect you with roles that drive growth and innovation.

Media

We connect you with top media companies that generate revenue through diverse channels like sponsorships, marketing solutions, content syndication, and lead generation. You'll thrive in dynamic roles suited to the fast-paced media landscape.

Events

We help you land roles in leading events businesses, from conferences to tradeshows. With opportunities to sell sponsorships, campaigns, and booth spaces, you’ll excel in the exciting world of event sales.

Get in touch

We’re more than happy to answer your questions or just offer some initial advice, so please do feel free to fill out the contact form and we’ll be in touch.

We look forward to speaking to you.

Preparation = Success

We have a 96% retention rate for people we place.

That should tell you about the care we take to ensure your new role is a positive move.

As the famous quote says: “Success is where preparation and opportunity meet“.

We have the opportunities, but we have to make sure you are perfectly prepared. And we do. We produce detailed candidate packs that tell you everything you need to know about a role and the culture of the company. And if you’re not familiar with doing video introductions about yourself, or taking McQuaig behavioural assessments then we’ll guide you through those parts of our process. They are worth it so you don’t waste your time going to interviews that aren’t going to be a fit for you.
