About Birkby Bridge

We're on a mission to fix marketing in recruitment

Strategic-level marketing is often the biggest skills gap in a recruitment or search company. We're changing that by providing outcome-based marketing that directly drives revenue.

Meet Your CMO

I'm Rob Quirk, and I've been building recruitment brands for over 15 years

I've worked at some of the most recognized businesses in the recruitment space, including Spencer Ogden, Harnham, and Tempting Ventures. Throughout my career, I've seen the same challenge repeatedly: recruitment firms struggling to implement strategic marketing that actually drives revenue.

Birkby Bridge was founded to solve this problem. Our marketing function was built within a VC environment, so we understand what adds value to an Executive Search or Recruitment business and how to scale it.

I'm lucky to have some of the most talented marketing professionals within my network who deliver exceptional results to our clients every week. We're technology agnostic, so our processes and strategies can be deployed via your existing tech stack.

I support Huddersfield Town FC, try to catch NY Jets games when I can, and my golf handicap is a work in progress. I have a wonderful wife and two loud daughters who keep me very busy.
