Mia approached me about a year ago and asked if they could help find applicants. I immediately liked her no-nonsense approach. Instead of making a sales pitch, she tried to understand our needs and got us great candidates. Communication is quick and all stakeholders have the information they need at any given point. I recommend working with Mia & the team. Thank you!

FAQs

Client services FAQs.

Client services is the front line of your agency — it’s how you manage relationships, deliver work, and keep clients coming back. It’s more than communication. It’s about understanding client goals, managing expectations, and ensuring your team delivers value consistently.

Strong client services teams help retain clients, grow accounts, and protect your agency’s reputation. Hiring the right people in these roles is crucial to your commercial success.

Working with a specialist agency like Digital Waffle gives you access to client services talent who already understand agency life. We’ll connect you with account managers, directors, and client leads who can manage pressure, support your delivery, and build long-term client trust — all without missing a beat.

The best account managers aren’t just good communicators — they’re strategic partners. Look for candidates who understand your clients’ industries, can manage multiple deadlines without losing detail, and know how to handle tough conversations. You want someone who can grow relationships, not just maintain them.

We recruit across the full client services function, including:

  • Account Executives

  • Account Managers

  • Senior Account Managers

  • Account Directors

  • Client Services Leads

  • Client Relationship Managers


Whether you need someone hands-on with delivery or shaping strategy, we’ll connect you with people who understand agency culture and client expectations.

Most roles are filled in 10 working days or less — from briefing to offer. We’ve built our process to move quickly and still get the fit right. All candidates are pre-screened for skills, communication, and experience working with agency clients.

Start by submitting your vacancy. One of our client services consultants will get in touch to understand your agency’s structure, client profile, and team culture. From there, we’ll handle sourcing, shortlisting and managing the process — so you can focus on running your agency.

Yes. We’ve helped agencies hire everything from client services leads to department heads. These are high-impact hires, and we tailor our search around leadership style, commercial goals, and cultural alignment — not just years of experience.
