Overview

## What they do

Written from their own pages and the public record, checked 3 September 2026.

Havas People is an employer branding and recruitment marketing agency. Its head office is in London, United Kingdom, with further offices in Manchester, Solihull, New York, Chicago, Sydney and Mumbai. Size band 201-500 employees (LinkedIn, read 2026-09-03). Ownership is Havas, through Havas UK Limited on the Companies House register. It sits here under employer branding and recruitment marketing.

Our take

The case studies split three ways. Haleon and RWE are long research programmes, two years in Haleon's case, ending in an EVP and an experience framework rather than a campaign. Coles and Mars are media and content builds, with media strategy, planning and buying named as an in house team. The third strand is product. The engage applicant tracking system, people experience platform and learning platform are sold alongside the creative work, and the agency's own careers site runs on them. Two cautions. Some award winning work is described on their own site as made with fellow Havas agencies rather than by this team alone, and no fees or engagement model are published.
