Creative Agency Recruitment

We excel in recruiting outstanding candidates for creative agencies, ensuring our clients have the best talent for their projects.

What is a creative agency?

This type of specialist agency will support companies in producing strategy and assets for brand, marketing, product and advertising activity. Depending on the size and focus of the agency, creatives will join an agency team where they can specialise in a particular sector or work across multiple areas like graphic design, product design and development, photography or videography. Their primary focus is working towards delivering for their clients, acting as their creative arm to support advertising or marketing activities, web design or internal visual creative requirements. Many creative agencies work alongside other agencies to deliver full creative solutions for their projects, whether they are campaign and project based or ongoing creative requirements.

How do creative agencies work with recruitment agencies?

Creative agencies have traditionally worked with clients on campaign or seasonal based activity, which produces hiring spikes, meaning fluctuating demand for candidates. However ongoing projects like social media activity have resulted in longer term projects with reoccurring content requirements. Project size and length only becomes apparent upon winning business which then requires the client to recruit at pace for employees. Agencies offer both contract and permanent employees to meet demand, having access to a network of candidate experience and skillsets to deliver individuals or teams. With demand for the best creatives higher in specific areas, it pays to work closely with a creative agency that understands your business and culture to present highly sought after talent as it arrives on the market.

Why do creative agencies work with The Candidate?

The Candidate has a quality network of the top creative candidates which has been built since our lunch in 2012 allowing us to deliver creative recruitment solutions for clients. We see ourselves as an extension of our creative agency clients, providing the best representation of our agencies to our candidates in a professional manner with unbiased insights. We can deliver contract creative employees and manage all administration around PAYE etc so you can instantly access skills needed to start work on a project or campaign. We’ll also help recruit permanent creative candidates who prefer longer term work and security and have the ability to work across several areas on differing projects.
