“The Candidate is the only recruitment agency I will use for freelance now. I was recommended to them by a good friend and honestly, it’s one of the best processes I’ve ever had. I have found consistent work and they call each week to check-in regardless of bookings or not, which is very rare! They are knowledgeable and are well connected in the industry – I’ll be recommending them to others!” – Mike - Art Director, London
