Creative Agency Recruitment
We excel in recruiting outstanding candidates for creative agencies, ensuring our clients have the best talent for their projects.
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.
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.
The Candidate has a quality network of the top creative candidates which has been built since our launch 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.

Creative agency recruitment covers the specialists who produce strategy and assets for brand, marketing and advertising work - designers, developers, photographers, videographers and creative strategists. Roles can sit within one discipline or span several, depending on the agency's size and focus.
Both. Creative agencies often need contract staff at short notice to cover campaign or seasonal spikes, particularly once a project's size and length only becomes clear after new business is won. Permanent creative recruitment tends to suit candidates looking for longer-term security and the chance to work across multiple projects.
Creative agencies have traditionally hired around campaign and seasonal cycles, but ongoing work like social media content has created more continuous demand. A creative agency recruiter needs to move quickly between short bursts of hiring and longer, steadier briefs - often within the same client relationship.
A specialist creative recruitment agency builds a network of pre-assessed creative talent and represents agencies professionally to that network, giving unbiased insight on both sides. This means agencies get candidates who are genuinely suited to their culture, not just their skill set.
