The People Place
Finding
good people for
good places.
Welcome to The People Place; a Melbourne-based recruitment agency specialising in creative recruitment across the Australian market. We look after the advertising, marketing, media, digital industries, and more.
We don’t find talent though, because we understand that the best in the business bring so much more than talent to a workplace. They bring themselves, entirely. We find people. Good people. And we match them with good places.
Our creative recruitment spans full-service agencies to in-house teams, design studios to production departments, digital agencies to social teams, and one-off projects to full-time positions. We’ve seen what’s possible when exceptional people find themselves in empowering environments. They innovate, inspire, shape culture and drive profits.
That’s why our role isn’t simply to fill yours. By finding good people for good places, we build relationships that last.

FAQs about our recruitment agency
Here’s some of the frequently asked questions about creative recruitment.
Recruitment agencies in Australia typically work in one of two ways – a “retained” customised and more in-depth approach, or a “contingent” less thorough, speedy screening recruitment basis.
At The People Place, we want to ensure that our people are the right fit for our clients – and that we’re the right fit too. That’s why we offer both ways of working together. Find out more about how a partnership with our lead creative recruiter, Nic, works.
