Every search is headhunted.
Every shortlist is built, not found.
The hiring market is noisy. The best people are not applying. If you rely on applicants alone, you are choosing from the smallest part of the market.
We run proactive, headhunted search for agencies, studios and in house teams that care about getting the hire right.
Good people are usually busy.
They are selective.
They are hard to read on paper.
That is why every search starts with a clear brief, then a full market scan. We go directly to the people you actually want to speak with.
What makes us different?
We know the work because we have done the work.
We have built teams, hired teams, and carried the commercial weight that comes after the offer is signed. That changes the quality of the read.
We pair that operator judgement with intelligent tools and considered outreach.
No job ads.
No recycled lists.
No handoffs.
What you get
Access to people you will not reach through ads.
Tight shortlists with clear rationale.
Fewer interviews. Faster decisions. Hires that hold up.
Meet Nic
Nic is the Founder and Director of The People Place.
Before recruitment, Nic built teams and led delivery across creative, production and digital businesses. That operator background shapes every search: clear brief, sharp targeting, real context and better judgement.
Every search is led personally by Nic, supported by a trusted network and intelligent tools.
RESULTS THAT HOLD UP
The best proof is what happens once the work starts.
We are trusted by teams who value judgement over noise, and by candidates who want a process that feels clear, direct and properly handled.
Clear process, strong candidates, and a result that held up.
Nic brought a strong shortlist within days and we hired quickly and confidently.
He got the brief, challenged where needed, and delivered a shortlist that made sense.
The whole process felt considered, direct, and easy to trust.
A great end-to-end experience. Clear process, strong shortlist, and a hire we feel great about.
