Creative and Design Recruitment
Creative hiring is easy to get wrong because the visible work is only part of the picture.
A portfolio can show output. It cannot show taste, collaboration, consistency, or what someone lifts around them.
We run headhunted creative and design recruitment for teams that care about the standard of the work and the fit of the person behind it.
Strong creative people are rarely applying broadly.
The best ones are selective, already in motion, or open only to the right story.
What usually goes wrong
Teams hire the folio, not the person.
They overvalue polish, undervalue judgement, and end up with someone who looks right but does not really lift the team.
How we run search
Every brief starts with the work, the team, the level, and the creative standard required.
Then we run a fresh search and go directly to the people who can actually do it.
What good looks like
A strong creative shortlist should feel precise, not broad.
Different strengths. Real fit. Clear rationale.
