Why Should I Use a Creative Recruitment Agency?

Our Creative Recruitment Manager Katy Nagy tells you why using a creative recruitment agency can really help out your job hunt, or improve your chances of finding the best candidate to fill your vacancy!

Recruiters often get a bad rep. Which is a real shame, as most of us are a lovely bunch and really keen to help candidates and clients alike. I can’t speak for everyone, but I love finding someone the perfect job, and relieving companies of their stress and pain. Gives me the warm and fuzzies.

There are so many benefits to working with a creative recruitment agency. Here are just a few…

Katy Nagy, Creative Recruitment Manager

For Candidates

Industry connections

Creative recruiters know everyone. Every. One.

Okay, that might be a bit over the top, but we do have tonnes of industry connections. We went for drinks with that award-winning Creative Director last week. We spoke to that hiring manager at The Roses. Even most of our pals work in creative teams!

The Candidate are market leaders in the North West. We are partnered with over 1000 leading companies and can expertly introduce you to the very best. In 2021 we placed over 300 people and you could be one of them!

Less hassle

Finding a job is a full time job in itself. You can’t scour job boards whilst you’re working on your next creative pitch.

A creative recruitment agency does the job hunting for you and ligate the need to go through the time-consuming process of researching companies, writing CVs, and completely mountains of individual job applications

We also run through your unique wants and needs. We put a great deal of effort into understanding what’s important to you, and matching candidates to the best fit, so when you get an interview, you already know the culture, salary, values, and expectations match up.

For Companies

Cost & Time

So, you’ve got a gap in your team. Timelines are slipping because there are just not enough bodies. The rest of the department are working overtime. Some people might even need to take sick days because they’re feeling so overworked and stressed.

All this has not only a financial cost but a culture cost to your company. The longer it takes for you to high, the more pennies are going down the drain.

Recruiting a candidate can take a long time. You want to fit the best skillset and person for your team. By using a recruitment agency this time to hire is greatly reduced, as you have an extra pair of eyes on the market.

We can also offer so much more than simply finding you the individual; we take on all the admin that’s associated with it. Advertising the role, screening CVs, scheduling interviews, negotiating a salary – all this is done by the recruitment agency.

Advice

What’s the going rate for a Designer? What skills are more in demand, AfterEffects or Sketch? How do you know all this?

Well, your friendly creative recruiter has their finger on the pulse. Day in day out, we are speaking to other companies and candidates, and are the industry experts. Whether you need advice on what salary to market your vacancy at, or what’s going on in the marketplace, we are on hand.

We are often speaking to stellar candidates before they even start applying for jobs or interviewing. We can get you the best, hidden gems in the creative space, and you can interview them before they get snapped up by a competitor.
