The Formula
Creative+ Recruiting
From a creative’s point of view, we know what it’s like to receive a generic, mass email looking for a “diverse candidate.” From a recruiter’s point of view, we know what it’s like to be ghosted by prospects. Our process brings the knowledge and skills of being a good creative with the expertise and personability of being a solid recruiter. Finally, the creative emphasis is on the people
and not just the work.
We have principles
People matter. Relationships
matter more.
Hear from us more than when you update your LinkedIn Profile. Inserting your name and new job title into a generic email isn’t our style. We don’t treat candidates like some may been treated by recruiters responding to the sudden demands for more diversity. Our members will be joining a family and will be treated as such. With a care and concern that should stretch throughout their careers in whatever field they choose. And whatever plans they have beyond.
Integrity.
Always.
We have strong morals and principles. And that’s not negotiable. We know that in creative fields many people take liberties with your ideas, your voice, and anything else to get ahead. We push to foster environments that provide creative growth without trampling on those around it.
Keep it
creative.
We push creative thought in everything we do. From the candidates we source to the chances we take in creating opportunities for them. What’s the point of being founded by creatives if you don’t take creative liberties with the traditional structure of staffing?
Embrace
and evolve.
The enemy of progress is the phrase “that’s how it's always been done.”. There will always be better ways to source talent and to get talent the best opportunities possible. And we’ll be open to everything that will give them the best shot at success. You can either provoke change or succumb to it. We prefer the former.
Talent
finds talent.
We have a different point of view on creatives. Where to find the most creative people. Not just from ad school. Not just poaching from another agency. Because there will always be better ways to source talent and to get talent the best opportunities possible. And we’ll be open to whatever will give them the best shot at success.
