Sourcing Talent

Success in sourcing comes down to quality over quantity. For each req, rather than mass messaging on LinkedIn, we invest time doing background research and reviewing portfolios. We phone screen the strongest candidates and narrow it down to a target of 5 people who are the best match before sending them through. This approach respects your time (and talent’s time) by giving you a strong set of diverse candidates who are already vetted with your team needs in mind.

When sourcing for you, we partner with your stakeholders (typically an in-house recruiting team or creative leads). For each req we estimate the number of hours it will take to return high quality candidates with notes on each individual’s strengths and goals (e.g. target salary). From there the ball is in your court to move forward in the process with candidates.

Recruiting for Freelance & Contract-to-Hire

Working with freelancers is a game of speed. As economic conditions continue to change, hiring for project-based work is only getting more competitive. The best talent is evaluating you as much as you’re evaluating them.

We’ve built a core roster of creative contractors across varying areas of design (visual, product, layout, experiential, UI) and copywriting (technical, marketing, editorial, UX).

We handle all of the sourcing, and then work with your team to manage the interview process. Once booked, our freelance candidates work directly for you, so you pay their rate to them. No mark-ups or opaque hourly billing like you’d have with a staffing firm. And should you want to convert someone to full-time at the end of their contract, we can help.

Recruiting for Full-Time Reqs

Communication is what sets us apart as full-cycle recruiters. Our goal is to keep the process clear so that you and candidates both know exactly what to expect along the way.

Unfortunately the modern interview landscape looks like all of the worst parts of online dating. But there is a better and more efficient way to do things. We take the same approach when recruiting for full-time employees as we do with contractors, but with extra attention to long-term fit (e.g. making sure a candidate’s career goals are in alignment with the growth opportunities in the role). No ghosting, no game playing. We see ourselves as an extension of your business, so we hold ourselves to the highest standards— standards that are also rooted in best practices for equitable and inclusive hiring.
