Open Search: Your Future-Ready Talent Pool

Welcome to Open Search, an exclusive, forward-thinking recruitment service that keeps you prepared for the future, especially when it comes to hiring in the creative and design sectors. Say goodbye to reactive recruitment and hello to a streamlined, tailored approach that adapts as your business evolves.

What Is Open Search?

At its core, Open Search is a service where we actively monitor, vet, and share candidate profiles tailored to the future needs and changes your business may encounter. Think of it as your long-term recruitment partner that works quietly in the background, even when you have no immediate plans to hire.

Cost-Effective & Risk-Free

Like traditional recruitment, you only pay when you actually make a hire. So even though we’re actively scouting talent that fits your business, there’s zero upfront cost for this service. This makes Open Search a risk-free investment into your future growth and staffing stability.

Customised To Your Needs

Tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll take care of the rest. Open Search is not a one-size-fits-all service. We customise our search to align with your unique business needs and criteria, ensuring that you receive profiles that truly fit what you’re looking for.

Stay Ahead With Exclusive Access

Why wait for top talent to enter the job market when you can know about them beforehand? Open Search offers you a first look at active, pre-screened candidates who have already expressed interest in a business like yours. Gain the advantage and meet these highly-qualified individuals before they are snapped up by competitors.

Future-Ready Hiring

Sudden vacancies can disrupt your operations and bring about unexpected costs. With Open Search, you’ll have a pool of pre-screened candidates ready to contact, drastically cutting down time-to-hire and onboarding expenses. You can also use Open Search for succession planning, ensuring smoother transitions when existing employees move on.

Why Choose Open Search?

The Stats Speak For Themselves

• Lower Onboarding Costs: Estimates suggest it can cost up to 1.5 times an employee’s salary to replace and onboard them. Save by being prepared.
