Creative Designer

When Swan Creative approached us to find them a Creative Designer, we rose to the challenge. The creative digital marketing agency had had the role live on the jobs boards but was struggling to get anywhere. This creative yet technical role requires graphic design skills, a high level of attention to detail, and strong software competencies.

Swan Creative specifically wanted a professional with at least five years of agency experience, who was skilled in print, digital and branding design, and someone with a fun, chatty personality, who was hardworking and organised.

Admittedly, it took several searches to narrow in on the client’s specific objectives, but with great communication from Paul at Swan Creative and some honest feedback, we whittled the shortlist down to just two strong candidates for the final stage, both of whom were viable for offers. We are pleased to say by working closely with the client, in less than three months, we had identified suitable candidates, shortlisted 12, interviewed five, and had the best applicant accept the job offer.

The biggest challenge was the client’s location. Based in Southend, we found our candidate options were relatively limited, with many preferring a London-based role. However, with the lull of the role and the agency’s credibility, we managed to successfully overcome this challenge.

We are delighted by the feedback from Swan Creative, who said: “This was the first time we used TwentyFour Recruitment and Jack’s customer service, professionalism and his ability to think outside of the box in these difficult times was above excellent. Thank you, Jack, for all your help, insight which ultimately resulted in the successful recruitment of our new Creative Designer here at Swan Creative.”

The successful candidate was equally applauding, saying: “Jack reached out to me initially and from the first conversation, he really understood me. We just clicked and he was able to guide me through the process, something which I lacked confidence in entirely. I wouldn’t have taken the plunge to move jobs without his help, so I am very grateful of him. Even after securing my new job, Jack has helped with other work-related questions through the transition period, so he has gone above and beyond. Thank you for the support Jack!”

Another happy client and candidate, just part of the TwentyFour Group service!
