DESIGN CANDIDATES
Looking for Work?
We connect top designers with in-house brand teams.
Have you ever obsessed so much over kerning a wordmark that you dreamt about it? Aced a color vision test and posted it to Instagram for bragging rights? Tried to use an Illustrator keyboard shortcut in real life? Then we can probably find some common ground to chuckle over.
No matter the type of design work you do, everybody we work with has a common characteristic: an intrinsic desire for making the world more beautiful and useful. Design is a calling, not a job.
If this sounds like you, we definitely need to talk.
CLIENTS
Searching for Designers?
We obsess until we find just the right fit for your team.
Our day-to-day is all about scouting top design talent for your team.
Because when you need someone “yesterday,” you only want the best. That’s why we are constantly interviewing new talent. We only represent designers we qualify through our in-depth, face-to-face interview process. When we present a candidate, you’ll get to know their superpowers, their creative process and how they collaborate.
We do the hard work on the front end so that you can work harmoniously on the back end.
From freelance to full-time, we build harmonious teams that do great work.
OUR SERVICES
Freelancers
(TEMPORARY HIRES)
WHAT IT IS — Maybe your top designer is on unexpected leave, a major new project has you temporarily short-staffed, or you need a little expertise that your team doesn’t currently possess. Temporary staffing fills your stopgap needs with the best possible short-term hires to hit the ground running. But that doesn’t mean they’re not as passionate as you about the work.
WHY CLIENTS LOVE IT — You see diverse talent options and assignments can have flexible start/end dates. We are the employer of record but you get full control over the quality of work and how their time is spent.
COST — Each candidate is presented at their hourly bill rate and you’re only charged for the time your temp actually works. Billing is weekly and we coordinate seamlessly with your A/P team.
Retained Search
(FULL TIME HIRES)
WHAT IT IS — Different from contingent search, you retain our staff at an up-front fee but gain our full attention on a thoughtful, targeted search. With only one retained search at a time, you are our #1 priority.
WHY CLIENTS LOVE IT — We commit dedicated time, resources and laser focus to retained searches. It takes energy, but the results speak for themselves when the right person finally takes their seat. We work hand in glove, so you’ll feel like we’re part of your in-house team.
COST — Retained searches are paid partially up front and the rest of the fee is due when you hire our candidate. Total fee is based on a percentage of your new hire’s first-year compensation.
