About Us | Catchin Talent

Your Trusted Creative Recruitment Partners Since Day One

When it comes to creative recruitment and marketing agency recruitment, we're not just another headhunting firm throwing CVs at the wall and hoping something sticks. We're Catchin' Talent – recognised experts in the field of advertising, creative, events, design, and marketing recruitment who've built our reputation on one simple principle: finding the right people for the right roles, every single time.

We're known for our ability to market and sell your company to top-tier candidates, not the other way around. While other creative headhunters are busy chasing numbers, we're busy building relationships that last.

What Makes Us Different in Creative Agency Recruitment

Over Four Decades of Combined Experience

Our consultants aren't generalists trying to fill every role under the sun. Each team member is a niche specialist within the creative industries, bringing together over 40 years of combined creative recruitment experience. We know the difference between a brand designer and a UX designer, between an account manager and a client services director, because we've lived and breathed this industry.

We're Brutally Honest (And You'll Love Us For It)

Here's something refreshing in the recruitment world: if we can't do something, we'll tell you straight up. No sugar-coating, no over-promising, no wasting your time. This honesty is why 85% of our business comes from repeat clients who trust us with their most difficult roles.

The 12-Month Guarantee That Changes Everything

While most recruitment agencies offer a standard 6-12 week guarantee, we put our money where our mouth is with a full 12-month rebate guarantee on every hire. Why? Because we're confident in our ability to find candidates who don't just fill seats – they transform teams.

This isn't just about covering replacements; it's about demonstrating our commitment to long-term success. Combined with our fixed 15% recruitment fees, clients save almost 40% compared to traditional agency models. Learn more about our guarantee here.

Our Approach to Creative and Marketing Recruitment

Personality and Culture-Based Hiring
