We exist
Why would you work with them? They take 50% of your paycheck.
This is mostly true. The vast majority of third party “recruiters” who place freelancers are actually temp agencies who collect a market rate from the employer and their company will pay you about 40-60% of that amount. The other type, headhunters who mainly recruit for FT but occasionally will find freelancers for agencies, they collect a separate fee from the agency while the agency pays you directly and it will be market rate or at least close to it. This is very rare, much more common to hear from these folks for FT jobs or to hear from vultures for freelance.
Love how everyone says “yes they exist” and proceeds to not share names haha.
There’s Solomon Page Group, they have a creative division. There’s also Artisan Talent, and Creative Circle.
I’ve gotten a few gigs with SP before, it’s been a while since I needed to work with them though, like over 10 years, so I can’t speak for how they operate in 2025 but I did get work. Good luck!
Yeah I didn’t say I agree with how much they take off the top, and I’m not sure how useful they are in 2025, but I thought it was common knowledge that recruiters take a ridiculous cut? When one has no viable connections for work and needs to make some new ones, it’s a good way to branch out.
Drop some names
Yes there are. You just need to email them.
What keywords/job titles am I searching to find them on LinkedIn? “freelance talent” turns up nothing
Enthusiast
No you’re not. Just lots of remote goes on hold. Keep pushing. I found my last two via recruiters.
