Creative circle can take a 40-50% cut. So if you think you’re paying for $100/hour talent you might very well be paying for someone who will accept $50-60/ hour and the talent will reflect this.

As someone who used to work in creative staffing, if you can avoid it, don’t hire through a staffing firm. You’ll get much higher quality talent paying the freelancer direct. If your budget is $100/hr, you’re going to get $50-60/hr talent from the staffing firm because they take the rest.

I can recommend a few creative recruiters who are wayyyyy better to use for your staffing needs. Never use staffing firms unless it’s an executive niche role in some very very specialized business.

Onward Search of the four has the best reputation among designers but if you’re looking for someone with a fancier book I would try Creative People, Good Souls or Sam & Lori. If you’re just looking for someone with basic production chops what you have listed is fine, sans Creative Circle because they treat their freelancers horribly.

Hi Fishes,

Thanks.
