A leading digital and experiential design agency with offices in New York, Los Angeles, Portland, Toronto, and Vancouver specializes in brand strategy, design, experiential events, and digital services that contributes to the success of well-known brands including Google, Nike, Netflix, Unilever, and the NBA. 

Business Objective

Needing to scale up quickly, this agency knew it needed to work closely with a recruitment agency that could deliver strong creative and technical candidates. Knowing the leadership team was stretched thin, being able to depend on an external team of recruiters who could vet and create a shortlist was required. 

Our Approach

Knowing that the client worked in a fast-paced environment where every second is precious, Creative Niche understood that the best way to provide the help they needed was to take a leading stance in finding the right candidates with our Full-Time and Temporary Services searches. This required a vetting process that would shortlist top talent, who the client could confidently interview knowing they were getting the best-of-the-best.

On the contractor side, Creative Niche was able to identify the perfect candidates  from their vast pool of creative talent who could hit the ground running and take on projects with little-to-no onboarding.

The partnership between the client and Creative Niche led to some incredible achievements, most notably the strategic hiring of 19 professionals across various functions, which effectively doubled their team size within just 1.5 years. 

This partnership boasted a remarkable 100% fill ratio, with an average speed to fill from intake to selection of just five weeks, exemplifying Creative Niche's efficiency and alignment with urgent needs.
