Premier Digital love Creativepool, it is the best source of creative talent for us, especially in the Print and Graphic Design market. The candidates are very high quality, and the service from the team at Creativepool is second to none. Highly recommended
Ben Broughton Director Premier Digital
Yellow Cat Recruitment were looking to find a creative talent site to source the very best people in the market. We did our research and tried a few different options out - Creativepool won hands down and for that very reason we have continued to use them month after month with great success. Andrew, Michael and the whole team down there are all very knowledgeable and will happily share their insights and tips into how to attract the candidates you are wanting. One word – Fantastic! Two words – Bloody Fantastic!”
Jonny Breeze Managing Director Yellow Cat Recruitment
Creativepool worked fantastically when we needed to fill the role of Graphic Designer. The number of applicants was high, but also targeted, meaning we could find exactly the right candidate for the role. I also found the Creativepool team to be very friendly, helpful and professional, giving advice and guidance where needed. I would highly recommend this site to any employer looking to recruit in the creative industry.
Sarah Chivers Designer Intelligent Media Solutions
The service I receive from Creativepool is second to none. I found the staff to be informative and very proactive in their approach when assisting me with some technical difficulties.
The caliber of candidates that applied for the role and the profiles and portfolios that were available to view on- line were of a very high standard. This ultimately means the whole selection period is made a lot simpler and saved me unnecessary work. JML managed to recruit two roles via Creative Pool (Creative Artworker and Brand Packaging Designer). I would highly recommend Creative Pool to any companies looking to recruit Design roles.
Sarah Harrison HR Manager JML Group
After 4 weeks the total of received applications stood at 24. Reviewing applications, holding them up against the role I found that there was a consistently high quality and relevant number of candidates, some of which of very high calibre with relevant backgrounds. in short the match between the role and the candidates received was significant.
Throughout the process I have been given the utmost attention and superb service from James Dye at Creativepool not only checking in regularly how I though the whole thing progressed, but as well asking me if the yield was as desired. At one stage it was decided that advert needed to be changed slightly to provide better response. This was carried out instantly by Creativepool. On that basis I can only assess the trial as being a significant success and give Creativepool my endorsement when it comes to the respective role.
Jacob S. Madsen Talent Acquisition Partner EMEA eBay
Despite recruiting for a reasonably niche vacancy, Ben from Creativepool was confident enough to guarantee us results. His confidence was well placed. I was very impressed with both the calibre and number of candidates we received. Our vacancy has been filled at a fraction of the cost of a traditional recruiter. My thanks to Ben and the Creativepool team.
Andy Savage Noisy Duck
Creativepool has consistently performed for our clients, so always the first on the schedule for web, digital, design, content or publishing roles. We receive excellent account management and if an ad is struggling I am more than likely to hear from the Creativepool team before I hear from the client. They have a great product range and have a competitive pricing model and will suggest extra inventory that will yield the best response for the vacancy that needs to be filled. OME will happily recommend them.
Kork Desai Client Services Director Online Media Experts
Creativepool offer a highly effective recruitment service. They helped provide a good number of applicants while allowing us to make our own decisions as to the suitability of candidates, ensuring we found the right person at a competitive price.
Mark Kavanagh Studio Manager N1 Creative
Creativepool made it simple and painless to give our roles maximum exposure to appropriate candidates and then efficiently filter the diverse range of applicants to find those exceptional outlying contenders with the specific balances of distinct skills needed in our niche environment. Recruitment is often quite a grind - but Creativepool's service, support and flexibility eased the process significantly.
Anthony Bowyer-Lowe Research Lead Yamaha R&D Centre
I had some doubts as to whether Creativepool could deliver the high calibre Creative Director which is a really difficult position to fill. After only a month on the site, my advert found exactly what I was looking for at at a fraction of the cost of working with a recruitment agency. Thanks to Richard and the team at Creativepool.
David Exley Managing Director Ledgard Jepson Ltd
Creativepool always deliver an excellent calibre of applicant to any creative vacancy we have. The site definitely attracts talented and specialist people, and as a potential employer that is always good news. Recruitment can be an expensive process but we find Creativepool is excellent value for money.
Vickie HR Manager TW Cat Ltd
We recently advertised on Creativepool for a Design Director, a very important role for FITCH. I was impressed with the ease of the process. After emailing the job description to Creativepool, the advert was on the site within half an hour and we started receiving applications soon after.
Carol-Ann White Global HR Director FITCH
When Rubber Cheese needed to recruit our first employee we decided to use Creativepool for the first time along with another online job board.
What a good decision that turned out to be. The standard of applicants form Creativepool far outweighed any of the others. Of the 160 people that applied for the job, all successful interviewee's applied through Creativepool. The successful candidate has proved to be a fantastic addition to our team and we'll be using Creativepool as we expand again later this year.
Kelly Molson Managing Director Rubber Cheese
We used Creativepool when we had a requirement for a Web Designer. The whole process was simple from start to finish.
With a combination of advertising on the site and searching the portfolios online we were able to identify suitable candidates and find the right person for the role.
I would recommend Creativepool as a cost effective and targeted resource for recruiting in the creative sector.
Roland Schaack Managing Director Codeweavers Limited
We posted our Digital Designer vacancy on Creativepool and the other main UK creative job competitor. The latter resulted in just 2 applications - one from a candidate with no CV and the other from a PA in HR! In comparison, we received 20 quality applications from Creativepool and have been delighted to offer the job to one of these candidates.
In addition, I found the presentation of candidate details informative, thorough and in a format that was absolutely user-friendly.
We will definitely use Creativepool again and I will happily recommend it to my peers and to any creatives looking for a career move.
Thanks and well done!
Diane E-Commerce & Marketing Director Savile Row Company
As a small but rapidly growing agency we need a partner that can work with us and react to our ever changing business model quickly and efficiently, Creativepool has become our first port of call when looking to attract new creative talent into our agency for either full time placements or freelancers. The support we get from them allows us to rapidly implement and fill positions allowing a seamless increase in both volume and quality of production.
Jon Pendrill Managing Director Maxmedia Communications Ltd
When Creativepool contacted me I must admit I was sceptical, another job board....
I am pleased that I was convinced to give them a go as we ran an advert for a Senior Digital Designer and filled the role with an excellent candidate.
The key things I liked about the site is that it was so easy to use and that it is specialist so you do not get inundated with CVs that are unsuitable. I would definitely recommend Creativepool if you are looking for high quality creative candidates.
Edward Lloyd Williams Creative Director Cscape
We have been talking to Creativepool for a while now. So far I am very impressed with the level of response we got and the support we received throughout the process. I believe Creativepool is a viable, money saving option to recruitment consultants and will allow us to reinvest the money saved into the studio.
Kevin Martin Production Manager Addison
Creativepool is a great source of design talent and an effective way to build a bank of people with relevant skills. We filled roles at BDI at a cost of £400, compared to a standard recruitment fee of £8,000, it's a no brainier.
Jennie Child Talent Acquisition B to D Group
Creativepool made recruiting easy. It put the power back in my hands and resulted in a great hire.

Creativepool are one the few recruitment job boards/communities that actually deliver results due to the huge amount of relevant candidates that they attract and have registered on the site.

I have continued to recommend and use Creativepool within all the agencies I have worked and will continue to do so without hesitation. Keep up the good work guys!
