Recruitment, designed around your studio.
Every studio has its own rhythm. Every brief its own personality. That’s why we don’t force you into a one‑size‑fits‑all hiring model. We listen, we design, we build – so your team grows in step with your culture.
We speak your language.
We’re not just recruiters. We’re creative partners. Our team’s roots in design and brand‑side roles mean we understand the pressures, the pace and the perfectionism that drive your world.
We design growth, not just hires.
From salary bands to team structure and onboarding, we advise on the full talent picture. Think of us as your people‑strategy studio, helping you plan, hire and retain with intent.
Our network keeps your pipeline fresh.
Because we work across interiors, branding, digital and more, we constantly meet new creatives who bring fresh energy and niche skills to your projects.
Consult & collaborate
We go beyond filling seats. Need to review salary bands? Redesign your team structure? Build a retention plan? We’ll dive in with workshops, salary insights, and coaching to make sure your studio evolves in the right way.
Choose your model.

When you’re staring down a pitch deadline or a big delivery, sometimes you just need extra hands. Our network of freelancers and contractors, from senior interior architects to brand‑side producers, can slot into your project for a day or for months. We move fast, so you keep momentum.
Ready at short notice.
Trusted creatives across disciplines.
Flexible durations – a sprint or a season.
-
This is our bread and butter: we take your brief, get under the skin of your culture and curate a tight shortlist of people who fit. No CV blasts, no copy‑paste intros. Just thoughtful search and honest conversations.
We advertise and tap our network.
Every candidate is vetted by us.
You handle the final choice; we handle the rest (scheduling, offers and negotiation)
-
For roles that need more nuance, like building a new team, finding that unicorn skill set, or exploring a niche market. Selection + gives you more of our time and brains. We treat it like a mini‑retained search: mapping the market, advising on structure, and prioritising your brief so nothing falls through the cracks.
Ideal for complex or specialist roles.
More consultation, more research.
Reduces the risk of mis‑hires.
-
When the stakes are high, search becomes design work. We start with a half‑day workshop to understand your vision and culture. Then we headhunt quietly and precisely, approaching leaders who will not only fit the brief but elevate your business.
-
Your studio evolves; your hiring strategy should too. Talent by Design is our monthly, retained partnership for creative businesses that want to think ahead.

We align your business strategy, people strategy and culture, smoothing recruitment costs along the way.
Dedicated monthly sessions.
Reduced fees on placements.
A strategic partner who stays close and helps your team grow by design.
