Recruitment Pedigree. No Bait-and-Switch.

When you work with us, you get us.We are a husband-and-wife team of career recruiters who have put in the "hard yards" to develop the networks, intuition, and technical expertise that only two decades in the trenches can provide. We don’t just "match keywords"; we understand the human motivations and the complex nuances of high-performing marketing, digital, and design teams.AI has fundamentally changed how talent is found, but it hasn't changed how talent is hired. While others use AI to automate spam, we’ve invested in advanced candidate research and acquisition tech to do something different: identify the "unreachable."No Juniors, No Learning Curves: You deal directly with the business owners. Your brand is represented by 20 years of recruitment pedigree, not a trainee.The Hidden 1%: We use a sophisticated, AI-enhanced toolkit to access the high-caliber candidates who are invisible to standard searches and "off-limits" to less experienced recruiters.Honed Intuition: We identify the "red flags" and "cultural fits" that software misses, saving you weeks of wasted interviews.We’re keeping our client list small and exclusive to ensure that every role gets the attention it deserves.

What we achieve:

“I have always given Creative Mettle the difficult positions to fill as I know they will work hard to place them and have succeeded where other agencies have failed  They're flexible when required and have delivered on every challenging role given to them.”

"Here I find dedicated, hard working  individuals who actually make it happen. Quality candidates with relevant, honest information about them. They are serious about long term relationships and not a short term buck. All power to your format and dedication!”

“Finally a recruiter that knows their craft and understands the importance of time and accuracy when making key hires.”

"Creative Mettle demonstrated a willingness to truly empathise with our needs and deliver very relevant and high calibre candidates who closely matched our expectations in all respects."

I cannot recall spending time with any candidate sent to us by Creative Mettle that I did not think was time well spent and I would unreservedly recommend them as an excellent business partner"
