Success Stories

From Full-time Creative roles
Jess, owner of a beautiful Bridal Boutique in Hathersage, Derbyshire was seeking a driven social media content creator and sales assistant.
We shared the role with our alumni who completed our digital internship programme. Kirsty, one of our 2022 alumni, was a perfect match for the role.
"Given the nature of the position I was recruiting for, it can be a role many want to do but do not necessarily have the skills and back ground for.
Emma was instinctive in knowing the ideal qualities I would want that would be essential and not necessarily trainable. Going this rout meant  I was cutting out the sifting through of multiple unqualified applications that for a small business like mine was too time consuming.
The candidate has proofed to be a well matched for the role, and had done her research entering interview. The initial trial period is coming to a close now and it has been successful. Thanks so much for the help recruiting, I would definitely come back for future roles." Jess, Owner of Alexandra Anne Bridal Shop

To Freelance Creative projects...
Diane, Founder of Hearken Performance Ltd was looking for a freelance brand designer to bring her new business to life.
We shared the role with our alumni who completed our digital internship programme. Molly, one of our 2022 alumni, was a perfect match for the role.
"Emma really listened to what I needed and gained an understanding of what I was looking to achieve with my business. Emma connected me with Molly who had a portfolio on her website which helped me understand her style and whether it was a good fit.Â
Molly and I worked together when she designed the brand for my new consulting business, Hearken Performance Ltd.
Throughout the process she was professional and innovative, and really got the essence of what I’m trying to do. I have been delighted with the results and how easy it has been to work with her.
Thank you Molly for everything – I can’t wait to see more of your successes and I’ll be back for more!"
