About Creative People Direct
Who are creativepeopledirect.com.au?
We are an online DIY Recruitment service, exclusively for the creative industry.
Our Mission Statement
Creative People Direct aims to change the way the creative industry recruits by simplifying the recruitment process to the minimum cost and effort, by putting creative candidates and employers in direct communication.
Our Values:
Simplicity
If you over complicate things, then you're just making things too hard! Simple!
Efficiency
If it's simple, then it's efficient!
Community
We're all creative, so lets share the same space. We say NO to Architects in one corner (wearing black), and designers in another corner (with their Ipods) - Mingle baby!!! Spread the love!
Self Worth
If you don't understand your self worth, then you can't promote yourself acurately to an employer. It's not about blowing your own trumpet as such, it's just about understanding what you are capable of and what you excel at.
Who is our Target Market?
Our target market is small to medium sized companies, ranging from Design Agencies, Advertising Agencies, Architectural Practices, Interior Design Practices, Marketing & Communication Companies, Freelancers and Support Staff to name but a few.
So, what's the story
?
Historically, prior to the booming business of online job boards, other than placing adverts in industry magazines, another option for recruiting staff has been to employ the services of recruitment agencies.
Generally, recruiters commissions of approximately 15% of a yearly salary for a small to medium agency can be crippling, especially when added to the resources needed to complete the recruitment process during interviewing and training periods.
Overall, when recruiting for example a senior designer on a yearly salary of $75,000, a small agency could expect to pay up to $11,250 in commission alone.
Add to this a couple of independent online ads at $150+ per month, and the extra time incurred in briefing and chasing recruiters and sifting through hundreds of highly inappropriate resume responses to an generalist online job board ad, and recruitment costs can accumulate up to anywhere in the region of $15,000 for this single appointment.
Let's cut to the chase...
Small to medium sized business in the creative industry have the following problems during the recruitment process:
• High recruitment agency costs
• Sometimes ineffective 'specialist' recruitment agencies
• Generalist online job boards with massive inappropriate responses to sift through
Also, we shouldn't forget the candidates, who also suffer the same difficulties from the recruitment process:
• Recruitment agencies not understanding their experience and not exposing them to the right companies
• Generalist online job boards with most jobs being advertised by recruiters
• Not being able to get in front of the right people/companies
The solution....
Creative People Direct has been formed by people directly from the creative industry - so we know the business we’re getting into.
We know the best places to advertise to our target markets, we know the best way to communicate with them (we still are them!), we know the frustrations involved with recruiting, we know the frustrations involved with trying to get employment.
We also know that we've all sat at our desks, drumming our fingers, wishing we had the recuiters resources, without having to pay an arm & a leg for it.
Well, now you do - courtesy of Creative People Direct!
And you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for it - just a few fish fingers maybe....
