When we talk about business growth, we often focus on revenue targets, new markets, or product innovation. But here’s a truth that sometimes gets overlooked: none of these goals can be achieved without the right people in the right roles.

When it comes to employee benefits, there’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all. We’re all different, with our own priorities, lifestyles, and circumstances. So why shouldn’t our benefits reflect that?

In a hiring market that remains competitive even in a fluctuating economy, candidates have more choice and more control than ever before. Many are balancing multiple interviews, entertaining freelance work, or being approached regularly by recruiters and talent teams. So, when they engage with your company, you’ve got a narrow window to impress.

For many businesses, “hybrid working” and “flexible hours” have become standard parts of their employer branding. They’re used to attract talent, signal modern ways of working, and create competitive advantage. Yet what we’re increasingly seeing is this: without clear definition, these terms can cause confusion, disappointment, and ultimately the breakdown of a great hire.

We often speak with growing businesses that are in a critical phase: scaling their teams. Whether it's a startup moving into its next round of funding, a creative agency expanding its client portfolio, or a marketing department bringing roles in-house after years of outsourcing—hiring ramps up quickly.

In 2025, job seekers are savvier, more selective, and more values-driven than ever. And with top candidates often juggling multiple interviews, offers, or freelance projects, their expectations around how they’re treated during recruitment have significantly shifted.

There’s no denying that hiring the right person is a big decision. It takes thought, planning, and collaboration across internal teams. But in recent months, we’ve seen interview processes stretching out far longer than they used to – sometimes with four, five, even six stages involved. So, what’s going on?

We recently spoke with a candidate who shared, quite openly, that they left one role due to a personality clash and another because of stress. They were clear and sincere – but the response? Concern. The client felt they were “a bit too honest.” It made us pause.

In a fast-moving hiring landscape, staying in touch with salary expectations and market trends is essential — whether you're looking to recruit top talent, retain your existing team, or weigh up your next career move. This latest salary snapshot has been compiled from real conversations with clients and candidates across the creative, marketing, digital and business development space.

Too often, interviews turn into a one-way download: employers talking at candidates about the company, the role, and what’s expected, without leaving much space for candidates to shine. Let’s flip that script.

We all know that asking questions in an interview is important. But if you’ve ever found yourself worrying "Am I asking the right ones?" — you’re not alone. Employers love it when a candidate has done some proper research.

With inflation squeezing budgets, businesses tightening their belts, and consumer confidence at an all-time low, it’s a challenging time for companies across all industries. Many businesses are having to make difficult decisions, cutting costs where they can and re-evaluating their priorities. But in times like these, one area that should never be overlooked is marketing.

In today’s digital world, reputation is everything. Whether it’s choosing a restaurant, booking a holiday, or applying for a new job, people turn to online reviews for guidance. For businesses in the creative and marketing industries, platforms like Glassdoor and Google Reviews have become pivotal in shaping how potential candidates perceive your company.

In today’s increasingly interconnected world, the value of diversity and inclusion in the workplace cannot be overstated—particularly in the creative and marketing industries. A diverse team brings fresh perspectives, fosters innovation, and creates campaigns that resonate with a broader audience.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has sparked a revolution across many industries, and marketing and creative sectors are no exception. However, with all the excitement about AI's potential, one crucial question remains: How can businesses embrace these advancements without compromising creativity and brand identity?

With growing concerns about the environment, social responsibility, and corporate transparency, the demand for sustainable and ethical marketing practices is reaching new heights. As a result, companies are increasingly looking for marketing experts who can not only deliver results but also champion these values and implement them in their strategies.

Over the past few years, the way we work has undergone a significant transformation, driven by technological advancements and a greater emphasis on flexibility. As hybrid work becomes more common, particularly in the creative and marketing sectors, companies are seeking talent that thrives in this new environment.

In today’s competitive hiring landscape, employer branding has taken centre stage. With candidates conducting extensive research on platforms like LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and other social media outlets, businesses can no longer afford to overlook their digital reputation.

A new year brings with it new opportunities – and the chance to take stock of where you are in your career.

In today’s competitive job market, Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly becoming a fixture of the application process, especially in creative and marketing roles where staying on the pulse of new technologies can be an asset.

In today’s digital-first world, social media isn’t just a tool for promoting products or services; it’s also your organisation’s shop window, visible to clients, customers, and future employees alike.

Navigating the design industry can be a thrilling yet daunting journey. With myriad opportunities available, finding the perfect job that aligns with your skills, passions, and aspirations is essential.
