Profiles Creative Reviews 

This is a review based on my experience with a recruiter for full time junior graphic designer roles.

I received a message on LinkedIn from a recruiter who was promoting a role in my specialist field. I was instantly interested in the role and sent a response, with the recruiter following up with a quick message. She kindly asked for my CV and for a quick call to discuss the role further. We had the call, which went really well. The recruiter was very kind and easy to talk to, and at the end of the call, she said she'd provide me with an update once she got back.

Following up from the call for a role, she messaged me with another role which became available, in which I said it'd be great to put myself forward for that role too. Once I approved for her to send my CV forward, she responded with a message saying "...Will keep you posted!"

A week later of not hearing back, I sent a message asking if there had been any update on both job applications. After that, I still hadn't received a response from the recruiter, so I sent another message asking a similar question. As a result of waiting for over a month, I still haven't received any contact from the recruiter, and the initial start dates for both jobs had gone bye.

The reason I want to mark a low score on the experience is because this situation is a prime example of why young people, like myself, who are trying to break into the industry (Or even to find any job) have been struggling for a long time. I think for a recruiter (especially in the creative industry) should know the importance of communication and being able to contact those who are trying to find a job. It's frustrating when false-hope is something so common amongst recruiters and people trying to recruit from in-house, resulting in a very disappointing experience.

Lillian has been so on the ball re finding me contract work - thank you Lillian ✨

I really appreciate the team at Profiles Creative for helping me build my freelance career. Making the leap into freelancing was honestly quite scary, and I wasn't sure I'd be able to make it work - but their support has made all the difference.

When I say I couldn't have done it without them, I truly mean it. Profiles helped me land most of my roles, and I always felt confident with a Profiles placement because they consistently matched me with jobs that played to my strengths. If there were ever any issues, I felt comfortable speaking with them and they'd sort it.

Great agency, quick to find you work and always keeping you up to date throughout the process. Abina contacted me about a role and it wasn't long before phone interviews took place and a role was offered. The role suits me down to a T so a lot of gratitude for both Abina and Profilescreatives work in finding the right role for the right employee.
