I can't thank Larissa and 80Twenty enough; I found a job because of them. I feel very blessed. I found myself unemployed right before COVID 19, and as a designer, this was not good news as I had to get my portfolio, resume together, and start looking for work again. COVID just made the process more difficult, and I sent numerous resumes to companies to just never hear back from anyone, I was feeling hopeless. Until Larissa. When Larrisa contacted me on Linkedin, our journey began. She listened to me during my interview and understood who I was, what I was looking for, and the type of company and role I wanted. The company she introduced me to, it was such a perfect match for both myself and the company. Even the people at this company spoke highly of her as she was able to match the right candidates to their needs. Out of all the recruiters I have met during this time, Larissa stood out, she listened, genuinely cared and kept in touch with me during the process. I highly recommend this recruiting agency, and I plan on passing their contact information to all my friends, colleagues, and family when they are seeking employment. Hands down to Larrisa and 80Twenty!! Thank YOU. read more

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Sam from 80Twenty.

I had a highly positive experience today working directly with Sam Cardenas. In my experience with recruiters, particularly those from third-party agencies, there is often a rush to process candidates quickly. However, Sam distinguished herself by taking the time to thoroughly understand my background. She asked detailed questions about my interests, my envisioned career path, and my long-term objectives. Moreover, she clarified that while she would submit me for this specific role, she would also consider me for other opportunities that might be a suitable match. The interaction felt far from transactional; it resembled a discussion with a career coach regarding both short-term and long-term goals. I have only positive feedback regarding Sam and her team. Although she cannot guarantee a job offer, her dedication to preparing me for the next steps and her belief in my fit for the role reflect highly on her and the team at 80Twenty. read more

If you are looking for a creative or media job, look no further than 80 Twenty. I have worked with this agency twice, once in 2012 and the second time this year - both have been some of the best interviewing and job searching experiences.

He put me in front of great graphic design roles and was able to generate interviews for all of them in less than a month. I was also just offered a job for one of the interviews. If find yourself not getting any responses back from employers, 80 Twenty will bring your job search up a notch... and guess what, they actually CARE. Thanks again Alp for your tremendous help during my job search. When I find myself looking again for a job, I will know exactly who to go to. read more

I could not recommend Casey Splain and the 80Twenty team more. Working with them truly felt like a professional and personal cosmic alignment and breath of fresh air from the stereotypical recruiting process. I genuinely felt seen, heard, and supported from the moment Casey first reached out to me to the time of my landing the job they advocated for on my behalf. Throughout discussing, interviewing, and settling into my new position, Casey and team were there to guide and motivate me. They completely alleviated the stress and pressure of applying relentlessly to roles during a dry hiring period, in which I could've easily felt hopeless. But not with them. If you have the opportunity, I highly encourage you exercise your full potential and work with them. You won't be disappointed. read more

I am a non-traditional employee with experience across multiple roles and departments in multiple industries so it is not always easy for recruiters to immediately know where I fit in within traditional corporate structures. Jaclyn is an excellent recruiter who sees beyond the resume, taking the time to get to know her recruits. Jaclyn always remembers to pass opportunities my way that are aligned with my skills and career goals. She is a solid communicator, supports her candidates, and supports the companies she works with to find long-lasting mutually beneficial relationships. We have worked together for over a year and I am sure we will continue our relationship long into the future! I highly recommend working with 80 Twenty for both recruits and hiring managers. read more

I came across 80Twenty when looking for full-time Copywriting gigs. I worked with Amelia, who is by far the most responsive, resourceful, proactive, and present recruiter I have come to know. In great detail, she would walk me through what to expect, providing insightful and very useful and pertinent information about the job description, work environment, cultures, and offer details. Throughout the whole process, from screening to interviewing to negotiation and eventually and luckily signing, she would kindly check-in before and after interviews to make sure the process is going smoothly, prep, give tips, and to answer any questions. Her generosity and kindness were key. I cannot recommend her or 80Twenty more! I am very very thankful I worked with her. read more

I recently moved to the Bay Area from NYC and was looking for some work in my field (Graphic Design specifically in advertising). I worked directly with Rachel Stock, whom I have not a bad thing to say. Upon viewing my portfolio and resume, Rachel tossed me out to one of her clients, whom unfortunately chose to contract another designer. This is where things get good... Rachel kept my up to date with feedback, and as soon as being turned down, found another project I could be a good fit for. A day later, I was placed and am currently still working that position. This whole process took less than two weeks. Don't use Creative Circle, use 80 Twenty, you will get MUCH better results, with a much less stressful hiring process. read more

I'm a freelance creative project manager in the Bay Area and just found 80Twenty during my current job hunt. The level of personal attention and genuine care from Annika Bryntse, Managing Director has been unprecedented. The employer to whom I was being presented happened to call off their search because they hired from within (which I applaud), so I didn't get this job. However, I have every confidence that Annika and her team at 80Twenty will continue to keep me in mind as new positions come around. I am very pleased with this initial experience and am excited to have formed this positive relationship. Highly recommended! read more
