I have freelanced for many years. After I became a part-time caregiver for a family member during the pandemic, I didn't have time to run my own business anymore so I turned to a a couple of staffing agencies to help me find freelance assignments.
One of the agencies was a bust--but Creative Circle has delivered! Since 2022 Creative Circle has placed me on six assignments--a couple of short-term projects, but mostly jobs lasting several months, including one repeat placement--and I've had overall positive experiences every time.
I typically work with small businesses. Creative Circle has given me access to larger corporate clients than I would typically work with, which has been a great change of pace and has helped me stretch myself and add to my portfolio.
The employers met my salary requirements, the work was interesting and usually challenging (sometimes really fun), and Creative Circle's recruiters have been really responsive and easy to reach when I had questions or needed help. Today my local recruiter spent a considerable amount of time on the phone helping me strategize ways to make my resume more competitive.
No situation is perfect, and of course there are administrative things that I would change, but overall Creative Circle gets top ratings for the quality of the assignments I've received since I came onboard. I highly recommend them (except to my competitors!) read more
