WHAT WE DO
We offer the benefits of a full-time job with a freelance lifestyle. Companies come to us with projects that need to get done, and we come to you with the ones that align with your talents and interests. Sometimes, that’s one or two small gigs, and sometimes, it’s five full-time roles all in one week. We don’t guarantee jobs, but we do guarantee an extra pair of eyes in your job search so you can focus on doing the work instead of finding it.
Check out our Benefits tab for more information on what it means to work together.
HOW IT WORKS
Register with us, and you’ll go through a review and interview process (just like in any job). If you’re paired with a creative recruiter, you’ll work together to find the opportunities that excite you, and you can get to work.
If you’re not connected with a recruiter, don’t worry! Check out our Resources tab for tons of different ways to make you the most compelling candidate you can be. Make sure to share any new work or changes you make with us.

“I have been freelancing for 9 months and have relationships with 4 creative talent agencies in Orange County, California. In all this time, Creative Circle has been there time and time again. Just when I think to myself, “where is my next job coming from?”, I get a call from CC. Thank you.”
Art Director/Graphic Designer in Orange, CA
“The recruiters are to the point and great to deal with. They put personality and humor into it, while delivering all the details about a role. I've been working with them for many months.”

“Creative Circle helps me find a lot of great opportunities. I am so impressed by how hard they work. My agent helped me out while I was in Kansas and helped me relocate to California. I would definitely recommend this company.”
Senior Graphic Designer in San Francisco, CA
“I was working in quality assurance and completed some classes in graphic design. However, I was having trouble getting my foot in the door, even with a solid portfolio. After over a year, I had a bit of cross-functional experience with the art team at my previous job, but still no hopes of being moved permanently to that team. Then someone from Creative Circle saw my work on Behance. From there, I interviewed in-person, and in about a month, I had a start date in a temp-to-hire creative position with a national brand, where I am now full-time.”

“Prime assignments at a professional level - nothing menial - and really value your time and work.”

I applied online. I interviewed at Creative Circle (Houston, TX) in April 2017.
Interview
Creative Circle is basically a staffing agency, so interviews are used to ascertain professionalism and also how best to market your skills to their clients. The interviewer was personable and friendly, and asked about the experience listed on my resume and then we moved on to desired wage, location, etc.
