Creative Circle Employee Reviews about "lot of opportunity"

Cons

not easy to get a gig, big competition...

Cons

As there are a lot of tenured people who have ownership over large companies (and all their affiliates / branches), it can be hard to find companies not being targeted that are large enough to give you big earnings; it is very much “my way or the high way”’mentality - you are educated on how to do things and not encouraged to do them any other way (v. Other companies encourage you to do what you think is best)

Cons

Seems really difficult to get traction, and I wonder about the strength of their relationships to the companies they place with. They seem at their mercy. I also don't get a strong sense of how much they are advocating for me with a potential client. I had a much better sense of this with other placement agencies.

Cons

They don't have a lot of good opportunities

Cons

- Incessantly call, even if they know you currently work a full-time position. Sometimes it's not easy for a potential candidate to drop what they're doing in the middle of a work day to speak on the phone. - Really advocate for contract/freelance work when you specifically ask for a full-time position, and then try to make contract work sound romantic by saying that contract work actually gives you more freedom to look for other positions that you think sound good. - Certain recruiters are pushy and manipulative. They will push you into an interview that you don't necessarily want to do. They'll also try and manipulate you into going to another scheduled interview when you have already accepted another position through them, saying that it will "hurt your chances to network in the future" and that they "understand that it's your choice" over and over trying to guilt you into going. They are actually worried about their relationship with the client rather than your future ability to network with people in the client's circle. - Once accepting a full-time position, all communication ends pretty abruptly. Probably because you're not freelancing through Creative Circle, but the abruptness of all communication ending definitely feels like they just wanted you for the commission (which, in the end, they do — but at least hide it).

Cons

None that I can think of. I haven't had too many issues arise that weren't handled quickly or professionally.

Cons

A lot of job offers and a lot of competition.

Cons

-Health insurance is offered through a company called Benefits in Card. Since this isn't a major health insurance company, coverage is limited (though you can pay more for a higher tier) and isn't accepted by other insurance businesses (OneMedical, Oscar, etc). I wish they would find a solution that provides more coverage.

Cons

Sadly most of the job opportunities offered through Creative Circle are part-time or freelance. Also, the recruiters take a very hands off approach and rarely work directly with candidates to help them find real work that is a good fit based on professional experience. As a job seeker you get bombarded with emails for job opportunities that don't even begin to fit your skills or employment goals and requirements. And worse yet, if you get an email for a job opportunity that interests you that you are actually qualified for you never get contacted back one way or the other after you email the recruiter about your interest in the assignment or your qualifications.

Cons

During Q1 the number of job listings is significantly decreased and that makes it hard to find placement. Not entirely their fault but still not a great experience. It also gets a bit confusing if you're being considered for multiple positions, seems like they have a lot of recruiter turnover so not everyone is familiar with the processes or how to communicate with one another.
