Reviews about "staff"
Return to all Reviews- 4.0Oct 12, 2014Contract Design ProfessionalCurrent Contractor, more than 3 yearsDallas, TX
Pros
• Good ability to match opportunity to skills/designer. • Steady source of variety of possible opportunities, along with spot projects to add to fill up a schedule. • Highly communicative and supportive office staff. If you're looking for a variety of short-term design opportunities to fill in around other more steady gigs, or if you're a new designer looking for assignments to build a portfolio, you'll do well with CC. I suspect those that grumble about their relationship with Creative Circle are the types that are most comfortable in a more structured work environment. CC expects you'll be able to do certain things like handle your own schedule, and conduct dealings with the client in a professional manner. To that point, my experience has been you get back what you put in. Share updates regularly, do high-caliber work, enhance your reputation with the CC recruiters and in a relatively short period of time, they'll be supplying you with a steady array of gigs aligned to your skills, or even putting you up for full time roles that are a comfortable fit. SImply stated, employ good work ethics, and be selective about the assignments you take on.
Cons
Pay level per hour or salary-based are low, but assume that's also often by client insistence. Hard to add many more cons - I've gotten pretty much I was looking for as far as ancillary contract projects.

Pros
Staff is friendly and professional in person
Cons
The recruiters aren't aggressive enough in representing you, advocating you and following through. I was submitted for a job I really wanted and it's been 3 months that I haven't gotten any feedback. When I inquire, I'm told they haven't filled the position, but they haven't heard anything. I agreed not to contact the employer and regret going through CC because I've seen the job listed as direct. I also saw the employer list a different position I'm somewhat interested in, but don't want to blow my chances for the position I really want. Now, I have no chance of that one, either. Soon after submitting me, CC posted this job, searching for other applicants. This seems like a pretty crappy way of representing me. I was asked to provide 3 references' contact information- preferably managers. CC asked them to fill out a rather lengthy form (1 of my references shared his responses with me). I feel like I "wasted my wish" asking this favor for a job that never had a chance of going anywhere. I wish I had waited to ask favors from these people until I was sure I was at a point that it would help advocate me. Now, I'm afraid to bother them again. Parking at their office in downtown Detroit is nearly impossible. I went to the garages they suggested and they were both filled. I was very lucky to find a spot on the street and not be late to my informational interview. A different recruiter than the one I had been working contacted me and asked me if I was interested in a job description that was precisely what I said I was not interested in doing. I asked for more specific information about benefits 3 times and never got any response. I also asked about whether they offer a referral bonus and never got a response about that either. Most staffing agencies offer $500 - $2000 for a hired referral. I guess they offer nothing.
