Businesses Can Now Benefit From Specialist Digital And Creative Recruitment

Feb. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- As the way we lead our lives moves increasingly online, it naturally follows that businesses need to embrace the digital world. This year almost one quarter of the UK’s total advertising spend will be spent online, and by next year, £1 billion per week will be spent in the area through e-commerce sites. With viral advertising and online forums taking the place of traditional print and television engagement and the surge in popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, businesses simply cannot afford to ignore this trend. If you are one step ahead of the game and are already developing your digital strategy, the services of Brand Digital and Creative can provide you with an added advantage.

Finding and retaining key staff with relevant skills and training is one of the biggest challenges facing any business. When these skills and training are based within a relatively new discipline, it becomes even harder to distinguish between potential employees and the skills they possess. This is where the services of a specialist recruitment agency are invaluable, especially for businesses that are expanding and creating new roles. With specific knowledge of a niche sector and a familiarity with the candidates who work within it, they can provide assistance in ‘pre-hire’ considerations such as defining job roles and suggesting reasonable salaries before going on to source relevant candidates.

Brand Digital and Creative is the Eastern region’s only specialist digital and creative recruitment agency. A sister company to award-winning Brand Recruitment, the new enterprise is the product of Brand’s success and the evolution of the job market. “Over the past four years at Brand we have worked on a variety of digital and creative roles. Many of our clients started to recruit increasingly within the online marketing, SEO and PPC sphere, and would also regularly ask us to source graphic designers for them,’ explains Louise Allwood, Managing Consultant of Brand Digital and Creative, ‘These disciplines sat alongside our core focus of PR and Marketing, so working on these roles was a natural progression and one which complemented our existing offering. Over time, however,  the need for a specialist focus on these specific sectors has become clear, both in terms of being able to offer clients a full and in-depth knowledge of the market, as well as being able to adapt to a slightly different culture with candidates. For example, there are more freelancers in the digital and creative world, so we feel it necessary to offer a service to suit their needs’.

With seven years’ experience in recruitment and over two years’ as Brand’s most successful consultant,  Louise has spent the past six months preparing for the transition from Brand to the new enterprise, and has been encouraged by the reception she has received from both candidates and clients alike. ‘Both my existing clients and new businesses I have approached have been very receptive of the concept of a specialist digital and creative recruitment agency, and I have been surprised at the volume and quality of decent candidates who are living in the Eastern Region. Many of the candidates have been using agencies based in London, so have warmly welcomed the prospect of a specialist agency with local knowledge’.
