How to work with a Creative People Agent
Communication is Key:
Creative People is humanizing the recruitment experience. We strive to make this process as genuine and seamless of an experience for you as possible.
In order for us to help you achieve your career goals & ambitions, we want to be the best advocate and partner to you. With that, we also need YOUR help. The more communicative you can be with us the better.
Below are some best practices and standards on how we can efficiently and seamlessly partner with you to help you land your dream job!
Transparency:
As an agent, we need to know EVERYTHING
This is solely so we can manage your timeline and expectations throughout the process
We aren’t being nosey, we just want to represent you to the best of our ability!
Best Practice:
Other interviews: keep us up to date with other interviews so we can manage your timeline
Compensation: salary is just one piece of an overall compensation package. This can change throughout processes, so we want to make sure we’re aligned. What motivates you?
Equity, title, higher base?
Plus, we will always shoot to get you the highest.
Hesitations/concerns: If you start to question your interests in the role or team, be honest with us! We understand things change as you go through an interview process. We’re here to make sure wherever you land, you’re going to be set up for success + happy.
Communication:
We know texting is not everyone’s favorite form of communication but it is the fastest. It helps speed up the process and move things forward quickly for you.
We’ll always ask permission before texting, so please let us know what form of communication is preferred.
Best Practice:
The agent will text you after your first call so you can save their number.
Feel free to text us with any updates, questions, or concerns throughout. We are always happy to hear from you :)
Post Interview Touch Bases:
The BEST thing you could do as a candidate is update your agent after each interview. (via text, call, email)
This is so we can follow up with the client immediately to gather feedback, ensure that we are representing you properly, and to align all parties on next steps. The sooner we hear from you, the better!
Best Practice:
Touch base with your agent within 2 hours after your interview
Ideally you give us a quick call right afterwards to give your update + feedback, though a quick text is always appreciated.
Recap:
Looking for a job is a job within itself. We’re here to eliminate the worry, stress, and confusion out of the search process. These standards and efforts from your end will never go unnoticed, and surely help us in assisting you each step of the way. We’ve found great success in transparency, timely communication, and regular check-ins.
