Interesting experience so far. Uploaded my CV to their website and then I followed up with a call to be basically told to go away as I hadn't yet applied for a role. Surely as a recruiter you would want to talk to candidates.

Highly professional, helpful and friendly agency. I couldn't recommend the team at Creative Recruitment more highly. I have been dealing with Ciara on the freelance team for over a year now have found her to be incredibly supportive and knowledgable.
