Testimonials
Corinna is a legend. Smart, sharp, well—connected and an all—round ace human being. I met her when I was working in London and looking to move to Sydney. Her help, support and advice were invaluable. And, although she didn't end up placing me, she's stayed in regular contact since then and I've come to regard her as astute judge of creative work, professional situations and the lie of the land in the industry.
You're our first stop — of all the recruiters we've ever dealt with, you guys are one of the very few we're happy to work with. We've got a lot of personal contacts in the industry we can call, but we're starting with H&C. So have a look, have a think, and give us a ring. Because we've got our feet in the blocks, and we want you to be the ones who fire the starter's pistol.
Hartas & Craig is a great recruitment outfit. Their care and attention to detail is something I really appreciate. Corinna takes the time to thoroughly interview each candidate and provides a detailed account to an ECD, citing her reasons as to why she thinks the candidate would be right for you. I also appreciate her filtering. She doesn't just send you anyone, but really sticks to the brief and is very selective and considerate to fit the right candidate to the right role. Her recommendations have led to two amazing creatives who delivered a Cannes Grand Prix as well as a Black pencil. But beyond that two really good mates. I can't recommend Hartas & Craig highly enough.
A human approach to getting the right candidate is what H&C does best. They invest in researching your brand, your business to ensure everything marries up. A thumbs up all round.
Thanks so much for all of the work you've done to find us the best place possible. We said from the start that we knew we could trust you and we were 100% correct.
I've known Corinna for over 12 years now. And I've had the pleasure of also working with Annabel over the last 6 months. In all that time, Hartas & Craig have never let me down. Back in 2011, Corinna helped me land a job at a big Sydney agency. 9 years on and I was still there — I loved it and didn't want to leave. Recently, they helped me find a longterm freelance position during the turmoil of COVID. What I like about them is they look for the right person for the job. Sounds obvious but not many recruiters do that well. They get to know you and understand your background, personality and strengths. So when you're placed somewhere, you're actually set up for success. Plus they don't set and forget. It feels like a partnership, not a one—off interaction. They're also a lovely duo and extremely easy to deal with. The fact that they're still the only recruiter I go with says everything.
