Design Recruiter – Creative

London | Design Recruiter We’re hiring an experienced recruiter to join the most thriving part of our business — our design desk.

Craft has built deep roots in the UK design industry. We work with leading agencies and in‑house teams across product, brand, digital, and motion — and we’re looking for someone who knows this world, speaks the language, and wants to grow within it.

Join our design desk – the most established and in‑demand part of Craft’s business.

You’ll work on live briefs from day one, backed by strong client relationships, a trusted brand, and a team of experienced recruiters who care deeply about doing things properly. Our design practice covers everything from brand and motion to product and digital – placing exceptional talent into some of the most creative businesses in the UK.

You’ll run full‑cycle projects alongside senior teammates – owning delivery while building confidence in client handling, market strategy, and long‑term relationships. We’ll support you to sharpen your specialism, grow your reputation, and do work that genuinely moves the needle – for clients, candidates, and your career.

We work in a market where reputation matters. Relationships last. So when we talk about high performance, we mean:

• Consistent results, delivered with care and judgement
• Quality decision‑making under pressure
• Commercial impact that strengthens relationships

• Have 2–4 years’ experience in 360 recruitment and are ready to take on more ownership
• Enjoy working at pace and keeping multiple processes moving at once
• Want to deepen your market expertise and build long‑term relationships
• Take pride in delivering well – with energy, accuracy, and care
• Hungry to learn and develop fast

At this level, success is measured by the consistency of your delivery, the energy you bring, and the way you contribute to the wider team. Financial success is a result of high standards – not a substitute for them.

You’ll be joining a highly experienced team, with an average of 10.5 years in recruitment. We invest heavily in enablement, brand, systems and support functions – so you can focus on what matters.

Progression here is clear, transparent, and built around impact. From Recruiter, you can move into Senior roles, and eventually towards market specialism or leadership – depending on where your strengths take you.
