Senior Recruiter; Creative​/Marketing

Our Contractor Division is growing, and we’re looking for experienced Marketing and Creative Recruiters (2 openings) who are hungry to build with us.

We’ve set ourselves apart by challenging the traditional staffing experience and staying laser-focused on being the best possible partner to our clients and candidates. That approach has earned us long-standing, trusted relationships with some of the country’s most recognized and respected brands.

We’re looking for people who share that mindset: relationship-driven, independently minded, proactive, and never satisfied with simply doing what’s expected. Someone who takes ownership, cares deeply about the experience they create, and consistently looks for ways to learn and go above and beyond.

In return, you’ll have significant opportunity to build your business, advance your career, earn meaningful compensation and rewards, and have a lot of fun along the way.

We’re hiring Senior Agents to join our Seattle office
, the headquarters of Creative People’s Contractor Division. You’ll be at the center of what we’re building, with the opportunity to make a real impact on where we go next.
