About the Role
An established freelance and contract desk, a 4.5 day working week and the freedom to build your market in the way that works for you.
Craft is looking for an experienced contract recruiter to join its London team, recruiting across Creative, Design, Brand, Digital and Marketing for leading agencies and in-house teams.
This is an established desk, but there is plenty of opportunity to make it your own.
You will take ownership of the desk end to end, developing existing relationships, growing your talent network and winning new clients and accounts across a market Craft already knows exceptionally well.
You will be joining a highly experienced recruitment team, averaging 10.5 years in the industry. This is a grown-up recruitment environment where people are trusted to do their jobs, supported properly and given the tools and freedom to perform.
Craft invests heavily in systems, technology, development and support functions, allowing recruiters to spend more of their time recruiting, building relationships and growing their market.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Established freelance and contract desk
- Creative, Design, Brand, Digital and Marketing market

If you want to build a team and move into leadership, that route is there. If you want to become one of the best billers in your market, that is equally valued.
Who Are We Looking For?
You will already understand how to run a successful freelance or contract recruitment desk.
You will know the commercials, compliance and pace that come with contract recruitment and have a strong track record of personal billing.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
