Business Challenge
This agency took off quickly, gaining a ton of traction right from the start. While they were inundated with hundreds of awesome candidates, they realized they needed a partner to help vet everyone thoroughly, consistently and inclusively. They also wanted to discover up-and-coming creatives and account service talent they hadn’t come across yet, ensuring they were hiring absolute stars to help them scale with strength.

Given that this client was a scale-up with evolving needs and shifting priorities, we held regular catch-ups with all their partners to keep everyone aligned and in the loop. This collaborative approach allowed us to respond swiftly and efficiently, presenting them with fantastic candidates ready for interviews. Ultimately, this streamlined process helped them hire and onboard top talent to enhance their growing roster of new business!
The Results & Impact
As a dedicated partner and extension of their agency, we have mastered the art of identifying and presenting the ideal candidates that aligned with their unique culture, accounts, and aspirations. Throughout our partnership, we successfully placed 25 exceptional professionals and achieved a 100% fill rate for all the roles we were assigned.

Our Client
An award-winning and growing mid-sized Toronto-based PR agency known for their amazing brand, culture and very cool clients (and of course, work).
Business Challenge
The President of the agency was looking for a new VP with a highly specialized background in the beauty space to support one of their most valued, and long-standing clients. As a small/mid sized independent agency, finding the right experience, personality and cultural fit was crucial to the success in this search. Given the importance of the client relationship, not only was this search catered to the agencies preferences, but also working with their client’s expectations.
Our Approach
By the time our clients reach out to us, more often than not, they need to hire ASAP. Something we are known for at Creative Niche is our speed and process. After an in-person briefing with the senior executive team, we created a custom strategy and executed it quickly.
The Results & Impact
We presented a range of vetted, qualified and very engaged candidates leaving our client spoiled for choice and a hire was made within a timeframe they didn’t feel was possible.
Testimonial
“I really enjoyed working with the team at Creative Niche! The entire process from start to finish felt personalized, prioritized and thorough. Not only do they "get" the nuances of running a mid-size agency and finding the right talent but they took the time to get to know me personally which helped them connect our agency to the right candidates in a meaningful way. They brought forward several suitable candidates and the communication and organization of information was top notch. Creative Niche helped us find a great hire and they did it quickly! I can't recommend them enough.” – President & Partner
Our Client
This agency located in a small community hours away from a major Canadian city was made of a mix of creative veterans and fabulous up-and-coming talent that all had two things in common - their love for the outdoors and creating great work, with a mix of small and mid-sized accounts.
Business Challenge
Agency founders were looking for an amazing creative leader who would possibly be interested in an equity stake down the road. Provided most agencies were in key markets, they knew it was going to be a big challenge to find a great creative leader to match their culture - and be open to relocating and living in a small city.
Our Approach
We met with the Founders to understand the history of their agency along with their core values, unique differentiators, and goals for growth to really understand everything they had to offer so that when we took this opportunity to market, we could get candidates excited and engaged.
We aren’t new to finding unicorns and also have experience helping companies in B or C markets find great people - and took this search on with enthusiasm. We conducted a national search, created custom communication, and branding, as well as a robust direct recruitment strategy. We understood we were going to have to cast a wide net to ensure we had a range of strong candidates to present.
The Results & Impact
We presented a range of qualified candidates until our client found ‘the one’. They were absolutely thrilled with our collaborative process, commitment, hard work, and for finding them an incredible Chief Creative Officer who continues to thrive.
