Frank Lawlor:
I’ve been a Creative Director for 10-plus years now and for a number of different companies,
and I began working with Artisan about 10 years ago because I needed help with staffing
our internal design team.
I chose to partner with Artisan to build out our internal design team because I knew they
were experts, and I knew that they would be a long-term partner.
When it came time for me to decide about a creative staffing agency, I was overwhelmed
with the number of tasks that needed to be done.
We worked with five different agencies.
Some of them got back to me and said that it would take weeks to get me three people.
Others sent me hundreds of candidates right away, just to show me how good they were at
searching the Web.
And then, there was Artisan.
They came back to me with a couple of questions and a conversation, and within a day, I had
some really good candidates, and you could tell they were listening.
You could tell that they were using their experience and their expertise about the different
needs of the project to place the right person.
Artisan is different because they listen.
When you give them a request, they’re listening to the words that you’re saying.
They’re not just filling, looking for acronyms on a job description and looking for acronyms
on a resume, and matching them up.
They listen to the specific needs of the project.
They listen to things about, who will this person be working with?
Do they need to come into the office?
Can they work remotely?
They know the type of person that they have in their talent roster, the ones that work
best offline, the ones that work best in the office, the ones that work best online.
The attention to detail and the fact that there’s very little waste in what they give
to you, you don’t have to weed through a bunch of resumes.
They do the work for you.
My experience with working with Artisan has been great.
Every question that I’ve had for them, every request that I’ve had for them, they take
time to listen to it, to understand what you need before just throwing a bunch of options
to you.
When they do give you options, it’s really thoughtful.
I think working with a partner like Artisan has helped me feel more confident going into
a situation that might have a tight deadline and need a really talented person.
Before working with Artisan, I would maybe have shied away from doing a project that
was ambitious because I couldn’t find the right talent in time.
When you have a partner like Artisan, who’s an expert at finding the best talent, you
feel confident going into those situations, that they can help you out.
Artisan is a trusted partner.
When you’re looking to build your business and find the right design talent when you
need it, you need a trusted partner who’s an expert at finding that talent.
Today, in business, it’s important to look good.
Everything about your brand is constantly being judged, not just in the way that you
do business, but how you look.
Artisan can help you find the people that will help you look better, that will get you
to the place where you need to be to make your business look as good as it is.
If you’re looking for a staffing agency that knows what they’re doing, and a staffing
agency that listens to you, then I would suggest talking with Artisan.
They’re in it for the long term.
They want to set up a long-term relationship with you, help you grow your business.
