Creative production hiring requirements vary by stage, pressure and consequence.
Sometimes it’s building long-term capability. Sometimes it’s time-critical delivery support. Our industry specialism built over several years means we look beyond job descriptions and CVs to identify capability aligned to your requirements more quickly, so shortlists keep pace and delays are reduced.
Capability is becoming easier to claim than to deliver as AI becomes more common across organisations. We apply that judgement across permanent, contract and executive search, depending on what you need at that point.
Executive search demands discretion and clarity. We work from the mandate, the constraints, and where accountability sits across production, technology, and commercial functions. Then run a structured process from the first approach through close.
Capability claims are becoming easier to inflate and harder to prove. We identify leaders who can set direction, integrate change across the organisation, and carry it through delivery under real constraints, where decisions have lasting impact.
Permanent hiring in creative production is a long-term decision with immediate delivery impact. We work from how your workflows operate in practice, where constraints sit, and how production technology, including AI, is being used today.
Shortlists are built around capabilities that integrate into those workflows and remain effective as tools, teams and requirements change. The aim is straightforward: a permanent hire that strengthens delivery now and reduces the risk of rework later.
Contract and interim hiring is often driven by timing and consequence. You may need specialist capability, additional delivery support, or short-term cover as production technology evolves and AI-enabled processes are introduced.
We move quickly from a clear brief to direct conversations with relevant contractors, then keep pace through shortlist, interviews and close with structure. That reduces avoidable delay and protects delivery when pressure is highest.
When workload increases or specialist capability is needed for a defined period, role-by-role hiring can slow delivery and add risk. This route is designed for teams that need extra capacity or skills not held in-house, without making permanent hires. We assemble complete project teams aligned to your requirements, then keep pace through mobilisation so delivery starts cleanly. You maintain creative and technical control throughout.
Typical engagements
- Pilot programmes: small teams to validate a concept in real production conditions and reach a production pilot.
-
Workflow integration projects: teams to introduce new production technology, including AI-enabled processes, without compromising delivery, quality, client trust or data.
-
Innovation and R&D sprints: specialist teams for a defined period to prototype, test and explore new approaches.
-
Full delivery teams: complete squads for campaigns or products requiring coordinated delivery across creative, production and engineering disciplines.
How it works
-
Define the mandate: you share requirements, constraints and timeline. We come back with a clear view on team shape, scope and mobilisation plan.
-
Assemble and mobilise: we handle team assembly, contracts and logistics, then keep pace through onboarding and start. Work is delivered under your brand and standards.
-
Scale with the project: add specialist capability when needed and reduce team size as phases change, while keeping delivery requirements covered.
-
Knowledge transfer: documentation, training and handover are built in so capability carries through after the project.
-
Clear commercial structure: defined milestones and fixed project scope, reducing risk compared to multiple individual hires running in parallel.
