Testimonials
Corinna and Annabel are a pleasure to work with. They have consistently secured me freelance work at a competitive rate. More importantly they place me in roles where I fit culturally — so much so that on several occasions, bookings that were initially a few days turned into weeks, then months.
Hartas&Craig always seem to know the right questions to ask you, giving them great insight into understanding what type of talent is needed in your business. What I really love about them is they operate with complete integrity and are always compassionate towards the candidates they put in front of me, actively seeking helpful feedback regardless. They're a pleasure.
Corinna is a legend. Smart, sharp, well—connected and an all—round ace human being. I met her when I was working in London and looking to move to Sydney. Her help, support and advice were invaluable. And, although she didn't end up placing me, she's stayed in regular contact since then and I've come to regard her as astute judge of creative work, professional situations and the lie of the land in the industry.
Corinna and Annabel have looked after me over the years like family. Creatives in this industry need nurturing, and Hartas & Craig get that. Yet they are never patronising. I find them open and sincere and know I can go to them for advice and support whenever I need it. They're also the queens of agency culture. They've fine—tuned the art of sending me to places with workplace dynamics that fit, and visa versa.
I've known Corinna for over 12 years now. And I've had the pleasure of also working with Annabel over the last 6 months. In all that time, Hartas & Craig have never let me down. Back in 2011, Corinna helped me land a job at a big Sydney agency. 9 years on and I was still there — I loved it and didn't want to leave. Recently, they helped me find a longterm freelance position during the turmoil of COVID. What I like about them is they look for the right person for the job. Sounds obvious but not many recruiters do that well. They get to know you and understand your background, personality and strengths. So when you're placed somewhere, you're actually set up for success. Plus they don't set and forget. It feels like a partnership, not a one—off interaction. They're also a lovely duo and extremely easy to deal with. The fact that they're still the only recruiter I go with says everything.
We were searching for a sophisticated, digital-first designer to support the redesign of our agency website - and the growing demand for digital brand solutions. Following a detailed discussion with Corinna, the brief was agreed and the level of resource defined. Much to my relief, within a matter of days, a number of elegant, idea-led portfolios arrived in my inbox. Our website is now almost ready to launch and a number of elegant new client websites are in the works. As a long-time recruitment sceptic, I'm glad to say, I've been converted :) Thanks Corinna.
