Hiring for a creative role can be challenging, especially when trying to get your job listing in front of the right candidates. Whether you are looking for a graphic designer, content creator, video editor, or marketing professional, choosing the right platform to advertise your job is essential.
In this guide, we explore the best places to post creative jobs in the UK, including both general job boards and niche platforms focused on creative talent.
1. General Job Boards
Sites like Indeed, Reed, and TotalJobs are widely used by job seekers across industries. They have a large reach and can help generate applications quickly. However, because they serve a broad audience, many applicants may not have the creative background you are looking for. These platforms are useful for building a volume of interest but may require more time to filter suitable candidates.
2. LinkedIn
LinkedIn remains a strong option for hiring professionals and creatives alike. You can post jobs directly or use targeted ads to reach candidates with specific job titles or skills. LinkedIn’s strength lies in its network-based approach, allowing you to attract passive candidates and receive referrals from connections.
However, job listings on LinkedIn can be costly and may not always provide the highest conversion rates for junior or freelance creative roles.
3. Creative Recruitment Agencies
If you are looking for a hands-off hiring process or need someone highly specialised, agencies like Eden Marsh, Major Players, and Represent offer dedicated recruitment for creative professionals. They have access to high-quality candidates but come with a higher cost per hire and longer lead times.
4. Niche Creative Job Boards
For more targeted results, niche platforms are often the best choice. These sites focus entirely on creative jobs and attract professionals who are actively searching within the industry.
Some of the most popular include:
- Design Jobs Board
- If You Could Jobs
- The Dots
- UK Creative Jobs (our platform)
Niche boards allow you to stand out among relevant listings and avoid getting lost in the noise of generalist sites. They are ideal for roles in design, content, video, and digital marketing.
5. Your Own Website
Many companies overlook their own careers page. Promoting your job directly on your site and sharing it through your social channels can generate organic interest, especially from candidates already familiar with your brand.
To improve visibility, make sure your job page is easy to find and well-optimised for search engines with the right keywords.
