Available to work.

These Job Sites Aren’t Just for 9–5ers

  1. Creative Circle - Great for temporary gigs and freelance roles in design, production, art direction, and more. Many placements qualify for benefits like healthcare—yes, really! Plus, they offer a solid referral program: if your friend gets placed, you both get paid.

  2. Built In - A city-specific job board focused on forward-thinking tech companies and creative crossover roles. Built In also publishes insightful articles on where innovation and imagination meet—perfect for understanding how your creative skills fit into fast-growing industries.

  3. Google Jobs - It may seem obvious, but Google’s job aggregator is more powerful than you think. Set up alerts for your dream titles or locations, and don’t miss the Career Dreamer feature for exploring roles you might not have considered yet.

  4. Artisan Talent - This boutique agency places creatives in ad agencies, in-house teams, and content-driven companies. They specialize in matching talent with contract gigs—and their referral bonus program is worth sharing with your crew.

  5. 24 Seven Talent - Offering both contract and direct-hire opportunities, this platform is super user-friendly. Easily sort jobs by time commitment, location, or remote preferences. Already a member? Refer a friend and you could both benefit.

As the production world narrows, your career possibilities don’t have to. These creative-friendly boards are a great place to start expanding your search. Reach out directly to recruiters, ask thoughtful questions, and start reshaping your profile to match the opportunities ahead. Go get 'em.
