In a noisy talent market, employer brand is everything. White-label candidate packs and microsites for search firms and agency desks, delivered in 48 hours.
Organisations we've designed for
The mission is genuinely good. But on a job board the role blends into a wall of corporate listings and fails to stand out. A slick, high-volume recruitment agency pack would miss the brief anyway. The advert's doing you no favours.
That's exactly why we exist. We work exclusively on purpose-led roles for charities, universities and social enterprises, where the mission is the strongest asset. We know how to write that mission into a brief that actually does the job, landing it in front of candidates who are looking for exactly this kind of work, not just scrolling past the list.

Ask about micrositesNot a side project, not a new "AI tool." One specialist who's spent a decade on executive search, charity desks and university mandates: packs that win pitches and fill roles.
“The quality of design really helps candidates understand the organisation recruiting, their values and brand. It also signals that the recruiting organisation is taking the recruitment very seriously. Clients are always very impressed, as most don’t have the skills to complete the design work and it really does bring the opportunities to life. Working with Izzy is always fantastic, she is very responsive to our design needs and adapts accordingly. We know we are in safe hands when we pass her a design project.”
“Izzy is a dream to work with. She just ‘gets it’ and has such an eye for the beautiful detail. I feel in such safe hands every time I work with Izzy as I know she will create something perfect and will hit the brief completely. I would recommend to anyone without hesitation.”

Candidate packs, job advert design, charity and university roles, and why your template still is not getting applications.
The visual and copy layer for how a role shows up: job adverts, candidate packs, social assets, and microsites. It is what candidates and clients see before anyone applies. We do recruitment design white-label for executive search and agency desks in charity, university and purpose-led sectors.
A designed kit for one vacancy: usually a branded PDF, social images, and rewritten copy that sells the role. You send it to candidates, clients, and LinkedIn when the listing needs to look premium, not like another board template. See our Candidate Pack.
A branded landing page for a hiring campaign. Candidates discover open roles, read the employer story, and apply from one shareable link. Our Recruitment Campaign Microsite includes up to three roles, hosting, click tracking, and reporting. £1,750, live in 48 hours.
Templates are free, generic, and salary-first. A candidate pack is built for one organisation and one role: proper branding, benefit-led copy, and files ready for email, print, and social. It reads like somewhere worth applying, not another grey box on the board.
What gets candidates to notice a role before they apply: the advert, social posts, how the employer looks. On a desk it is also what you show the client when you pitch the brief. We do the design: candidate packs and job adverts, back in 48 hours.
A designed pack for one vacancy. Usually a PDF, social images, and copy that sells the role properly. You send it to candidates, the client, and LinkedIn when the salary is fixed but the job still needs to look good.
A headline that hooks, copy that explains why the role is worth it, salary and benefits upfront, something real about culture or impact, and proper branding. Our Candidate Pack includes the PDF, images for social, the copy, and one round of tweaks.
How the role and employer actually look: job advert design, packs, social assets, optional job microsites. Not hiring a marketing manager. Not a creative recruitment agency that places designers. We make the pack for charity, university and B-corp desks.
Pick your sector. Know how you win the brief. Know what the candidate sees when they click. Strategy is the message; the pack is what they see. Put a pack on every charity or university brief and you have something concrete to show in the pitch, without hiring a studio.
Put the mission, benefits and flexibility before the salary in what people see first. On a job board, charity and university roles get judged on pay alone. A proper pack shows the full deal so decent candidates still apply.
Free Word, Canva and board templates look like everything else. People read the salary and skip. They rarely show benefits, impact or why anyone would care. A designed advert and pack give you something worth sending. See the before and after above.
Templates are generic and salary-first. A pack is built for one organisation and one role, with copy that sells it and files for social and print. It reads like somewhere worth applying, not another grey box on the board.
Win the pitch with a sample pack and proof the role will look sharp. Fill it with a pack per vacancy, LinkedIn cutdowns, and microsites on the roles that matter. One placement fee usually pays for dozens of packs.
Sector agencies usually sell corporate polish, retainers, and slower turnarounds. We're built for executive search and desks pitching charity, university and purpose-led roles: white-label packs, pitch-ready in 48 hours, visual language that fits the brief. Not generic commercial recruitment creative.
Agency desks placing into charity, university, B-corp or social enterprise. In-house teams in those sectors too. Especially when a role has been open for months and reposting the same listing has not worked.

Yes. Ten years on charity and university job adverts for agency desks: tight pay bands, proper benefit copy, layouts templates never get right.
