From campaign assets to digital content, great designers help you deliver quality across every channel. At Digital Waffle, we’re a specialist design recruitment agency — we’ll help you find talent that fits your vision, understands your audience, and gets your creative moving faster.

Hiring designers isn’t just about reviewing portfolios. You need people who understand brand tone, collaborate well with other teams, and work fast without sacrificing quality. We’ll help you find designers with the right balance of creativity, technical skill and cultural fit — so they can make an impact from day one.

We recruit across the full creative spectrum, including:

  • Graphic Designers

  • Brand Designers

  • Digital Designers

  • Motion Designers

  • Art Directors

  • Creative Directors

  • Animators

  • Visual Content Creators

Whether you need a designer to launch a product, refresh a brand or scale content, we’ll help you find the right fit.

Submit your vacancy and one of our design recruitment consultants will get in touch to learn about your goals, team setup and visual direction. We’ll take care of sourcing, screening and interviews — so you only meet candidates who match what you're looking for.

Most design roles are filled in around 10 working days. We move quickly, without compromising on creative quality or culture fit. Every candidate is reviewed for skills, experience and style — so you get a focused shortlist, not a pile of CVs.

Beyond strong visuals, look for designers who can take feedback, understand brand guidelines and work well under pressure. Good designers make things look great. Great designers make things work better. We’ll help you spot the difference.
