Testimonials

Without a doubt, the best recruiters I've ever dealt with. They put me forward for a role that was a great fit, which has now become ongoing after a one-year contract. Carl and the team are also very responsive and supportive, something we designers especially need in these uncertain times. Thank you to the team!

I have been working with Macpeople on both sides of the design spectrum for many years. Kathy is always attentive, highly knowledgable, and hugely supportive. I cannot recommend Kathy and the Macpeople team highly enough.

Jobseeker FAQs

  • How can Macpeople help me find my next role?

    At Macpeople, we specialise in marketing, creative, design and digital recruitment so we understand how these industries really work. We take the time to get to know you, your skills and your career goals, then connect you with roles that genuinely fit. Whether you’re looking for freelance, contract or permanent work, we’ll help you find opportunities where you can do your best work and feel valued.

  • Do I need a portfolio or examples of work to register?

    If you’re in a creative, design or digital role, a portfolio or work samples are essential, it helps us present you to clients in the best possible light. Don’t worry if yours isn’t polished yet; we can offer advice on how to refine it before we start sending it out. For marketing, content or comms roles, case studies or examples of campaigns you’ve contributed to are also helpful.

  • What’s it like working with Macpeople as a freelancer or contractor?

    We make the process easy. Once you’re onboarded, you’ll have access to a range of freelance and contract opportunities across Sydney and beyond. We handle the admin and client side so you can focus on the work itself. Many of our freelancers go on to secure repeat bookings or even permanent roles through us, it’s all about building trusted relationships and matching you with great teams quickly.

  • What types of roles do you recruit for?

    We focus on creative, marketing, digital and design roles across all levels from entry-level to senior management. That includes everything from graphic and digital designers to marketing managers, copywriters, brand specialists and content creators. Because we work closely with a mix of agencies, studios and in-house teams, we often know about opportunities before they’re advertised.

  • How quickly can I expect to find a role once I register?

    It really depends on your skills, experience and availability but things can move fast. Some of our freelancers start working within days, while permanent roles can take a little longer as we find the right fit. Either way, we stay in touch and keep you updated throughout the process, so you’ll always know where things stand.

  • Why should I choose Macpeople over applying directly to companies?

    Because we do more than just send your CV. We act as your advocate giving you feedback, helping you present your experience in the best way, and introducing you to roles that align with your goals. Our clients trust us, so your application often lands directly with decision-makers. It’s a smoother, more personal process that saves you time and gets better results.
