Consultant at Gemini People specialising in Digital Design (Agency + Industry)

Feb 2017 – Apr 2018 · 1 yr 2 mos · London, England, United Kingdom

At Gemini People, we pair like-minds. Because people who go better together, work better together and play better together. Their talents, attitudes and personalities complement each other, creating a powerhouse partnership of possibility. This starts by pairing you with a like-minded consultant, who gets you and your market.
We are able to offer this as we’re made up from specialist consultants, experts in sectors within the areas we cover, from Creative and Digital Agency, to Freelance and Industry. Our understanding, knowledge and passion are why we’re the leading recruiters for our chosen creative industries. Our partners include blue chip multinationals, household names and entrepreneurial SMEs.
We’re the best of both a large corporate and a small boutique, which means you get structure, consistency and access to a broad network, but also commitment, candidness and the personal touch. We’re Gemini People, because people are the heart and ambition of our business. So we continually invest in our staff, which is probably why we came 8th in the Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies in 2015. In fact, our people are the greatest proof that we’re the best at what we do.
Meet your like-mind. Get in touch with us now:
