"With Dorothy's expertise and leadership, we will redefine creative recruitment, establishing a path to help our network and our clients plan for an even great creative future with their brands and businesses."

The agency will now offer clients several options for filling creative needs.

• Subscription: A first-of-its-kind, low-cost partnership model built for a brand's modern needs. With access to essential agency services, a subscription allows clients to keep as core team while supplementing with key services for larger scale projects.

"I couldn't be more excited to launch, lead and build this new creative talent acquisition venture. Since the onset of COVID-19 and now with the ?Great Resignation,' staffing has been a tremendous challenge for all industries, but especially the creative field," said Dorothy Urlich, President of HATCH Talent. "We are answering the need and providing vetted talent, allowing clients to scale up or down as needed, while at the same time, growing their businesses. I have always been a champion of creative's career trajectories, and I am thrilled to be focusing full-time on helping creatives find the roles they are most passionate about."
