Based on the schwarts values I created three different concepts, each taking a different direction within these values. With the feedback from my client I broke down the concepts to their best parts and refined those into a new and final concept.

WHAT

The reqruitment agency of the future is māek, an agency that focuses on the creative sector. As intermediary between employers and employees. Offering a physical and digital space to our client. Within this trustworthy and stimulating space our clients can safely and independently look for their next step in their creative carreer.  

OFFICE

A physical space where the latent job-seekers can work, lunch, join events such as lectures, meet-ups and presentations. A stimulating working enviroment that acts as a in betweener, between home and work. It's here where they can work within the comfort of home and the focus you'll get at work.

SOCIAL

Our own social media platform where our clients get to connect with eachother and get in touch with eachothers. It's here where Employers and Employees get to view eachothers profile. Our clients get to view open vacansies and companies to view their skills and experiences. Our digital space will act as mediator between the two.
