lovely work @craigjbarber it would be great to see a rating of the recruiters by freelancers as they try to get away with anything they can. Better still: someone who would represent freelancers and who would be a actual freelancers' agent. YunoJuno are a bit like that. Also worth checking out: Futureheads.

@escapehatchco Yes, the recruiters are tough to rate / favour etc as we're all dealing with so many. I listed the largest and the best ones that are getting me work lately I guess.

I bet they would love to pay for an ad on your pages.

@escapehatchco I reached out to them... Crickets unfortunately... Now I'm pumping loads of free traffic their way!

@craigjbarber perhaps time to anonymise them, Grasshopper.

Hey guys. I’ve been freelancing in the creative industry in London for the last 10 years. Along the way I’ve learnt a thing or two. I’d like to pass this stuff along to my fellow creatives. Based on my own experience, as well as some great tips from fellow creatives, I’ve put together a free, comprehensive guide for all things freelance in the London creative industry. If you’re a copywriter, designer, photographer, art director, creative director or illustrator currently freelancing in London, or looking to freelance in London this guide is for you.

Nice guide, Craig! Slightly off-topic, but how do you find Crunch from a service perspective?

@thetomwhatley Hey, no it's on topic really. I find them very good. The reason being is I'm pretty crap with numbers and tax etc. I can call or email them when I have one of those types of questions and they're really good.

@nickclement Thanks Nick! So far so good. I can iterate based on feedback which is good. Already had a guy contact me in regards to some corrections which I fixed pronto : )
