Established in 1984, Artisan People is passionate about recruiting exceptional people for our stellar client base. We have long term associations with leading brands in each of the sectors we operate in - Museums & Galleries, Beauty & Fashion, Airside, and Corporate Recruitment. We are big personalities ourselves on the lookout for other big personalities!
In fact, the majority of our temp staff tend to be performers and out-going people who know how to work a crowd. Customer service excellence is key, whatever the sector, so we need people people. Our clients love us because we're good at what we do and always go the extra mile, and place candidates with the same work ethic.

Services
We are the kind of people who get excited about going into work because we love what we do. Every day we talk to and meet exceptional people, whether they're candidates or clients, and we are passionate about matching the right people to the right vacancies. Our Founder Directors, Jo Ashworth and Tim Seyner Harness, believe in providing outstanding, high calibre service for candidates and clients alike.
We understand that it can make sense to outsource certain business functions. It may be cheaper for an organisation of your size to leave your payroll to a provider that operates part time or you may require specialist help with your HR function that's difficult to find. We offer services so that you can focus on what's important, rather than getting bogged down in functions where you lack the time or expertise to carry them out effectively.
Artisan People specialises in temporary staff in the Museums & Galleries, Beauty & Fashion, Airside and Office Support sectors. We also have a permanent recruitment team specialising in General/PA/Administration, Accountancy & Finance and Senior Retail Management roles. We are proud to be the leading provider of visitor experience, gallery and front of house staff in the UK.
Being part of our retail team is a great way of gaining experience in some fabulous fashion and beauty environments. Candidates get the chance to work at wonderful venues and with fantastic brands including Fragrance, Makeup, Skincare and Luxury Fashion, enabling them to enhance their CV and provide them with invaluable experience that can often lead to even bigger opportunities.
We specialise in finding the best candidates for visitor services in arts and heritage organisations across the UK. We work with some of the country's most famous and iconic Museums, Galleries, Arts Centres, Attractions, and Venues. This means we're perfectly positioned to place the perfect candidate in the perfect role.

I would not recommend this company. They just want to get you on their books, but it was a slow recruitment process for me and you could be sent anywhere. Also, the cost of travel is worth it to go to these sites? Let go of the thinking this brand is so amazing and check the finances of travelling to certain zones over what you earn from here as I have had to travel for these roles in the past.
Please look do you research on agencies and find alternatives that are convenient for you!

I have worked through this agency for several months now and have had a positive experience. They are helpful and professional. I am particularly impressed by their speed of response to emails. They have a lot of shifts at a number of different venues around London so you get variety.
Overall, I have been satisfied with the service provided and would not hesitate to recommend this agency to others.

My experience with Artisan has been very positive. Head of London , Adam, has looked after me and my team even when the communication with the brand directly was not ideal. Very professional and kind, I would not hesitate recommending the luxury team as a fun reliable employer. Adam really makes the experiences so much better and I hope the company knows how lucky they are to have him.

I previously had some background in working within beauty and fragrance but working with Artisan elevated this experience to a new level. I have worked with Artisan for around two years now and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. The brands that Artisan work with are absolutely fantastic and are at the forefront of the field and therefore makes working with them an enjoyable and refreshing experience. The stores that the company are employed by are indicative of the quality of the agency as all of the major retail stores are linked with Artisan. The management are friendly and easy to speak to and to

I have worked for Artisan for around 2 years now! I absolutely love working for the agency. If you have a passion for fragrance and beauty, then I would definitely apply for the role! Shifts are really good and frequent, accommodating to your availability. I have made good relationships with colleagues and good relationships with management also. I love working especially throughout the festival seasons, as it is so much fun and there are loads of shifts to grab! Where some may find it a challenge, I believe the motivation and commitment is the one thing that will keep you moving! I would definitely

Artisan is a extremely friendly agency, they have excellent staff and are very helpful as they possibly can. I have worked in the Luxury division for 2 years now and I have always had an excellent experience with them. Margaret has been suberb throughout her time with the luxury division. But there is another person I believe is top staff in my opinion in the luxury division is Guy who is polite, hard--working, bubbly and always has excellent communication with all employees. Special thanks to you Guy for always looking after me and the rest of the fellow Artisan staff. I would recommend this agency
