Hire Creatives with Confidence – Here’s How Our Assessments Work

Hiring creative talent is one of the most critical — and trickiest — responsibilities for in-house teams. Portfolios only show the polished surface, and interviews don’t always reveal how someone thinks, solves problems, or collaborates in context.

That’s why we created Creative Hire Assessments at Art & Copy Group.

Our goal? Help HR leads, creative directors, and marketing teams make confident, informed hiring decisions — backed by a process that evaluates more than just aesthetics or personality.

What Are Creative Hire Assessments?

They’re custom evaluations we design to simulate the kind of work a candidate would actually do on your team. But we don’t just hand over a generic test. We start by understanding your brand, your team culture, and the exact creative needs of the role.

The result? A smarter, more strategic way to hire copywriters, designers, strategists, and content creators.

Our 4-Step Assessment Process

1. Discovery Call: We kick things off by learning about your company, voice, values, and what you're looking for in a creative partner or hire.

2. Custom Assessment Development: We build a brand-aligned assignment designed to reflect the actual challenges or deliverables the candidate would tackle on your team. No guesswork, no stock prompts.

3. Candidate Review & Scorecard: Once your candidates complete the assessment, our senior creative team evaluates the work — looking at strategy, execution, clarity, creativity, and more. We provide a written scorecard and comments for each submission.

4. Feedback & Recommendation: We walk you through our findings, answer questions, and support your final decision-making process with insight, not just opinion.
