Digital Media Recruitment

Digital media is an exciting industry to be involved in, and the UK, London especially, is staking its claim as Europe’s digital heart. ‘Silicon Roundabout’, the area of East London that is attracting entrepreneurs and developers from across the Continent, is a focal point for web and creative talent.

Businesses are demanding increasingly sophisticated web sites and consequently the demand for talented web designers, user interface designers and information architects is growing. Our digital media division is one of our longest standing and most successful within Austin Fraser. We have clients across a range of industries including e-commerce, finance, insurance, social networking, online media and gaming, and more. 

The demand for our services is equally split between permanent and contract positions, and covers design, user experience, testing, web analysis and senior appointments including project managers and business analysts.
