Unknown - Ollie Scott

Say hello to Ollie Scott. Chief ‘Unknownian’ behind the UK’s most unexpected creative recruitment company. A wild bunch of multi-talented humans working across product, creative, client services, design, strategy and leadership; building A-class teams at some of the world’s most dynamic agencies. 

Having founded Unknown in 2019, Ollie set out to break the mould in recruitment. By remaining curious as to what makes each applicant individual, Unknown has morphed from a simple idea and a £13K credit card limit into a thriving business made up of high performing, high earning, happy, healthy individuals. And while they’ve had to adapt to both changes in the market and becoming a more established recruiter they’ve retained their deeply human, misfit spirit. 

In this episode we discuss Ollie's learnings from the school of life, how to get hired in the creative industry (and how to hire properly) and how Unknown are transitioning from recruitment underdog to real and human recruitment innovator working with some of the best agencies on the planet.
