Female-founded advertising recruitment agency launches by ex-Creative Natives talents

Industry recruiters Charlotte Flood, Steph Graham, and Mikhaila Warburton have launched a new agency to connect talent and companies in the creative space.

Ditching the “corporate stuffiness” of traditional recruitment, the trio have described their new venture – named no sunday blues – as having a “fresh, strategic, and truly human approach”.

The recruitment agency will specialise in creative, design, PR, communications, advertising account services, social media, and marketing, offering permanent, contract, and freelance recruitment services across Australia.

Flood has over 12 years of experience in PR and comms recruitment, helping clients transform their businesses – whether agencyside or in-house – and candidates achieve career dreams. She is particularly passionate about advocating for return-to-work parents and fostering inclusive workplaces. Flood spent the last two-and-a-half years with Creative Natives.

Likewise, Warburton spent the last year-and-a-half at Creative Natives, specialising in creative and design recruitment. Overall, she has spent nearly 20 years in recruitment. She is also a founder of female creative moment ‘Less Than 10% – Fuck That’, and last year launched the Creating Her Way podcast.

“We’ve worked with some of Australia’s biggest names, but what we loved most wasn’t just delivering results – it was building real, honest connections that solved challenges and helping people love what they do,” Flood explained.

Warburton added: “no sunday blues is our way of doing recruitment. We do it differently.”

Meanwhile, Graham – who also most recently worked for Creative Natives – started her career in agency client service before transitioning into the world of recruitment eight years ago. She also runs a graduate jobs community and hosts webinars featuring some of Australia’s leading advertising and marketing talent.

The female-founded agency will work to drive impact, championing pay transparency and advocacy for fairer hiring, and using their expertise to know what the industry needs and how it can improve.

Graham concluded: “We love this industry, we can’t wait to make it even better.”
