Roles We Recruit For

Diverse Roles for All Your Beauty Staffing Needs

We recruit candidates for a wide range of beauty positions, from makeup artists and beauty advisor to counter managers and skincare consultants. Whether you’re looking for temporary or permanent staff, our beauty industry recruiters will find the right candidates for you.

Makeup

The popularity of getting work as an independent makeup artist (MUA) is ever-growing in the UK. As one of the top beauty recruitment agencies, Artisan People recruits the most talented and ambitious MUAs out there.

We look for makeup artists who know how to match foundation, apply eye makeup and understand the best colours for various skin tones. It’s important to us that our makeup artist recruitment process involves only those that have a real passion for makeup and are super talented at what they do. We then train them in how to provide brilliant industry-leading customer service for your brand.

Fragrance

Within the broader beauty and personal care industry is the billion pound fragrance sector. Due to its dynamic and fast growing nature, it requires energetic individuals to help customers find their perfect scent.

When it comes to recruitment for fragrance brands, Artisan People looks for people with great personalities, who are self-motivated and have tons of confidence to stop traffic. Brand training will be given, but we also encourage our candidates to do their own research on fragrances and brands.

Skincare

The skincare industry is thriving and skincare specialist careers are highly sought after. Boasting a huge market size, it’s largely driven by customers prioritising self-care including anti-aging, hydration and sustainability. With more and more people seeking out a super personalised service, it’s essential to have the right individuals working for your skincare brand such as beauty therapists.

At Artisan People, we take pride in talent sourcing for skincare brands. We hand-pick those that are confident offering advice and recommendations to customers. We look for individuals who are comfortable working in retail settings like department stores, pharmacies, and dedicated skincare stores.

Haircare

Haircare in the UK caters to a diverse range of consumers with various hair types and preferences. And those working in this industry need to be knowledgeable, empathetic and passionate.

Customers love to receive a personalised service, so successful candidates need to be able to make recommendations for specific ethnicities and hair types. It’s also important that we recruit diverse individuals so that customers feel comfortable asking for hair care advice.

“I have been using Artisan People for many years and have always had 5 star service for all my temporary staffing needs. The standard staff employed is always high and they arrive at the counter fully prepared for their shift. They are store approved and product savvy with great selling abilities. I have been so happy with some of the staff provided I have kept them on as permanent team members. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone with staffing needs.”
