Hiring a graphic designer
A graphic design recruitment agency cuts through the hardest problem in hiring designers: every portfolio looks good, and portfolios alone don't tell you who's fast, reliable and easy to brief. Cemoh vets for all of it and shortlists proven designers within 48 hours.
Template tools have made average design free, which is exactly why considered design now stands out. The designers we vet in Australia are the ones brands keep going back to — professionals who think about the message before the artboard and deliver files the rest of the team can actually use.
Designers slot in flexibly: a project fee for a brand identity or campaign suite, a monthly retainer for always-on marketing collateral, or part-time days embedded with your marketing team during a busy season.
Typical day rate
$330–$1350 a day, averaging $668 — see the Graphic Designer rate guide

How Cemoh compares to a traditional creative recruitment agency
Same goal — the right marketer in your business. A very different way of getting there.
| Comparison area | Cemoh | Traditional agency |
|---|---|---|
| Choice of talent | Australia's largest pool of vetted marketers — 779+ to choose from | Limited to whoever they can source for the brief |
| Speed | Curated shortlist within 48 hours | Weeks of searching, advertising and screening |
| Ways to engage | Freelance, part-time or permanent — switch as needs change | Usually permanent placements only |
| Who does the vetting | Senior marketers — we vet on craft, not keywords | Generalist recruiters screening résumés |
| Marketing expertise | Run by marketers who know what good looks like | Recruiters, not marketers |
| Commitment | No lock-in — scale up or down whenever you need | Large upfront placement fee for a fixed, permanent hire |
Frequently asked questions about graphic designer recruitment
Answers to common questions about hiring graphic designers through Cemoh.
How does Cemoh vet graphic designers beyond the portfolio?
Portfolios show ceiling; we check floor. Vetting covers how a designer handles a real brief — interpreting it, asking the right questions, turning work around — plus references from repeat clients and a review of file craft, because beautiful flat images with chaotic source files cost your team for years.
Can one designer cover both brand work and performance creative?
Some can, and we flag them, but they're genuinely different specialities. Brand designers build identities and systems; performance designers iterate ad creative against conversion data at speed. If your brief includes both, we'll either find the rare hybrid or recommend splitting the work — what we won't do is pretend every designer does everything.
What design tools do your designers work in?
The Adobe suite and Figma cover most of the network, with Canva fluency increasingly requested so internal teams can edit templates the designer sets up. If your workflow depends on a specific stack — Figma for product collaboration, say, or InDesign for long documents — tell us and we'll filter for it.
How much does it cost to hire a graphic designer?
Freelance graphic designers on Cemoh typically charge between $330 and $1,350 a day, averaging around $668 — see our Graphic Designer rate guide for the live figures. For permanent placements, our recruitment fee generally starts at around 15% of the candidate's first-year salary.
