Episode 64 of ‘All About Art’: Discussing Art Recruitment with Emma Restall, Consultant and Marketing Coordinator at DRAW Recruitment

In this episode, I sat down with Emma Restall, Consultant and Marketing Coordinator at DRAW Recruitment. Emma has worked at DRAW for over half a decade, starting off as an administrator after finishing her master's degree.

DRAW is a recruitment agency specifically for the fine art sector, finding candidates for roles in galleries, museums, auction houses, and many other different types of arts organizations.

Listen on to hear me ask Emma about how she came to working in arts recruitment and what a recruitment agency does. We speak about the current job market, the importance of having HR, the barriers of finding a job in the arts, and so much more.

Thank you Emma for coming on the podcast and to DRAW Recruitment for the collaboration!
