Steve Mills, managing director, Redhouse Lane CommunicationsMixed, and dependent on what skills and experience one is looking for. In some areas we've struggled to find good candidates and there is not always the depth and breadth of experience we'd want.Ian Ord, business development director, Fifth RingIt is our policy to recruit and train the very best graduates we can find with the view of progressing them through the company. Due to the economic climate and resultant reduction in the number of agencies there is a reasonable amount of talent available, and the fact that we are growing puts us in a good position to attract fresh talent.Richard Scott, managing director, Axis AnimationThe current talent pool in our specialist area of animation just isn't big enough to feed our requirements. We recruit people from all over the world looking to attract the best talent possible. Axis has had up to 13 different nationalities working for us at any one time. We also support local art schools and are offering internships to the best graduates; we've already moved one of those interns into a freelance role on a high profile international project.
