A recruiter approached me for a position in HF. Then the recruiter said the company wanted someone with a more direct background. Is a no from recruiter a hard no, or do I still get a chance by just contacting the hiring managers of that HF and perhaps get an interview?

You are at the bottom of the list. It’s a 99% no with some wiggle room if they can’t find someone else. Move on.

Do not go direct, esp if the recruiter is hired exclusively by the Hf. The hf will forward your resume to the recruiter and you’ll burn your bridges with them for other clients

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

Sort of a stretch but looking to make the move from Business Development to Conference or Corporate Event planning. Any recruiters for that kind of thing on here or anyone have any advice/tips?

What would your reaction be if the company you applied to asked for you to get permission from your current firm before moving forward? The situation is the company you're applying to is a client of your current firm, and you've already gone through the interview process with the new company. Thoughts?

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?
