Toronto ad fish 🤠 I’ve spent most of my career working as a copywriter in London (6 years here, 2 years Toronto) and the market is pretty different here. I’m planning on moving back home but wondered….how do you find work in Toronto? Agencies barely post openings, is the recruiter scene strong? Is it mostly who you know?

Is the recruiter legit? Meaning does she / he have a history on LinkedIn?
Likely no. Every time I’ve asked for a timeline on something I’m interviewing for it’s “ASAP/ urgent / needed to be filled yesterday” and then its taken months for me to even get an officer
Perhaps she’s filling quotas for an agency so she can bill them. Like, she supplied 20 applicants for a fee. That can happen.
Probably just another scatterbrained or flaky recruiter. With your CV and number, i doubt you gave her any info that couldn’t have been found via LinkedIn or your site.
Fever dream during a nap?
Sounds like you were a part of a quota cattle call. As in you helped the recruiter reach the minimum they needed to get paid. Recruiters like this give their industry a bad name.
