At this rate, agencies will be staffed with only recruiters.

Good timing. We’re looking for a new recruiter. DM me if you want to talk to our recruiter about being one

I’ve met several recruiters who started as creatives and then decided it wasn’t for them. Definitely not unheard of. They were also some of the better recruiters I’ve met

No but I’m interested, too. I’ve noticed a few recruiters who used to work on the account side - it’s doable!

Happy to answer any questions

No but I am super interested in this path!

In your current position, if you've managed to somehow reinvent the way the talent/hr works within your agency, I'm certain its a cars that can be played for a transition

*following

I know a number of people who have done that - at ad agencies and staffing agencies that specialize in advertising. If your current agency has the role, I recommend sharing your interest with your HR rep. The transition will take time, but there may be smaller ways to get involved, like helping with intern recruiting. You don't need a degree in HR to make the shift to HR or recruiting, but it is one option.

Hey fishes,

Please note that you should NOT APPLY to a job on your own before asking for a referral at Amazon. In such cases the referral is deemed invalid.
Only candidates whose application is primarily submitted through referral are considered valid.

Note - Got a couple of such cases, so thought of posting this.
