Anyone worked with a headhunter/recruiter before? Is there anything I should be watching out for?

With the Omnicom/IPG merger I'm sensing some other firms trying to snag some talent.

Just make sure they are legit. I had one ask for last numbers of my social before putting me up for a job which was odd. Watch out for SpectraForce. They are headquartered in India and do that.

But yes and no on firms looking to snag talent. It's a tough market right now. Unless you are top talent that can bring clients or have won tons of creative awards, there are dozens of applicants for every job now because of the acquisition layoffs — it was NOT a merger — and most of the people at Omnicom are also now looking to jump ship due to the bad benefits and RTO policies.

Be aware of anybody who contacts you on LinkedIn. Make sure you research their credentials. If they ask you for personal information or money run.
