I got my job at BBDO and WPP through a recruiter.

Like, to hire? Are you asking people to recommend creative recruiters to you?

Anyone who can help you get a job is worth talking to. Usually it’s through a friend or someone on the inside. And that starts with building a relationship.

I was talking to multiple headhunters, have a great book+resume, and they got me nothing. Not even one interview. On my own I booked a bunch of freelance, some interviews, and ultimately a very good job for a higher position I may not deserve (likely not; feeling impostorish). No one will ever fight for or believe in you as much as yourself.

They cost nothing. So yes.

Are companies still using recruiters? I would imagine many wouldn’t want to pay the fee these days.

I am looking for a new job at the end of a long career. I have excellent experience in IP and Supply Chain Management. I've been fortunate to be in a high-paying position in the Los Angeles area and I rarely see comparable positions posted. The comparable positions at my company are filled by one of the big executive search firms. Any recommendations for finding the rare executive-level legal positions or for landing on the radar of the big executive search firms would be much appreciated!

I'm a corporate recruiter with 3 years of experience. Finishing my degree in HRM 5/2022. I'm thinking of getting my SHRM -CP shortly after graduation.

I'm not sure of where to go after that, but I doubt I will stick with recruiting or my current firm.

Has anyone here started off in recruiting and branched out to other HR functions? Do you like your new role? Do you wish you stuck with recruiting?

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
