NYC but I’m biased. Bigger office, more variety of work, and much better city to live in.

I’ll keep that in mind - many thanks

The work we do in each reflects the businesses around the area :). SF is much smaller, which is better for a tight knit office culture (happy hours, etc. ) but not as good for case choice

Yes it is

You don’t need a reason to go to Ny beyond I want to go to NY. And your resume “fit” for case work doesn’t matter at all. You just need to be impressive because it’s competitive. On the margin I believe SF is the harder of the two since it’s so much smaller.

Good to know! Thanks for the advice. Will ask my recruiter to move my interview to NYC (if and when I am selected for an interview)

Pretty sure SF is harder than NYC to break in.

SF recruiters have a cap not a quota ;)

Hi All!! Looking for advice and ideas on our corporate healthcare recruitment model. We support 3k employees and manage 250 reqs between two recruiters. We do everything from posting, screening, sourcing and offering and just got approved to bring on some much needed help for another recruiter. My question is, should we also invest in a sourcer to help with the req load, or another recruiter? We’ve never had a sourcer before but I’m curious to know what models other companies are using? Thanks!
