CDs do you have a way to make sure your recruiting teams aren't turning away extremely qualified candidates? Like I got told I was a perfect fit but because I'm looking for a justifiably high salary I never spoke to a creative. Unimaginative recruiting processes source unimaginative creatives. Or is the salary band coming from you, CDs?

If you aren’t within the budget I was given for the role, you unfortunately aren’t the perfect fit.

I’d be more pissed if my recruiter had you start the process knowing we could never meet your $, it would be wasting everyone’s time.

CD3 that’s the client’s money. There is definitely not always more money on the agency side for a new hire.

Definitely not coming from CDs. Coming from finance. How much wiggle room there is depends on the agency and how much they truly value creative in upper mgmt

Recruiters are waste of time tbh, we’re better off without them. I often bring on people myself because our one is garbage. She turns away good people because she thinks it’s cool, or a power trip. I’ve also been forwarded her feedback from a candidate, and it was embarrassing. Looking forward to seeing the back of her.

Don't understand why agencies let people who know nothing about our work gatekeep.

I once got turned away by an agency recruiter for a freelance gig, she said I wasn’t a fit.

A few months later, a friend of mine hooked me up with an ECD from that agency, and he brought me in immediately to work on that same account. The same recruiter handled my freelance onboarding.

One day our team had after-work drinks. I asked the ECD if the recruiter ever showed me to him. He was confused. I said I applied for the same role on the same account and was told I was not the right fit. It turned out the recruiter never showed me to the ECD at all.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
