Do agencies like Mother and 72andsunny post jobs on LinkedIn or is the hiring process more internal? Never see any job alerts

These agencies are already interviewing by the time they post. Posting is a legal technicality they need to do so they don’t get sued for nepotism

In general, creative agencies don't hire through places like LinkedIn or other job posting sites.

First, they are constantly receiving portfolios from creatives.

Second, it's a small industry and since a good portfolio can be faked, most agencies put a lot of stake in personal referrals. So, you have a much better chance if you know someone in the agency.

Third, if they don't find good creatives the first two ways, they generally use a headhunter.

The main takeaway here should be, that as a creative, you should not rely on LinkedIn (or other job posting sites). Focus on keeping in touch with other creatives. Reaching out to ones you haven't met yet. And connect with a headhunter or two.

The creative side of advertising just doesn't hire the way most jobs do.

I’ve worked at both agencies. Recruited by one, through a friend for the other.

Email the recruiter. I used to work there and they are great at responding.

They never post jobs. They find you or get internal references.

At places like those, it’s so much easier to just reach out to current employees who have insider info. I’ve personally never seen any job postings for Mother on Linkedin or their site either

@ECD1 (or anyone):

Seeing a job on LinkedIn (or similar site) makes sense that it’s already too late, but what about openings posted directly on the agency’s careers page?

Does that follow the same guideline that they are just posting it for legal technicality and realistically they already have a quality candidate pool of behind the scenes candidates before the role even goes public?

Also is it any different for non-creative roles or is it all the same racket?

I work at one of these and the job wasn’t posted, but I was recruited

Wow, so they literally won't let any outsider in.

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!

Recruiter from Amazon reached out for a phone screen for a L7 role st Amazon - Principal Product Manager, Technical. I'm a first year M and have been in consulting mostly. I do have the technical expertise the role requires but no product management experience per se. Think L7 at Amazon for me is a reach. My concern is if I interview and fail, I will be barred from interviewing from another role for 6 to 12 months. Should I give it a shot or save my chance for something more realistic (e.g. L6)?
