Don’t you think it’s strange that a lot of creative recruiters and resource managers never accept requests on LinkedIn? Blows my mind.

It blows my mind how hard a time recruiters have finding freelancers when we need to add people for a few weeks. I always assume they have a huge bank of people just waiting to bite. Noticed this with recruiters from other agencies who hit me up for recos too.

No, good talent is generally easy to find, just that creative recruiters seem to make it difficult.

The ones who make it near impossible to contact are the worst.

Yes it boggles my mind all the time because these recruiters are literally killing their own careers/throwing away money because if I get hired into an agency through a recruiter I am more likely to reach out to them when I need to hire talent. 🤷‍♂️

Supermodels never accept my friend requests on Facebook either 🤷‍♂️

I never realized a supermodel’s job was to recruit talent like me.
