Hey Fishbowlers! I have a friend who is wants to get in to the Portland Razorfish office. Would it be inappropriate to contact HR on her behalf to see about job opportunities and submit her resume?

Confused. Why doesn't she reach out on her own? Why be the middle man, unless your side hustling as a headhunter?

Well the idea would be to help get her resume to the top as a sort of referral since I work for Publicis.

Seems weird. She should apply herself.

⬆️ to be clear, I don't know anyone in their HR, but a friend of mine did forward the contact information for one of their HR folks.

Hmmm, nice thought, but if you don't personally know someone there (or work there) it won't be much of a referral. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try if you feel strong about the candidate.

Do you have access to the internal referral tool? Try that way.

Are those internal referral tools really that helpful? Never worked better than saying to the creative director "I know a guy/girl perfect for the job"

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set.

Has anyone had similar experience?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
