How many years of experience is considered standard for Senior Copywriters to be eligible for ACD roles? I've been one for 1.5 years and feel and think I'm ready for the next step, mostly because I know I'm better at the functions of an ACD than I am at my current job. Why are recruiters so skeptical about this? I'm always asked if I think I have the chops...it's kind of disrespectful.

Many agencies look for something like 7–10 years of total copy experience and a couple of years at a senior level before they’ll feel comfortable with someone as an ACD, because the job is as much about leading people, clients, and production as it is about writing. The “do you have the chops?” question is annoying, but they’re really probing whether you have management, production, and client‑lead experience yet, so the more you can show concrete examples of leading teams and shepherding work from idea to final.

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?
