How was everyone really hired? Creatives. Rarely see job listings on linked in for CW or AD. Seems like hiring is underground.

For me it was all about reaching out to CD's - tracking down their emails and sending them a note. CD's are too busy to search for a team. When good creatives shows up on their doorstep it's more a blessing than a curse.

How much stalking exactly? LinkedIn connect and chatting up?

Never used LinkedIn, I feel like people don't check it that much. I used redbooks to find people's work emails, then picked the CDs that were also writers, emailed them, and on top of that just emailed a bunch of other people at the agency to pick their brains on working there/portfolio reviews

Someone I'd worked with in the past told me about it
