I don't understand this. So many talented, experienced creatives relentlessly searching for work. Recruiters have limited answers, let alone jobs. And yet in-house recruiters throw out gigs on LinkedIn like chum in the water. The result? Hundreds of responses in a few hours. Agency recruiter will never respond to 3/4 of their DM's which is a shitty feeling. Nor does this tactic seem to be the best route for them to find the most qualified talent they seek. This is literally what recruiters do.

Guessing that it’s to search within their broader network. A lot of the senior people may be more comfortable hiring people they know or come recommended from their social/work circle.

“Must be a giant sports fan but not like you know a misogynistic meathead cisgender white dude-bro sports fan— you need to be a sports fan who also knows what ‘LGBTQ people” are here on earth. 🙄

The cattle calls ensue!
