I personally know 4 creative teams moving agencies in the next 2 months but then every single person out there will tell me oh the market is dry now and no one is hiring. BS, the market is not dry. People are just gatekeeping jobs. Sorry bit of a rant

Jobs are always available for people with the right books. C’mon, it’s always been like this.

Simple fact, there are less jobs and less shops in the UK vs US

It's all about who you know. This industry has always been like that.

Apply to the agencies they’re leaving then, assuming there are openings in their wake?

There are less jobs available than normal. Every recruiter will tell you that, and they get paid by finding jobs for people.

I don't think everyone is gatekeeping jobs...

In my experience, if that's what they said, then they don't work with them. Not all agencies work with recruiters and some agencies have exclusive contracts with recruiters.

When I've switched jobs I always contact agencies directly and recruiters. I ask recommendations from friends, but I don't rely solely on them.

I hope you manage to find a job, if that's what you're doing 🤞🏻

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
