I read a post from a recruiter recently complaining that there’s a ‘talent war’ out there currently in adland. Is this correct?

Tons of in house jobs getting filled by agency folk. Now agencies are looking for people but haven’t full recovered from last year so salaries are lower than usual so jobs are going unfilled. I saw an outpost of a very large network was looking for Sr CW. The salary: 65. Juniors in the same city start at 50. A large tech company in same city was paying Sr Designer 100k. Where do you think creatives are going to go?

I honestly believe most recruiters are full of it. They are picking and choosing who they like instead of passing qualified candidates on, so that the company can choose if they believe they are a good fit or not. I know so may amazing creatives, especially women, POC’s, etc.. looking for work. So they can save it with that crap. I once reached out to a recruiter about a role, I knew I was a great fit for. she looked at my LinkedIn and then wrote back “you have a misspelling, good luck”, with a smug attitude, as if I did something to her. Actually the spelling was correct, she just didn’t know that part of design. so I sent her a Google link and a scholarly journal explaining the word and that segment of design, and if she would like to discuss the role that I had originally reached out to her about I would great. then she didn’t write me back after that. Needless to say they are full of it.

Send a note to the head of HR at the company who allows not only a rude recruiter to be a first point of contact but also one with a significantly limited vocabulary.

I am coming from a place of ignorance - not sure what would suit my background.

I started a new job as an “office manager” at the end of January. The duties seem to align more with those of an EA, and I’m ok with that. Except my boss is a control freak. He scolds me over every little thing, how I load the dishwasher, maybe I didn’t push my chair in. Last week he told me I needed to work on my appearance. I was shocked. I bought all new clothes from Ann Taylor that are perfectly acceptable for business casual. He hates me. Move on ASAP or try to stick it out ?
