I took a freelance opportunity and now a couple of weeks later (in that same job hunting process) I got a full time offer. What can I tell the agency I’m leaving after 2 weeks, it’s a freelance position so it’s not that serious

Just give them notice and tell them you landed something full-time.

be honest - you’re so sorry this timing isn’t ideal but the search was already in progress and you got a full time job you can’t turn down. if you give them some notice that’s a bonus!

Hi. I’m relatively new to recruiting and my role is primarily in supporting recruiters. I’ve noticed that even when I include a specific request or call to action, that my emails receive a response less than 50% of the time. Is this lack of responsiveness indicative of company culture or more about the culture of recruiting, since they receive so many emails? Thoughts? I’ve not experienced this rate of responsiveness in any organization I’ve worked for. I am beginning to take it personally.

How far do you require depts be with negotiating commercial contract terms before your legal review? I’m talking routine low value and risk contracts (e.g., vendor services), where Legal terms won’t kill the deal. My clients blindly forward contracts. I say “are you sure this term is ok?” And often get “no.” They’re surprised because they never read them. Checking the temp to see what others experience, what might be normal. I feel contract training in my clients’ future...
