I want to work for someone who inspires me. I know there’s friction around pressure to have side projects in this industry, but I tend to be most inspired by people who live and breathe creativity. Where should I be looking for my next, hopefully inspiring, job? Currently in Chicago.

I would agree with that. I think I’d also love someone to point me in the right direction as well. This is not to keep from doing my own homework. I’ve come across CDs who have inspired me from a distance only to be told by someone later they were super difficult to work with. A great artist does not a wonderful CD make. Finding the pearls in the sea of CDs won’t be easy.

Well I think in that vein then ask around to your network about who is cool. it’s hard to point to one agency cause there are definitely some teams within agencies that create more of an environment for good + inspiring people than others

New fish looking for career guidance.

I'm a corporate recruiter with 3 years of experience. Finishing my degree in HRM 5/2022. I'm thinking of getting my SHRM -CP shortly after graduation.

I'm not sure of where to go after that, but I doubt I will stick with recruiting or my current firm.

Has anyone here started off in recruiting and branched out to other HR functions? Do you like your new role? Do you wish you stuck with recruiting?
