I’ve done this - at WPP. Surprised they even saw you without the other knowing. I had to tell HR before they even spoke to me about it! My experience was great when I moved within WPP. After I spoke to HR, they advised me to talk to my manager as well, and everyone was super supportive about moving. They’d rather keep talent within the group. In inside.wpp.com there’s some good info about poaching guidelines and mobility.
I’m surprised the other agency even saw you. I had a sister agency who liked my stuff say they didn’t even want to deal with the hassle
Check the handbook. I'm at IPG and they're very particular about who needs to know what and when.
With that said, I can't imagine your HR will hold you back. Tread carefully but don't wait too long just because you're worried.
Most times, as long as you apply fist, it's fine. As long as the sister agency didn't "recruit" you, you're good.
Been a bit since I looked so check the handbook, but I think it says you must tell your manager and HR before applying and that you max out at a 15% raise.
I'd think you'd be ok to reach out to the new agency first to check interest before blowing up your spot to your manager.
WPP has insanely strict rules on what they deem “poaching.” When I worked at Y&R a girl got terminated for scheduling an interview with another WPP shop. I’m pretty surprised they even interviewed you.
