If you’re working with a freelance recruiter/ headhunter but know of open positions outside the ones they’ve brought to you, is it best to reach out to the agencies yourself or through the recruiter?

Reach out yourself. The agency in question may not be open to paying recruiter fee. Once they reach out on your behalf the agency technically is obligated to go through them for any future opps

Yeah avoid going through a recruiter as much as possible. If they own the relationship with the agency they have to pay the recruiter and you can miss out on opportunities if they’re not willing to pay.

Aka what director 1 already said haha

The headhunter/recruiter has a contract with the agency that covers ALL roles, not just the ones they’ve submitted you for. The contract typically lasts one year, so no matter what jobs you might want to apply for during that year, the headhunter owns the relationship and is owed a fee if you get hired

Anyone ever heard of this policy? Seems strange

I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
