I’m a qualified CD in NYC and am having a terrible time working with independent recruiters to get interviews and roles this go around.

Fellow CDs, are you working with independent recruiters, reaching out directly to the agency recruiters you’re interested in, or something else?

If you have recruiters you actually like, I want names.

Try recruiters on staff at agency/brand. 3rd party recruiters are not ideal.

I saw another post in here asking who was hiring CDs and someone replied. Maybe reach out to that person who replied?

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
