I’m curious to know... How some agencies claim to be an “equal opportunity employer”, when they don’t even post their openings and hire people they already know? I’d love to work for some specific agencies in New York, I check their jobs page, I respectfully reach out to the hiring team to express my interest and nothing happens... It’s really frustrating.

This! Another easy step agencies could take if they actually were committed to this beyond PR statements.

I feel like we all know agencies dont really post open jobs generally. (Especially creative) I always assumed it was because they have to be so “unconventional” in why they hire people.

Even now with the whole idea of “opening it up to more diverse candidates,” it seems tricky because its not like they can say they have open jobs, but only want to hire women and/or non whites... Im not sure what the answer would be, its pretty frustrating any way you slice it.

The EOE that the big agencies put up there is because they have to; landing a job at one of them is based on who you know. Many of these agencies do pull from their pool of former freelancers / fellows / interns however diversity is hard to come by. Perhaps reach out to former employees, especially freelancers, who have worked at the agency in the past for more insight.

It would be even worst, if they post those jobs, you waste your time applying and still give them to people they already know, right?

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies.

You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!
