Is it common to reach out to recruiters when looking for a role in London? People keep telling me to reach out to the CD directly or go through the traditional agency career/employment channels. Idk..

SF is like that, all creative recruits go through the gate keeper.

Recruiters are good to have in the contact list in case they try and find you with something in mind, but I find it’s always better to go direct to CDs or talent managers in agencies - cut out an extra layer of pissing around.

AD 2 - my bad. Think i may have used the wrong term. When i say recruiter i meant talent management. Seems every agency has one or the other. Creative recruiter/head of talent acquisition/talent management/head of people and development etc. So many names... but good to know that. I’ve only ever emailed talent acquisition

CW 1 - at first I thought that was a joke because this is the first I’ve heard of it lol do you happen to have anymore info on them?

Do you have a visa? Sorry might be an obvious ask but it is the first hurdle, folk are highly unlikely to pay for legal fees and invest the time for someone when they could hire domestically straight away.....unless you have a specific sector expertise or skill set ...

Unfortunately not SVP 1. I know many people around my level who have done so it is possible but it does make sense. It’s the same within the states. Why hire a foreigner over a local? They aren’t that much better than them or better at all but they still do. It’s one of those things I’d like to try make happen anyway. Hopefully something comes from it. 🤞🏻

Another route is to join a global company and try to secure a transfer thru work once you have built a bit of credit in the bank... it takes a bit longer but arguably is an easier route. It’s how this pesky foreigner ended up in the states anyway 😉

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?
