Is it really off putting if in a CL:
A. We couldn't find the recruiter or hiring managers name so we just address it as Hello, or Dear (agency).
B. We don't have an extremely creative opening.

A: I like “Dear (agency name) Hiring Team” if you don’t have the exact contact name.
B: You’re a Strategist, so it’s not like we expect you to write a creative opening. Keep it short, smart, and relevant and you’ll be fine
