I’ve never seen an actual list. But, if you’ve run afoul of a key person on a team they can definitely put your resume in a drawer and forget about it

This assumes they’re actually that organized.

Yes but it's not a list - it just goes in the notes for your LinkedIn profile and internal tracker docs. If you contact me, I'll look you up and see if you've been here before, what teams or other recruiters said about you in the past. On some people we have in no uncertain terms notes not to hire again / do not want back

Something I've always been curious about. Do recruiters take note of a candidate that has applied to the same company for different roles a number of times over the years but not getting a response or not getting past to the final stage?

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

What’s the longest an agency has kept you waiting in reception on your first day of a gig?

Quick PSA: one of the perks of going in-house, is that you’re no longer at an ad agency and all that that entails.

Just started a new in-house tech fl gig and it’s giving me whiplash! Somehow this dept has brought every person/toxic behavior from their old agency just to a new environment. Nowhere is perfect but good god. I honestly think companies/HR could learn a lot about their depts from freelancers.
