I’ve been freelancing as a copywriter for two years and want to go back to a full‑time agency role. Recruiters, how do agencies perceive that freelance gap? Is it viewed as a lack of commitment?

I’ve gone back and forth between FT and freelance throughout my career. Freelance has never been a problem, especially if you have work and recommendations to show for it.

found a role i’m really interested in and came across a post about it from hiring manager with a “reach out if you’re interested”. I’ve got a few connections to the company - is it better to try to go through someone I’m connected with in a different department and try to get referred, or just jump on the hiring manager’s post and reach out to them cold?
