I’ve been in the agency world for 8 years, and:

1) 3rd party recruiters NEVER worked
2) commenting on “we’re looking for talents” posts NEVER worked
3) cold emailing NEVER worked (got in touch with some folks but most likely they ain’t hiring at the moment)

The things that have worked:
1) easy-applying on LinkedIn (surprise)
2) recruiter reach out
3) someone just knew me and referred to the team that’s hiring

Anything else I’m missing?

Let’s talk comp — I’m a remote head of recruitment with 6 years of experience being paid 75K base plus bonuses that got me to 90K this year. I’m interviewing for other jobs, and have a potential offer at $130K base. Any idea what the market is like? Is seems like anything between 72K and $250K is possible. I have no idea what to ask companies for.

How do you deal with references as a freelancer? Most of my past gigs - I had managers on paper but it was a formality as I led my own work so don't feel comfortable asking them to be a reference.

Really urgent, should i share the company name in sharing holding offer letter to second companh..or only compensation part shall be enough.I am not sure if i should share the part where they are addressing with my name as well for authentication because it has company logo and name as well.

Please reply fast if u have any idea.

What's your preference for plaintiff's side? Steady pay at approximately $120k with no bonuses, or a base salary of $70k plus a cut of what you close over a minimum threashold? Midwest-ish market. In both situations, you get a cut of what you bring in.

“You are not stupid. You literally work at one of the top consulting firms in the world”
