the omc bureaucracy is brutal

my advice is to make sure your talent manager, creative recruiter, and hr person are all in the same loop/email/dm…in my experience they are on WILDLY different pages and will stop the hiring process cold without telling a soul

I think we’re going to see a lot of the smaller agencies get consolidated. they’ll want to move some of those people into larger or combined shops.

What about the open Omnicom roles posted on LinkedIn? Are they actually interviewing people?
