Received three separate LinkedIn InMails - each from a different recruiter - probing whether I’d be interested in an ACD role, paying less than a quarter my current day rate. My profile clearly states I’ve been an ECD for ten years.

I lost my shit in my reply.

Recruiters: There are TONS of insanely talented creatives trying to land ACD roles who deserve their shot! Quit being so fucking lackadaisical and help them! I’d hire them if I could, but I can’t.

RECRUITERS, DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY!
