This particular recruiter still owns me a reply about a role she was advertising. A bit hypocritical from her part I think.

As a midlevel cw at a decent ny agency with an average-to-slightly-above-average book, if I email Wieden, they’re not going to respond.

Likewise, if a third-party recruiter emails me about a junior pharma role in Connecticut and mentions a salary less than I’m currently making, I’m not going to respond.

It’s different if you ghost mid convo, but I feel that’s pretty fair for starting a conversation.

Yeah it’s not rude or unfair for initial contact.

Honestly I think it’s a two-way street. Some recruiters do give a shit and probably deal with creatives who ghost or whatever.

Though I obviously think most recruiters are disrespectful and flakey. Hashtagnotallrecruiters

That post was on my feed because it was liked by a recruiter who never replied me. On the other hand, at least Wieden did. Ebbs and flows i guess.

Hello!

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
