Tech recruiters, how do you really manage work-life balance? Have you ever been asked to jump into hiring tasks after hours or even during holidays? I hope you won't be reviewing our resumes during the Christmas period!

I have found recruiting to be an easy role to balance! But it really depends on the person.

Interesting! Is it because of generally speaking there is not much pressure or because the spikes of work are generally time boxed?

Being honest, it varies a lot by company and leadership. Yes, after hours and holiday pings do happen during urgent hires, but healthy teams plan ahead and respect downtime. If a recruiter is always “on”, that’s usually a process problem, not a people one.

Hi! I want to go back to working with other humans (in person) after a successful 10 yrs of freelance/remote Creative services on my own.

I rented a house that had been vacant for a bit & the prior tenant didn’t do a thorough job cleaning up. Agent indicated the owner would be open to having the house cleaned but I would need to have the house professionally cleaned when I moved out (that was fine w me). I just received the bill from the owner for $250, which is super annoying bc there was no expectation communicated that I would foot the bill for this, more so bc the cleaner did a LOUSY job.
