This seems such an obvious question, but I don’t think I’ve seen it posted (at least lately). Who are the best recruiters (in terms of ability to connect with real jobs) for creatives in the US and the rest of the world? Anyone have a list they’re willing to share here? Thank you kindly in advance.

I wouldn’t bother barking up recruiters trees either. They ghost and are inundated with candidates and normally get excited from an inside rec.
What I would do is fish in the pond at the agency. Find ones with open jobs and message someone a level above the role you’re looking for. Message 3 people there with your resume or book and ask them to refer you to the recruiter.
If they do, then their name is attached to yours and you will stand out.
I got my job this way.

The ones who work at the agencies / companies that have open jobs. Third party recruiting firms aren’t going to have as many opportunities in hard economic times. It’s not worth paying an external firm $40,000+ to hire a CD from them when there are tons of talented applicants.

smart

Good point.

Amanda Hugnkiss is good
