Mullen. I have a friend who is an ECD in Boston and he introduced me to the recruiter. I must have said something wrong or stepped on her foot because she’s since refused to bring me in for both the New York and LA offices. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ACD1 that’s probably true but it’s such a purposeful effort on her part to keep me out that it’s very confusing and a bit hurtful

If you work at FAANG level company do you get recruiter calls almost daily?
Cause I work in a lower level firm and I don't get calls

Last year when Covid broke, I received a couple of interview calls but ignored them as I felt the organization kept me at work when other companies cut short their HR staff so I should be with them even if with no appraisal. But now, I was living in the fool's paradise when I am told to leave with no job offers in hand, car and home loan, dependent parents, expecting jobless spouse with a 3-year old kid.

Anyone at Spotify that can speak to their experience, saw a position this morning that aligns very well with my background and future goals.

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit. The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?
