What will rebounding after COVID look like? After layoffs, office closures etc. How long could it take to break back in now that networking opportunities have changed, offices are remote, hiring and positions open are limited in comparison to the numbers let go? How realistically will people not be able to reclaim a job in this industry? How long is too long of gap due to COVID and will companies ie (young recruitment teams who are naive) overlook thise gaps due to the economy?

Hiring is probably going to stray even farther away from the careers page than it already was.

Agencies always need great talent—even when they're doing layoffs. But the optics of having a full careers page when a portion of your staff is laid off and/or furloughed is not great.

So networking will be more important than ever. There are going to be more rejection emails (and rejection no responses) than ever, but the opportunities are out there, even when it looks bleak. Talent always rises.

I think it’s going to be a rapid rebound. With social distancing behind us the economy will bounce back quickly.

Do folks hiring in industry even know the differences between these firms to justify hopping from one to the other for an industry exit?

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
