What’s the best route to making the leap to in-house corp comms in nyc? All I know is agencies. Does just applying for a posting ever really work? Do candidates hire headhunters? HALP.

Lots of similar questions lately. I made the jump two years ago. Depending on level, strategies differ. Online postings yield little for jobs above manager level. Best opportunities come from working your network. Connect with former clients and colleagues. Ask them what they’re seeing in the market. Signals your interest. Ask well connected friends for intros to headhunters - they are more open to meeting people who come with a warm intro from someone they’ve worked with in the past. Be deliberate. It takes time. You gotta work for it.

Of the two best opportunities I considered, one came from a former client who was looking to plan her own succession. The other from a friend who introduced me to his CEO neighbor. Lots of stuff surfaced later. Months after I landed my new gig. Though I was settled and happy in a new role, I always talked and tried to be helpful in sharing back to my network.

👆🏻 echoing this. You can land roles via LinkedIn or recruiters, for sure, but might be sold one opportunity, start, and realize reality is a totally different situation. Best opportunities are generally network-driven and can take time.

I got my job by answering a LinkedIn job post.

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so. After a week of interviews with the team (softball-esq), I was informed that if I wanted to join, they would bring me on at a lower title. I’m not sure about comp yet. But if comp is still an increase + experience at a public..

Recently I got invited to an interview with a decent growing company. I work in Executive Search and I am thinking of switching to in-house recruiting.

Was I wrong to expect in-house recruiter to understand the differences and similarities between in-house-recruiting, professional search and retained executive search?
