When applying for a senior creative position you’re perfectly suited for (you’ve run and sold high budgeted work in the same vertical), is it ok for your application to be rejected by the company’s talent sourcer whose sole experience in recruiting is less than two years and has worked as an insurance broker for over 5 years prior to their current role?

That’s actually a reason why hiring such a mess, it’s not just a single case; they hire outside of advertising not just sources but recruiters who don’t know anything. Lots of great people are being missed at the ATS or sourcer stage. I think applying through the website is a formality now and then you actually have to get someone either hiring manager or recruiter
I’m sorry!

Reach out. LinkedIn recruiters and applications submitted via ATS are cattle calls that literally anyone can submit to.

This is a very specific question.

Wow, who's interviewing whom?

“Is it ok?” Is not the right question. What’s your goal?

You should ask to talk to the Manager.

The hiring process is dated and exhausting

a. No less than 3-5 interviews. If you’re in tech, that final “on-site” is likely a test or presentation equivalent to hours of work.
b. Then, the thank you notes to eeeevvveerrryyyooonnee you interviewed with
c. The anxiety-ridden waiting game
d. The offer + negotiations
e. References
f. Background check

I got a verbal offer from a WPP agency today. The role's budgeted salary is 5k less than my desired salary.
The recruiter can get me closer but still not at my desired salary. Otherwise - it would have to go through a long approval process with no guarantee that the salary would even be OK'd.
I'm coming from a small agency, so I could be wrong - but I don't want to sell myself short by accepting the first salary they offer. Do I have any room to negotiate? Or is that risky?
