When looking for recruiter at a particular company for design positions, do so reach out to recruiters in the holding company? How do I know who is the proper person to reach out to.

Instead of playing a guessing game trying to find the right recruiter, reach out to other designers there. They can answer your questions about the day to day work and if they like your work and have open positions, they can refer you.

Explain why you’re reaching out (e.g. you admire their work and have been thinking about applying, but would love to learn about their role, team, etc. to see if it’s a good fit). I say carefully constructed because so many people send a note asking for a call with no context.. As for reaching out - though LinkedIn is personal, you’re still asking them to talk about work and that’s the last thing most people want to think about this week. Wait until Jan. 4th or later to reach out. Give people an opportunity to get back to work and catch up on emails so your messages don’t get buried.

An agency interviews you for 3 rounds (job involves a move). Is there value in saying “I have an offer” just to get them to say yes or no, so you can finally know if you’re moving or staying?

New Co-Bowl Leader here. How ya doin? I wanted to let you all know a few things:
1) Recruiters & Talent Folk didn’t used to have access to AAR bowl, it was only recently that we could respond to your questions, comments, concerns.
2) We aren’t going to allow trolling, doxxing, or shite behavior. This is going to be a helpful place for positive, constructive conversation.
3) We’ll be doing an AMA in the coming weeks.
4) Next AAR Live Session is September 16th, and we’re talking Portfolios!

After a few long interview processes, I've learned that prior CPG experience is highly valued when entering any CPG industry (even in low- to mid-level roles). Can someone with experience recruiting in the space help explain the importance of the experience? Alternatively, would love to be able to "spin" my resume to help fill in the gaps that this lack of experience leaves.

Which is better? Contact a recruiter via LinkedIn messaging... or their direct email address?

LinkedIn seems less intrusive/more respectful.
