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.
