Where are you finding your Directors? I sometimes consider people who were managers in a past role, because I'm not finding a ton of good Director level candidates. But then that's always a huge gamble.

What kind of director are you looking for? I’m finding that when I look at a lot of hiring managers of design teams, their portfolios are quite weak (from a design perspective).

More context about what domain/profiles you're looking for would help us support you better.

I thnk it depends on the domain or profile you're looking on - some companies have different titles, purposely to mess with recruiters etc even if they have director level responsibilities...we ended up working with recruiters when we're looking for super senior people as it's quite difficult to get them

I really want to get a second job but I am scared of losing my current one. Both companies are in same field, although not direct competitors so I know it’s technically “not allowed” however, this is the only way for me to get that $$ since I am not paid all that well.

Of course I won’t tell a single friend/coworker. Only my partner. And I don’t post work stuff on social media.

Realistically what are the ODDS of being caught? Is there a legal/HR process with which they could find out??
