“Sorry. You’re a perfect candidate but we’re working toward a scroll stopping PR Headline and you’re only candidate 74.”
Yeah I thought that headline was a weird flex. Why not be more considerate with who you interview? Why did the recruiter pass on so many people? Could the leadership not be describe?

May their clients be this decisive.

I thought this was crazy until I saw the role. I believe it. That’s how long it takes to find a good strategist. I can count on one hand the number of strategists that actually know anything about account planning. They often don’t know the difference between an observation and an insight, for example.
Because strategists often don’t have a portfolio of their work, they have case studies which show the end results. The flashy creative work can overshadow the actual contributions of the strategist, and the strategist can easily say “I made that happen” but there’s no way to prove anything.

Hope the search they do for agency comms is shorter. This doesn’t paint them in a good light.
Yeah this was weird. It’s like they didn’t brief their recruiter correctly or didn’t know what they wanted / needed / could afford and learned through the process. Maybe they said “I’ll know it when I see it”. 😬
I know people who work there… it’s a mess
can 100% agree

You guys are reading this wrong. They interviewed him 100 times

Oof. And I know that guy. lol.
There’s no way there are 100 people you’d consider for a head of strategy role. It’s not the biggest pool of people
so cringe
