Wild how in this horrible economy (aka C Suite greed) if you’re an employed creative recruiter you hold more power than god. And if you’re an unemployed recruiter, you might never work again.

recruiters - what’s stopping you from learning the jobs and skills for the roles you recruit for to land a gig of your own?

Because most are smart enough to know and avoid the insanity we deal with and that the creative skillsets that used to be required are becoming extinct

If they had the talent they would have become creatives a long, long time ago. As recruiters, they don’t hold the power you think they do. They certainly don’t get the credit they deserve and don’t get a chance to share in the glory of the awards. I think the misconception arose because recruiters protect the actual hiring manager from responsibility for declining to meet the candidates the recruiter recommends. It’s a frustrating job.
