The recruiting landcape has shifted but talent still comes with big conditions
For a while, jobseekers could pretty much write their own pay cheques due to a severe shortage of talent. While agencies have taken back control recently, creatives in high demand still come with conditions, Deanne Constantine, founder of Blue Bateau, writes.
Two years ago, job seeking candidates had full swing of the market both practically and commercially. Fast forward to now and the advertising industry is making its way through a vulnerable economic market – and the hiring landscape has completely changed once again.
Despite recent redundancies in certain areas of the market, top tier creative, midweight and hard-to-reach digital talent still has the upper hand.
