If agencies and brands keep hiring the same people from the same places, they’ll make the same work as each other. And if they make the same work as each other, they’ll be going against their own value proposition which is to be distinctive. The same thing applies to talent. 1. Getting good at what you do is priority number one. 2. But moving to places that edge you forward is priority number two. Five degrees from where you just were. Constantly growing. Constantly learning. Getting stronger and stronger from each and every unknown step. And that’s why we’re called UNKNOWN. It’s a bunch of curious recruiters that give you the space to figure that stuff out. We ask questions that make you think differently And we introduce you to people that make you do differently. Hearing Toby Southgate pitch that back to me made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Thank you.
most people just throw money at the problem when it comes to hiring. There's no point being in an organisation that pays the best if your culture is shit and there's no progression. It's never been easier to care about your people and bean bags and after work drinks aren't going to cut it anymore.
the amount of times I repeat that first sentence on a daily basis…😂
This is so true the same goes creatives, if they keep asking them to do the same as the others do we will live in a never ending loop 😂 Ollie Scott
Less Hattie's, Lottie's, Poppy's, Charlie's, Henry's and Harry's please. And why do they ALL have double, hyphenated, surnames? MAKE IT STOP.
Here for the stussy top 🙋🏼♂️

1moI couldn't agree with this more. I've been asked in the past how on earth I expect to recruit a [insert job title] if they're not already a [insert slightly more junior job title]. We insult the intelligence of candidates by assuming they can't learn new skills or apply what they know to new markets. We turn our industries into echo chambers of people all doing the same as the competition. And then we wonder why our metrics are showing reduced customer loyalty.
