Talk about a little time making the biggest difference. Throughout 2005 and most of the first half of 2006, Talent Zoo’s recruiting assignments coming from ad agencies were overwhelmingly Media department focused, specifically the Planning side. Since Spring, there has been a radical shortage in Account Management professionals, and now 80% of the team’s assignments outside the Creative department are in Account Service. If your agency is seeking Account Execs through Management Supes, be prepared for 1) a longer recruitment process, and 2) a higher salary than you have budgeted.
