Another key hiring indicator: new department leaders
If you’re looking for a new agency job, you should also pay attention to agency leader hires: new presidents, new heads of account management, strategy or creative. (Or other agency departments in which you might work.) Often these new people will be making changes in their group once they understand their new landscape. Related thinking.

Agency recruiters, new department leaders also produces good candidates
A new leader probably replaced someone. Where’s that person who just lost their job going?

New presidents, in particular, potentially threaten existing agency leaders across the agency. How might those capable professionals impact your agency? What is it about the role at your agency that might be attractive to these leaders?
