Listen "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Architectural Recruitment!"
Episode Synopsis
WARNING: The salaries discussed in this podcast may SHOCK you! This was an unscripted episode and alcohol was consumed.
This is the Third Episode of Season 2 of The Broke Architect Podcast!
This show is brought to you by the Global Architect Alliance (GAA).
I have with me today Matt Kirk, who is NOT an architect but is "The ANNOYING Recruiter" for the architectural industry and is based in the North of the UK. Matt talks the RAW truth, from FAKE job adverts, CV collections tactics, poor salaries and COWBOY antics by some architectural practices. We hear about an architect who was offered a job for £20k more than their current salary and then ghosted Matt. Matt talks about how many architects could get paid more for doing the VERY SAME JOB if they chose to move.
This podcast will help you navigate your job search or career change and dispels the myths in this industry, you will be informed of the pitfalls!
The Podcast is supporting the important work of The Architects Benevolent Society, which was founded in 1850 and exists to support the architectural community and their families and can help architects in a range of ways during their working life, or once they have retired. https://www.absnet.org.uk/get-help/ FUNDRAISER APPEAL: Please donate to the Broke Architect Podcasts JustGiving page: https://tinyurl.com/murevj5r
