Spicy Saturday!!

Here’s the number one theory I have about recruiters who won’t share comp or pay ranges while insisting that candidates share their salary expectations. 

They are scared. 

Scared of insulting the candidate.
Scared of being unable to articulate how and why comp was set as it was.
Scared of being way off from market norms for a given role / level.
Scared of being held accountable later for giving a “wrong” number or range. 
Scared of admitting they don’t actually know what the company/hiring manager wants to pay.

Shall I continue?

I have absolutely no data to back this up. I recognize this is merely a THEORY - an ASSUMPTION if you will - based on anecdotal instances I’ve seen of every one of these things over the years. 

If the word “scared” upsets you feel free to replace it with fearful, or anxious, or nervous. 

It just describes a feeling. It’s not an attack on anyone personally. 

I’ve been scared to have these conversations too. I’ve made every one of these mistakes at some point in my early career. Practice helps. A lot. 

*deep breath*

Let me have it in the comments. 🫣

"𝘐𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯, 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘱𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘦𝘳. 𝘚𝘰 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘈-𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮."

A quote from a viewer on a video I did recently.

So. Let's unpack this.

I have been in recruiting long enough to be VERY HYPER AWARE of our reputation. I have as well worked with some real interesting characters on all sides of the equation here. This is not a defense of recruiters, or anyone else. This is a question.

What is YOUR role in the recruiter / you dynamic?

Pause and think about it. I get it, as a candidate you're kinda forced to work with whatever recruiter happens to be responsible for that req. Even as a hiring manager you may not have a lot of say in exactly WHICH recruiter works on your openings. As a recruiting manager, I inherited my whole team (and I'm glad they stayed!)

Still begs the question - especially if you are PARTNERING with a recruiter - what's your responsibility here? How are you helping them understand your needs? Are you willing to educate if they're willing to learn?

Oh here's a juicy one - are you willing to learn from them too? AFAF ;)

Spicy Saturday! How can I upset you today? 🤣

Oh let's go multiple choice:

A. Networking is great but referrals are not always the number one source of hire
B. Recruiters do not need deep technical expertise in order to determine if a candidate has said expertise
C. Using the green banner is a signal you're open to work - no more, no less. Results may vary widely
D. Ghosting is lack of closure after two way communication has been established
E. Any random factoid or mythology about a piece of software commonly used by companies to track the lifecycle of recruiting

*OPINIONS MY OWN AND NOT THAT OF MY EMPLOYER(S) PAST PRESENT OR FUTURE*

Ok now that I have your attention 😋 

My friend Daniel was kind enough to offer me a space to chat with you all about BRANDING!!! 

Here's the reality - if you are gainfully employed out here running these social media streets you ARE repping the organization that pays you - intentionally or not. HOWEVER - if you're not building a brand that transcends that, what happens when you move on from that role, by choice or otherwise? How do you balance both personal brand AND my friend James's favorite topic - EB?

We're going to talk about all that and more in 9 days!!!

The longest of weeks 🤣 I do believe I promised y’all an update on NETWORKING and my lil conspiracy theory about what this market has done to us. 

Watch here - https://lnkd.in/gdpByenW

I do not care whether or not a feature exists.
I do not care what a software company includes in their sales pitch.
I do not care what your favorite LLM spits out after crawling reddit and wikipedia. 

I care VERY MUCH about how recruiters use their tools and the choices they make day in and day out.

I prefer to lead with curiosity and seek transparency. If I am curious how hiring happens at Company A, I'm going to find someone who works there and ASK. 

Following up on my recent post about recruiter biases - here's Spicy Amy weighing in on some of the more... creative... interpretations of WHAT I ACTUALLY SAID.

Rant here - https://lnkd.in/dtMGmqZH

Yes, you should be tracking your recruiting metrics.
No, there are no universal percentages.

At best, you can track the ever loving heck out of your data and figure out what "good" looks like for your industry, company, and team. You can and should focus on process improvement, increasing candidate satisfaction, and lowering time to fill - among other things.

If I ever tell you THIS percentage or THAT ratio is universally right, please know that I have been kidnapped and am signaling for help. Call the cops. 

Anyway. I wrote this in 2019 and it's still truer than anything I've read on the internet today. Just sayin. 😘  https://lnkd.in/g7Fvgz8u

Ok so. Long week. Very busy. So relieved a big work project is complete-ish. 

Partial reasons why I failed you all and did not get my next video queued up. 🫣

BUT - this is actually a good thing because I want to hear from YOU!! I’m working on a follow up to my “networking” series and post - I update it every now and again with new info (link below). I’m mapping out a new video too and want to hear from you. 

✅ what does networking mean to you?
✅ how do you tap your colleagues/friends/strangers for opportunities?
✅ what’s the hardest or scariest thing about networking?

I have a theory brewing in my head about how networking varies from a healthy candidate driven market to the dumpster fire we’re in now. We’re gonna talk about it. 

Drop your thoughts, comments and questions below! I’ll address as best I can next week with updated guidance on the blog too - https://lnkd.in/gwM8eq-D

Please enjoy Lady Penelope Pennifer PupPup enjoying her new couch. 

Also shoutout to the Wordpress developer who cannot believe I regularly update my blog posts on Wordpress without changing the publication date. What can I tell you I’m a wizard! 🤣

Does source of hire matter?

(On my life I expected experienced recruiters to know the difference. I remain perplexed. Anyway!)

Im working on an updated networking video for this week. I have a theory I’m poking at a little bit about referrals, especially in this market. 

I’m of the firm belief that you cannot improve what you do not measure. Recruiters can and should have a good handle on their source of hire, how that stacks up against company/industry norms, and any unintended consequences. 

Job seekers should track this too, for themselves. What’s working?  Where’s the ROI? 

Anywho. Source of hire. Watch here if you’re curious - https://lnkd.in/gvVz-DQk

READY TO TALK:
Connect with me or schedule a free consultation through the link in my headline.

Do people get hired every day with mediocre resumes and interview skills they wish were better? Yes. Here's why... it's about 5 core behaviors.


The common behaviors for how quickly anyone lands a new job are all the same. And they were all 100% in your control.

CLARITY >> Having constraint about direction vs. applying for everything

CURIOSITY >> Evaluating roles based on inclusion vs. self-elimination

DETACHMENT >> Staying unattached from outcomes vs. clinging and regret

CONSISTENCY >> Keeping your promise to show up vs. allowing distraction 

OWNERSHIP >> Knowing your professional value vs. doubt and lack


I've seen first hand how applying these common denominators can change a job search withiin days (in my own career) and in the hundreds of clients I've coached. 

It's these realizations that hit me upside the head and turned my job search (which was heading into month number 5 with minimal traction) into three job offers in 47 days.

I love what I do because helping people develop the above habits in a job search is transformational. Meaning, you'll always know what to do when you want to change jobs or are facing an unwanted search.

But the truth is you don't need me to have CLARITY, CURIOSITY, DETATCHMENT, CONSISTENCY and OWNERSHIP any more than you need someone to write your resume.

If you're super self-aware and have a clear picture of the value you bring to employers, showcasing your awesomeness on your resume and in interviews is the natural by-product.

Commit today to developing these behaviors in your search and watch what happens.


Always for you,
Elissa
