Tech Recruiter - Acquirer of High Performance Talent

RESULTS I DELIVER
• Better quality search results. If you are pitting one firm against another, they will race against each other (for a brief while) to get resumes to you as quickly as possible. Because of the imposed urgency, you are likely to see a number of unqualified resumes. Non-exclusive recruiters often hope to get lucky and hit a match, rather than putting in the effort to screen properly.

•  Deeper and broader search. Committing to one recruiter will allow that recruiter to spend the time to network and headhunt to uncover the very best candidate for your requirements, rather than just pulling resumes out of a database.

•  Less work for the hiring manager. If you are working with multiple search firms, you will get a lot more resumes than you would working with just one recruiter. However, many of those resumes will not match your hiring needs, which just makes more work for the hiring manager. Not to mention time spent sorting out candidate ownership disputes between multiple firms.

•  Better candidate experience. Have you ever received the same resume from more than one recruiter? It can make your company look unprofessional if more than one recruiter interviews a candidate about the same job. And you may see some great candidates back out of the process entirely when multiple firms are involved.

•  Confidentiality. For a confidential search, working with more than one recruiting firm makes no sense. It will be impossible for a recruiter to keep the company name confidential if there are multiple search firms involved.

Getting laid off once hurts.
Getting laid off three times in five years rewires how you see yourself.
Most people won't say this out loud.

So I will.
The modern job market is a washing machine.
It spins you, snaps a few buttons off, and pretends you should come out "grateful" for the experience.

But the truth is simple.
It's not your skills.
It's not your effort.
It's not your value.

It's volatility.
It's overhiring.
It's leadership panic.

And it's systems built on quarterly fear.
And the people who get chewed up the most?
The quiet high-performers.
The ones who assume good work protects them from chaos.

But this era doesn't reward quiet.
It rewards clarity.
Direction.
Positioning.
A career built like a portfolio instead of a ladder someone else controls.

If you've been hit more than once, stop asking "What's wrong with me?"
Start asking "What do I want to build next?"

Your next move shouldn't be reactive.
It should be intentional.

Built around who you're becoming, not what the market just did to you.

If you want help designing that, message me.
You don't have to rebuild alone.

You're not being ignored.
You're being gaslit by a job posting.

Ghost jobs aren't just frustrating. They're career trauma in disguise.

If you've ever applied to a role that never existed, you know the cycle.
You apply. You wait. You get ghosted by a job that never existed.

And then the part nobody talks about…
You start blaming yourself for a job that was never real.

There's a deeper damage here.
It damages your confidence. Makes you question your worth. Convinces you the problem is you.

Thousands of job seekers think they're being "ignored."
But what's actually happening is worse.

They're participating in a hiring pipeline that was never connected to a real outcome.
Budget freezes.
Evergreen reqs.
"Building a bench."
Roles posted to prove someone is "working on it."

Broken systems create broken self-belief.
That's the real danger.

If this is you, let me say this clearly:
You can't build momentum chasing jobs that don't exist.
Your worth isn't measured by silence from a fake job posting.
If you need a real strategy, message me.

And to the recruiters doing this? You're not "building a bench." You're breaking people.  Do better.

Every Monday, someone gives career advice they have no business giving.

“Just network more.”
“Just show passion.”
“Just stay positive.”

It’s amazing how confident people get when they’re not the ones applying.

My Thoughts:
Bad advice isn’t harmless.
It wastes time.
It kills confidence.
It sends good people in the wrong direction.
Hiring managers feel it.
Candidates feel it.
 
Everyone’s exhausted by the noise.
Cut the nonsense.

Listen to people who’ve actually done the work.  People in the industry.  Recruiters who review resumes, select candidates to interview, interviews them, gets feedback, gives feedback, extends offers and hire people.  Career Coaches who are in the hiring game, not just a side hustle.

If you want real guidance, not recycled clichés, follow me.

A clear mind makes better moves than a loud crowd ever will.

Experience inflation is killing careers. 
And it’s complete bullshit.

Companies are quietly turning normal jobs into Olympic trials.
 
Roles that needed 3–5 years now demand 8–10.
Junior jobs suddenly need “senior-level ownership.”
Tools that didn’t exist 18 months ago now require “mastery.”

This isn’t raising the bar.
It’s raising the drawbridge.
And it’s destroying confidence in an already brutal market.

Most leaders won’t admit this, but experience inflation is fear in disguise.
They’re terrified of hiring the “wrong person,” so they build job descriptions that only a unicorn with insomnia could satisfy.

And then they wonder why roles stay open for six months.

If a job needs 10 years for work that realistically takes 5, it’s not a talent shortage.  It’s a leadership shortage.

Here’s how to fix it:
 • Cut requirements not tied to revenue or risk
 • Hire for trajectory, not tenure
 • Build a 60–90 day learning runway
 • Hold hiring managers accountable for every inflated requirement

And if you’re job searching right now:
Ignore the years. Apply for capability.
Years are the laziest proxy for skill ever invented.

If companies want high-performing teams in 2026, they need to stop chasing mythical unicorns and start hiring actual humans who can learn fast, think clearly, and deliver real value.

Question for you:
What’s the most ridiculous “experience requirement” you’ve seen this year?

We just passed 2008 layoff levels. 
It's not even December.
Nobody wants to talk about what that really means

People are scared sh*tless and pretending they're not.

Nobody wants to say out loud:
Employment has become a form of stability most people can’t count on anymore.

Every week I talk to brilliant professionals who are terrified to check their inbox.

They’re doing everything right.
They’re still getting blindsided.
Not because they’re unskilled.
Because the market is unstable and the rules keep shifting.

Being grateful to have a job isn’t desperation.
It’s realism.

And realism is how you stay grounded when the ground keeps moving.

If you’re in transition, you’re not broken.

You’re navigating a system that’s forgotten the human cost of constant disruption.

If you’re leading teams, this is your reminder:
Your people aren’t “lucky” to be employed.
They’re trusting you with the one form of stability they have left.

We can’t pretend this is normal.
But we can choose how we respond to it.

What’s keeping YOU steady right now?

Your Biggest Hiring Problem Has a Name, 
a Title, and a Seat on Your Interview Panel

Companies aren’t losing talent to competitors.
They’re losing talent to their own interviewers.

A single person on a panel can tank your entire pipeline.

And it happens far more often than leaders realize.
It’s not the market.
It’s not the comp.
It’s not a talent shortage.

It’s Steve from engineering who treats every interview like an interrogation.
It’s Sarah from operations who shows up late and unprepared.
It’s the manager who spends half the interview complaining about burnout and overtime.

These people are not “demanding high standards.”
They are quietly destroying your ability to hire.

I’ve watched it for three decades.
A great candidate moves through the process confident and excited.
Then they meet that one person.
The one who rolls their eyes.
The one who didn’t read the resume.
The one who makes them feel unwelcome, inadequate, or like an inconvenience.

And suddenly the candidate withdraws.

They’ll give you a polite line about timing or fit.
But I know what really happened.
Someone on your team scared them off.

Here’s the truth most companies avoid.
Every person in an interview is selling your culture.
Not just the recruiter.
Not just the hiring manager.
Everyone.

That engineer who dismisses questions signals that collaboration is pretend.
That manager venting about stress signals a burnout culture.
That interviewer who clearly doesn’t care signals that the company doesn’t either.

You can offer top dollar.
You can have a mission that changes lives.
 
None of it matters if the people representing you are miserable or hostile.

If someone on your team cannot show candidates respect, clarity, and basic professionalism, they should not be in interviews.

Because if this keeps happening, your hiring problem isn’t the talent pool. 
It’s who you’re letting represent you.

Sometimes the hardest seasons still move you forward.

Careers don’t break in one moment.
They break slowly.
One setback.
One rejection.
One bad manager at a time.

But the same is true for rebuilding.
One decision.
One opportunity.
One honest conversation.

Progress doesn’t need to be dramatic to be real.

If you’re in a tough chapter right now, keep going.
Hard isn’t the enemy.
Staying stuck is.

Keep going.
This is the way.

Let’s get your story told.

Jack Dyer🕺

Yesterday, I had 7 calls booked.
Only 1 person showed up.



6 people just ghosted, despite several confirmation emails.

My afternoon was blocked out,
and the time waiting felt wasted.

But what annoyed me most, was
that every no-show took up a slot
that someone else truly needed.


I do these free 20-minute calls to HELP people.


- Not as a funnel.
- Not for lead gen.
- Not a sales tactic.

I do them because I remember
what it felt like to be a CEO who
didn’t know where to turn for help.


→ who felt invisible online…

→ who was embarrassed to ask for help…

→ who thinks everyone else has it figured out.

→ who didn’t know what they were doing wrong…


By booking a call and not appearing,
these people didn’t just waste my time.

They actually stole an opportunity
from someone who’s struggling,
and now can’t book in.

Someone who needs clarity.
Someone who needs direction.
Someone who’s been stuck for
months posting into the void.

Someone who could’ve had the slot.
🤬🤬🤬 (and I never use this emoji)


It’s SO EASY, barely a few seconds,
to message and say “I can’t make it.”
So I can open the slot to others.

I get it, life happens. Traffic happens.
Kids happen. Emergencies happen.

But respect is still free.

I ended up wrapping Christmas
presents during the empty slots
so it saved time this weekend…

but I kept thinking about the
people who actually needed
me, that I had to turn away.



So here’s my ask, as we head
into the season of goodwill:

→ If you book a call… show up.
→ If you can’t show up… say so.
→ If you need to reschedule… do.
→ If you no longer need the help…

Cancel, and free the slot
for someone who does.

Rant over.


If you’re giving and giving to LinkedIn
but not getting anything back, drop
me a message or book in a free call
(as long as you show up)!

Chat to me. No agenda, just a friend.
And I’ll help you get your story told.

I worry that I’m never going to be rich.



When I was a freelancer in 2019,
I designed a campaign to the Maldives…

And every day I worked on the project,
I was constantly jealous that this was
a once-in-a-lifetime, luxury holiday,
I’d never have the chance to go on.

It was for the top Citroen salespeople.
The top dealers across the UK could
win a trip to LITERAL paradise.

And I got to design all the
collateral for the whole trip:

→ The itinerary
→ The brochures
→ The web banners
→ The branded menus
→ The personalised boxes
→ The excursions and events
→ Even the damn luggage tags


And I’d never get to go.

Except…. I was dead wrong.

6 years ago I designed this.


But last month,
with my proven Storytold system...
I finally got to go to the Maldives!


This is the power of hard work,
combined with having a dream
that you keep working towards.

For 5 days, my girlfriend and I
experienced what the super-rich
experience about 6 times a year.

So keep working,
keep building something,
and know that anything can
happen if you put your mind to it.

If you’re not where you want
to be right now, I hear you.

But you can be.

If your LinkedIn is neglected
That’s the best place to start.

I grew from 740 to 46K followers
with my proven Storytold system.

And you can too.


Let’s get you to the Maldives!

Stop posting in the dark. We turn your LinkedIn into a business asset, with almost ZERO effort from you. | Top 1% LinkedIn Storyteller | CEO of Storytold.

Burnout isn’t sexy. 




For the last 4 weekends, I’ve been:

- attending business shows in London
- going to public speaking events
- travelling across the UK for work
- running workshops to help others

On top of that, I’ve been working
12 hour days for 5 days a week. 

Which means I haven’t had a 
day off to rest in over a month. 


And y’know what? 


I’m an idiot. 


Because if I want to perform at my best
during the week, I need some downtime!

Humans aren’t designed to run on empty.
We need days off.


So today, I’m not travelling, I’m sat at home 
with my feet up and actually letting my brain 
recover by playing a mindless PC game! 

That photo is from Cardiff on Thursday
(one of many, many, many trips recently)


I’m not getting anyone’s #storytold today! 


Have a great weekend all, and remember:
High achievers like you can only achieve
if you give yourself permission to rest.

The loudest leaders are losing their voices.



Sometime in the last 20 years,
leadership became about showing off.

Every post was carefully crafted to say:

“Look how brilliant I am.”
“Look how many things I know.”
“Look how successful I’ve become.”


But thankfully, things have changed.


There’s so much ‘perfect’ AI content,
that those ‘perfect’ leaders are DONE.
We don’t believe them, and switch off.

The ones who ACTUALLY get attention
are the leaders who admit when they
falter, fail, or even duck things up.


Because it makes them HUMAN!


We pay attention to Leaders who:

→ Admit when “I made a mistake.”
→ Say, “I don’t know, but I’ll find out.”
→ Share the lessons they’re learning,
not just the ones they’ve mastered.


Your flaws don't make you weak.

They makes you RELATABLE.


So next time you want to share
something, don’t make it perfect.

Tell us about a time you got it wrong,
and we’ll all respect you a hell of a lot
more than all those ‘look at me’ leaders.

“I want him to do well, but not better than me.”



I overheard this in the gym the
other day (well, the locker room).

And I thought to myself…
I used to think this way.

No need to comment or tell us.
Have you ever thought this too?


This is a very limiting belief.
A mindset winners DON’T have.


For context, here’s the full story:

I was changing after going swimming.
Two other guys were in the locker room.

One guy was talking about his friend.
He got him a job at the same company,
and watched as his friend climbed the
ranks quicker than the guy talking did.

Eventually, his friend became his boss.
And he completed his story by saying:

“Like, I wanted him to be successful…
Just not more successful than me! 😂”

And I get it.
When I was young,
I thought this way too.
(to my shame, looking back)

But if someone is truly your friend,
And if you have an infinite mindset,

You don’t let your own jealousy
begrudge them their success.

You’re happy for them!
You want them to win!
You cheer them on!
You support them!

THEIR success is NOT a reflection of
your own inadequacy. But thinking that
you’re only successful if they’re not, IS.

Leaders know we can all be successful.
And: That comparison keeps you small.

The friend who did well was focused
on being the best version of himself.
By not comparing, he succeeded.

The jealous friend was constantly
comparing. And he got left behind.

Focus on your own journey.
Do the work. Make it happen.
And support others to join you.

There’s enough success for us all.

How I hit 46k followers (without using AI)



“AI really pulled through for me”

Someone said when I was freelancing.

No, really. Let me set the scene for you:

Hey Turnipheads, it’s Natasha here.
Where’s Jack? Don't worry about it.

Recently Jack and I spoke about the
hot topic of AI, live on Radio Cardiff.

We’re not against using AI as a tool.
But people become too reliant on it.
It can’t do what people really need.

For example, last year I designed
a little logo for a castle coffee shop.

Showed the guy the logo, and he said
“Nah, we used AI & it pulled through!”


Hint, it didn't.


The logo was badly drawn, low pixels,
not adaptable, no colours, not unique.
A coffee cup with a castle thrown in.

And they liked it….. For 3 days.
Then they just stopped using it.


AI didn't understand the nuances,
or their personality, or their SOUL…
so nobody connected with the logo
emotionally. They deserved BETTER.


👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Connecting with an audience (and
growing to over 46k followers means
understanding personality and nuance.

This is something AI cannot replicate.

AI skips the ‘why’ and “gives outcome”
Worse, everyone can tell when you get
ChatGPT or Claude to write your posts.

I used to have 740 LinkedIn followers.
Now my team and I have +46,000…
Because we connect with EMOTIONS.
We tell authentic stories. AI doesn’t.

AI cannot get your story told.
No matter how fast/easy it is.


For brands that want to build trust.

For those who connect with people,

And for those who have a story to tell:

Thats where real design pulls through.

I’m Natasha, the designer at Storytold.


And our dedicated little team has helped
global CEOs grow on LinkedIn & beyond
with more genuine connections.

Let us help you get your story told:

AI cant design proper good like

I realised most CEOs are failing at LinkedIn, and here’s why:



Last week at the 
The Business Show London
a CEO told me difficult to hear:

“Jack… I think LinkedIn just isn’t
for people like me anymore.”

He sounded almost embarrassed
to admit it, and realised he meant:

“I’m posting into the void and
it’s making me doubt myself.”


I get it.


LinkedIn makes smart leaders feel invisible.
Especially when see competitors post the
same recycled ideas, and somehow get
200 likes and three inbound leads from it.


Meanwhile, their own content, the stuff they
spent 20 hours a week sweating over, gets
70 impressions, 2 likes, and duck-all else.
No clicks on their website, no calls booked.


I’ve learned this issue hides a very real fear:
He also said: “Maybe the problem is me.”


It’s not.


The problem is that today, CEOs are
expected to run a business AND magically
become world-class Content Strategists too.


That same CEO told me: “I’ve got a writer.
I’ve got a marketing person. But none of
it is landing us any new clients.”


And ‘cos I want to help him, I told him the truth.


A copywriter can write. A marketer can post.
But neither can build influence if the strategy,
psychology, and story aren’t connecting on
an emotional level with your audience.


–  It’s not about posting more often.
–  Or designing prettier photos.
–  Or being “more creative.”


It’s about having a message that
cuts through, CONSISTENTLY, without
draining the CEO’s time or brainpower.


So we ran a Brand Discovery session.
We rebuilt his message. We stopped
guessing. We created a strategy that
matched his buyers’ behaviour.


And within 3 weeks, his posts were
doing what they were supposed to:

Getting attention. Building authority.
Starting conversations. Attracting leads.

Not because he changed.
But because his strategy did.


You don’t need to post more.
You need a team that posts SMARTER,
and turns your expertise into demand.


That same CEO who used to spend
20 hours of worry, now spends one
hour a week laughing on a call with us.

And his LinkedIn has become a real
business asset, not just a time sink.


And if you’ve been spending 20 hours
a week writing LinkedIn posts that take
all your energy and give nothing back…


Then it’s time for a change.


It’s time to make LinkedIn work for YOU,
without you doing all the work. DM me.


We’ll help you get your story told.

What’s most important to your business?



Most would say ‘getting new clients’.
That’s the whole point of networking.

But in many leaders, the thought of
“networking” brings us out in hives.

What if there was a way to attract
more clients, organically, without
chasing down the leads yourself?


There is.


Storytelling.


It’s like magic.


And when you combine the two,
you become simply unstoppable.

For every 10 exhibitors at
The Business Show London,
there was 1 who told their story.
THEY’re the ones who got noticed.

When you turn your LinkedIn profile
into an optimised, story-driven page,

And when you tell #authentic stories
that provide raw value to an audience

That’s when you’ve transcended just
networking, and when your business
hits a higher level of real engagement.


If your LinkedIn page could make sales
while you slept… would you invest in it?


'course you would.


I did. And I went from a nobody,
to 45,000+ followers, a team of 5,
and #CEO of a flourishing business.

Which one will you choose?

Most CEOs get 0 leads from LinkedIn for 1 reason:



Because they’re scared to look unprofessional.

LinkedIn creates a strange pressure where
leaders feel they must always be perfect:

Perfect tone, perfect message, perfect ideas.
But really, perfection is damaging their brand.

Humans (y’know the people who buy from us)
connect with other relatable, flawed humans

Not polish, perfect, poetic, professional posts
Stop PEEING everywhere! We need REAL!!

The moment you share something real,
not rehearsed, everything changes:

→  Your authority grows.
→→  Your audience pays attention.
→→→  Your content converts into leads.

Not because you kept being perfect.
but because you start sounding like YOU.


This is exactly what we help CEOs do:
turn your voice into posts that build trust,
cut through AI noise, and bring you leads…

… without you spending hours
writing posts that go nowhere.


We’ve done it for Leaders from New York
to Dubai. Join us to turn your LinkedIn into
consistent authority and new opportunities.

Let’s get your storytold.
Trust me on this one.


P.S. Who spotted the spelling mistakes in this post? They're importnat: They prove I wrote this myself, without AI!

I was writing a description of Storytold today, and there was a little “Generate with AI” button. Curious, I clicked it.

I also wrote my own, from my brain.
Can you guess which one is which?


OPTION A:
We emphasise authentic, real stories, an intimate Brand Discovery process, and help our clients communicate with real, ego-less stories about their past that connect them more authentically to their audience.


OPTION B:
We think creatively to deliver impactful results for our clients. We specialize in crafting and implementing strategies that elevate brand narratives and drive growth.
 
 
Did you guess which was which?
 

Mine was A. While my version isn’t
perfect, it definitely sounds more 
real than B, the AI written version.

The AI impressed me with how 
accurate the description was… 
But something wasn’t right. 

It somehow managed to be factual
correct with the description of our 
services, yet it also reads as hollow 
and soul-less at the same time.


This is why we need to use 
our human brains more often. 

This is why, when it comes 
to something important, 
we CANNOT outsource it to AI.

So if you're using AI to write content, 
you're damaging your reputation.

It doesn't have to be us, but get
a team of humans who write in
YOUR tone of voice instead.
