Hi, I’m Gavin Lister, Hidden Job Market Coach and Birkman Certified Consultant. Over the last 25 years, I’ve helped over 3000 corporate professionals navigate challenging career transitions, most of whom landed roles that were never advertised. If your job search experience is anything like most of theirs before they met me, four common, inter-related obstacles could be holding you back. ❌ You’re not getting traction with recruiters ❌ You’re focusing on advertised roles, which is only 20%-30% of the market ❌ You’re constantly getting screened out or ghosted ❌ You’ve “tried networking” with underwhelming results I know from personal experience how each of these feels. I also know that unless you change your strategy, you’re in for a very long and frustrating search. The outcomes my clients typically experience are the polar opposite of this: ✅ Relationships with the recruiters most likely to place them ✅ Access to the roughly 70% of roles that are never advertised – the Hidden Job Market ✅ More callbacks and interviews ✅ Rapidly growing strategic network without a single cold call When you build a structured campaign focused largely on the Hidden Job Market, your chances of landing a great unadvertised role within 90 days increase dramatically. I had always been told that to find the best roles you must network, network, network. But there were two reasons why I was never able to implement that advice. 😟 Reaching out to people and asking for a job was terrifying. 😟 I had no idea how to build and leverage a network that would help me find a role. When I was lucky enough to go on an outplacement program following my second retrenchment – yep, I’ve been there twice – I finally learned two things: 🔹 Everyone has natural strengths crucial to a successful hidden market campaign. 🔹 With the right approach, you never need to make a cold call or ask anyone for a job. Having worked as a professional recruiter, hiring manager, job seeker and coach across 4 countries and 7 industries, I bring insights from every aspect of talent sourcing and selection and strategic career management. Let's work together to build a campaign tailored for you and designed to shorten your time to landing. ▶ Want to explore if a Hidden Job Market strategy is right for you?
