Recruiting in 2024 be like-

Hiring manager: “I know they were looking for 100k and fully remote, but lets see if they'll accept 80k in the office everyday… its a tough market right now… I bet they will...”

Recruiter: 🙄

#recruiterlife

Candidate: “What’s the budget for the role?”
Recruiter: “Great question, what are you targeting in your next position?”
Candidate: “Budget?”
Recruiter: “Target?”

Repeats endlessly 

Easy way to end this?

Salary transparency…

Agree?

😉

Real talk about this job market.

If you're looking for a corporate job it’s really tough.

My advice is simple.

1. Apply to more jobs (this usually wouldn’t be my advice but right now its a numbers game)

2. Try to follow up with a hiring manager (you can use Linkedin to identify)

3. Tap into your family/freinds/past co-workers for referrals

4. Join online communities, many have Job boards with the job poster in the community 

5. Use AI tools wisely. There are tools that can help you apply, build resumes, prepare for interviews.

6. Don't blame yourself. Its a rough market for many and that's out of your control.

7. Be careful what/who you listen to on social media 😉

I don't believe this job market will be like this forever, it will eventually change. Stay positive.

👏👏👏

Candidate: "I'm pretty passive right now, but I'm open to a quick chat?"

Recruiter:

Recruiting is all about relationships and conversations... You may have a conversation with a recruiter and nothing happens for 2 weeks, a few months, or even a year down the line. 

The best recruiters I know, rarely start a new search without having candidates they've talked to in the past that might be a fit. 

Whether you are recruiting or job searching, having a strong network to call on is crucial!

So next time a recruiter reaches out, (Excluding the messages you get that are clearly SPAM) take the call and spend some time networking and hearing about the market...

Recruiting is relationships and relationships are the long game.

I believe in ABC,

Always be Connecting. 

(Unless it's linkedin where they cap connections at 30k... 🤷‍♂️)

👏👏👏

“Apply for jobs you aren't qualified for, 

You never know until you shoot your shot...”

Cue - selfie

I saw this advice on here yesterday and guess what?

It went mega-viral...

Here's my problem with it, it seems to insinuate that you should apply to any job you see, without actually looking at the job description or the company…

Instead, my advice is to apply for jobs that you are 50-80% qualified for:

Example - 

They are asking for 5 years of experience,

Don't apply if you have 1 year of experience - 20% of the requirement

Do apply if you have 3 years of experience - 60% requirement

We need someone that's worked in B2B marketing...

Don't apply if you've never worked in marketing,

Do apply if you've worked in B2C marketing...

Yes apply for jobs that might be the right next step in your career,

Yes apply for jobs that you might not be 100% match for,

But...

Be calculated and smart with the applications or you will be wasting your own time...

Plus once you “beat the ATS”...

Then you need to “beat the interview” 

Then you need to do the job and execute to succeed in the long run.

Side note: The ATS is not out to get you, despite what the “one line linkedin gurus” say...

Rant over 

#jobsearch #hiring2024

Employer - "Why did you leave your last position?"
Candidate comeback - "Why is this role open?"

Employer - "Why do you want to work here?"
Candidate comeback - "Why should I come work at your company?"

Employer - "What salary are you targeting?"
Candidate comeback - "What's the budget for this role?"

Employer - "What's your biggest weakness?"
Candidate comeback - "What does your glassdoor say?"

Always remember that while employers are interviewing you...

You are also interviewing them.

Remember the easy days of recruiting in during the great resignation of 2021???

Those were the good ol’ days 😉

Its rough on these recruiting streets.

#recruiterlife

When a candidate reaches back a year after 

you’ve DM'd them and asks,

“Is the job still open…”

Me:

Job seekers. Don't do this bro.

On a serious note - here are my top 3 tips for messaging recruiters and hiring managers:

1. Be specific about the job or types of job you're looking for. If you have a specific example of a job they posted or a job listed on their company website, even better.

Context is everything.

2. Be short, don't send a paragraph explaining your situation. Recruiters/hiring managers don't have time to read every DM, so the shorter the better.

3. Follow up. I can't tell you how many "urgent messages" I get with zero follow-up. I've found that following up 3 times is the key. Be patient, persistent, and polite. (Thanks Adam Posner for this golden advice)

If you do all 3 of these things, I believe you've put your best foot forward, so feel free to move on!

Please repost and share with your jobseeker network.

Hiring Managers: “We know it’s competitive to bring people in, we will do whatever it takes."

Also Hiring Managers: “No, not that candidate, I didn’t like the hat they're wearing in their Linkedin profile photo”

Recruiter: 

#recruiterlife

Companies: “we really care about good candidate experience…”

Also companies: “please send us your resume, then fill out this application with the same jobs, then get ready for a 9 round interview process over 4 months, then we’ll ghost you…”

The rest of us: 🙄

Recruiting in 2021 -

Recruiter: “I've got a fully remote job that pays 20k more than you're making right now…”

Candidate: “sign me up”

Recruiting in 2024 -

Recruiter: “I've got a job that's in an amazing an office and even though the pay is 30k less than you're making the company culture makes up for it… interested?”

Candidate: 🙄

Dell: “Return to the office or don't get promoted…”

Dell employee: “🙄”

Another great example of what NOT to do to get employees back to the office.

Agree?

Good morning to everyone except companies that post “fully remote” jobs that are REALLY hybrid.

STOP. WASTING. CANDIDATES. TIME.

👏👏👏

♻️if you agree.

Recruiting in 2021 - What we could offer candidates…

Fully remote jobs,
High paying jobs,
Sign on bonuses,
Equity options

Recruiting in 2024 - What we can offer candidates…

Office snacks,
Great culture,
Pizza parties,
Better pay than no job

Bring back the great resignation 😉
