EP 183. The Black Hole Myth Busted: Top Recruiter's “Top 5” Job Search Strategy - with Kathleen Steffey
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Career Transition Experts, we demystify today’s hiring market and share practical strategies for candidates navigating career transitions.
Key Topics Covered:
- The Hiring "Black Hole" Explained: Companies do want to hire but are overwhelmed by applicant volume and constrained processes. Increased technology-driven applicant flow, without a corresponding increase in human reviewers, causes bottlenecks and applicant silence, which is not personal.
- Creative Outreach: Utilize ideas like voice-to-text messages and group introductions with trusted references to humanize the job search process.
- AI's Evolving Role: AI is now seen as a helpful tool in hiring, not a shortcut, as long as it supports real and accurate content.
Our guest, Kathleen Steffey is the Founder & Chief Talent Officer for Naviga Recruiting & Executive Search. They are a retained firm that places sales, marketing and operations positions for businesses around the world.
