The Recruiter’s Perspective: What You Never Knew About Who’s Judging You
Ever wondered what’s really going on behind the scenes when you hit “submit” on a job application? This eye-opening session pulls back the curtain on the recruiter’s world—where sales targets, cultural fit, and strategic matchmaking collide. Whether you're job hunting, coaching candidates, or simply curious, this is your backstage pass to the recruitment machine.
What You’ll Learn- The Hidden Motivations Behind Recruiter Behaviour: Discover the stark differences between external and internal recruiters—and why their goals may not align with yours.
- How Recruiters Actually Assess Candidates: Learn the layered criteria recruiters use to evaluate technical skills, cultural compatibility, and marketability.
- The Full Recruiter Sales Cycle: From sourcing roles to chasing invoices, explore the 21-step journey that recruiters navigate to place a candidate.
Key Takeaways
- Recruiters aren’t career coaches—they’re closers. External recruiters are paid to place people, not to nurture them. Understanding this changes how you engage.
- HR metrics don’t measure success—they measure movement. Internal recruiters often focus on volume, not outcome, which affects how your application is processed.
Insider Insights You’ll Walk Away With- Why your CV might be skipped—even if you meet every requirement.
- How recruiters “sell” you to hiring managers, and what you can do to make their job easier.
- What cultural compatibility really means, and how to signal it without sounding scripted.
This session is your strategic edge in a system that’s often misunderstood. Come ready to rethink how you present yourself—and leave with the tools to be seen, heard, and hired.
