Episode Details

Ever had a candidate who looks incredible on paper… but the market just doesn’t respond?

Today I talk about a conversation I had on the launch tour that really highlights a mistake a lot of recruiters make — especially those still chasing their first placement. It’s easy to get excited about a candidate with 30+ years of experience, a great CV, and a strong track record. But the real question isn’t whether you think they’re a great candidate. The question is whether the market does.

If you’re sending CVs and hearing nothing back, this ep will make you stop and rethink how you’re judging what a “great candidate” actually looks like in today’s market.

Tune in for:
👉 Why years of experience don’t always equal demand
👉 The mistake new recruiters make when they rely on “great candidates” instead of real roles
👉 How the market really decides who is valuable right now
👉 Why the 8–10 year bracket is often the sweet spot
👉 The simple mindset shift that can help you make your first placement faster
