They dig into the unspoken power dynamics between recruiters and candidates, how burnout fuels bad decisions, and why quiet quitting might not be the answer you're looking for.If you've ever felt invisible in your career or doubted your next move, this episode will give you the mindset reset you didn't know you needed.Must-Hear Insights and Key MomentsFrom Recruiter to Coach – Tiarna shares her transition from the recruitment world to career coaching, explaining how personal burnout and professional misalignment led her to find deeper meaning in helping people unlock clarity and confidence.The Power of Owning Your Story – The conversation dives into why so many people—especially women—struggle to articulate their worth and how career coaching can help shift those narratives.Quiet Quitting: A Symptom, Not a Solution – Tiarna breaks down why quiet quitting is a red flag for deeper disengagement and how it can be an opportunity to reflect and pivot before you fully burn out.Recruiter Red Flags – Susanna and Tiarna expose what candidates often miss when dealing with recruiters and how to spot the signs that a role—or a recruiter—isn't aligned with your values.Job Search Mindset Reset – They unpack why desperation in a job search backfires and how reframing the process around curiosity and ownership leads to better long-term outcomes.Words of Wisdom: Standout Quotes from This Episode“When people come to me, they think the problem is their résumé—but it's really their relationship to their career.” – Tiarna Mccormack“You're not stuck—you're just scared to take up space.” – Tiarna Mccormack“Quiet quitting is a coping mechanism for something much deeper.” – Tiarna Mccormack“Owning your story is about reclaiming your career narrative before someone else writes it for you.” – Tiarna Mccormack“If a recruiter makes you feel small, that's a massive red flag.” – Tiarna Mccormack“Most of the time, people already know what they want—they just need permission to want it.” – Tiarna Mccormack“When you're desperate in a job search, you show up differently—and you attract the wrong opportunities.” – Susanna Gray“Your self-worth should not be tied to your job title.” – Tiarna Mccormack“We're not meant to stay in the same role for 5, 10, 15 years and feel nothing.” – Tiarna Mccormack“Clarity in your career isn't found in a spreadsheet—it's found in your story.” – Susanna GrayAbout Tiarna MccormackTiarna Mccormack is a recruitment professional with over 10 years of experience, specializing in connecting senior talent with recruitment agencies.

Bad assumptions. Change that. Assumptions of any kind. They simply ruin your negotiation process. Any time you speak first, you're making an assumption. Anytime you're thinking, you're making an assumption. I know this sounds ridiculous, but unless you actually have a job offer in hand, you don't know what the employer is thinking. This is public enemy #1—assumptions—when it comes to negotiating an offer. Public enemy #2 is not knowing what success looks like and how to argue your value in relation to it.

Bonnie fills in for a ‘sick' Lauren (so the swear quota is waaaay down) and we speak with one of the most enigmatic figures in the TA industry, Marrin-Boyd Andrews – or MBA, as the 'cool' kids call him. MBA started his life as an ultra-successful DJ – DJ RemixxX - (check a link to one of his tracks in the comments) and then fell into sourcing via recruitment. Anyone who knows MBA is absolutely amazed by his passion and knowledge around AI Prompt Engineering, and he blesses us with his take on AI… where we are at... and where we are headed. The first time we really met MBA was at the 2024 ATC Conference, where the packed room held on to his every word and walked out of the session blown away and so much smarter! ‘With AI, you're dealing with a 5-year-old at the start and the idea is to educate that 5-year-old up to a point where it's on par with you.' MBA. Thanks to Avature for supporting the pod this month.
