Hello everyone,In this episode of The Modern Recruiter, I had a great conversation with Jared Watts, a former professional soccer player turned recruiter. I'm always a big fan of mixing different fields, so I was excited to learn how the skills and mindset from professional sport (in this case soccer or - as we like to call it in France - football) can be useful in recruiting.Here are some of the key takeaways from our discussion:1/ How to apply an athletic mindset to recruiting Jared emphasized the importance of the competitive nature and resilience developed as a professional athlete. He shared how these traits have translated into his recruiting career. As he put it, “You're never as good or as bad as you think you are,” emphasizing continuous improvement and adaptability.Here's what he recommends:* Competitive Spirit: Just like in sports, recruiting is competitive. Jared's story is a testament to the importance of a competitive spirit in achieving success.* Resilience: Failure is part of the journey. Jared emphasizes resilience and learning from every setback.* Data-Driven Decisions: Using data to back up your claims can make a significant difference, whether negotiating your contract or presenting a candidate to a client.2/ The importance of numbers and dataJust as in sports, where every move is analyzed and optimized, Jared applies a data-driven approach to recruiting. During his soccer career, he negotiated his contract using performance metrics. Today, he tells candidates' stories backed with data.He recommends to use data to tell a compelling story about the candidate's potential impact.3/ Balancing Multiple Roles Jared's journey is impressive not only because of his transition but also because of his ability to juggle multiple roles. He's currently the only internal recruiter at his company, where he's hired 65 people in the past 18 months. Simultaneously, he's building his own side agency, successfully placing executives for other companies and bringing in close to $400,000 - AS A SIDE GIG (!).Here's how he does it:* He builds systems. Use tools like LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, and Google Sheets to stay organized and efficient.* He manages his time (and works hard): He blocks out specific times for different tasks, including early mornings and late nights if needed.As Jared says, “The way you do anything is the way you're going to do everything. So, I've taken that mindset and made sure that I've translated that into the recruiting side.”Listen to the full episode to dive deeper and learn how to apply a competitive, data-driven mindset to your recruiting efforts!By the way!

Hello everyone,In this episode of The Modern Recruiter, I had a fantastic conversation with Clark Willcox, founder of The Digital Recruiter and host of the podcast with the same name. We dived into how to leverage LinkedIn effectively as a recruiter, offering insights valuable for both corporate and agency recruiters. Just after, he interviewed me as a guest on his podcast on the topic of Turning your LinkedIn brand into a sales machine, I would recommend giving it a listen too! Here are some of the key takeaways from our discussion:1/ How to optimize Your LinkedIn profile as a landing page (with lots of great tips)Clark emphasized the importance of making your LinkedIn profile a compelling landing page and shared a story about a client who revamped his LinkedIn profile and signed a new lead within only a week.Here's what he recommends:* Headline and About Section: Clearly state your value proposition and recent accomplishments. For example, “I build sales teams for industrial automation companies. Recently placed a Chief Marketing Officer at HireSweet”* Profile Picture and Banner: Use a professional and clear profile picture. Avoid AI-generated images.* Featured Section: Highlight your best posts, articles, or a call-to-action like booking a consultation. This section is crucial for showcasing your expertise.* + a few more snippets (listen to the conversation!)2/ The best outreach campaignsClark recommends to level up LinkedIn outreach by using a LinkedIn automation tool like Dripify + Sales Navigator (or Recruiter Lite/Recruiter). Here's the simplified approach Clark recommends:* No Invitation Note for Clients: Skip the note to increase acceptance rates. Once connected, engage with open-ended questions like, “How are your hiring efforts going in this challenging market?”. Play the long game, don't try to close them right away, because in Clark's words “Most of your outreach is sales is not going to work. Have that internal patience.”* Invitation Note for Candidates: Send a personalized message that highlights the role's benefits. For example, “I think you might be a potential fit for a remote software developer role that offers exciting projects.”3/ Follow-Up TacticsFollowing up is key to maintaining engagement:* For Clients: Use open-ended questions to uncover needs. If they say they aren't hiring, dig deeper by checking their job postings and asking targeted questions.* For Candidates: Tailor your follow-ups based on their engagement and responses.Final ThoughtsSuccessful recruiting isn't necessarily about grinding harder; it's about working smarter and being strategic in our approach - and LinkedIn can be a great channel to do just that. As Clark said, “It's about leveraging the tools of today to make your efforts more efficient and effective.” So if you're not active on LinkedIn yet, I hope this conversation was useful and will help you get started! Listen to the full episode to dive deeper and learn how to create a robust LinkedIn system that drives results! Byw the way! I love when people reply to these emails, and I read and reply to all of your messages. They keep me motivated to continue the podcast, even after 4 years! So I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode: What strategies have you found effective on LinkedIn? What tools do you use yourselves? Come on, just hit reply and let's chat! Have a great week!RobinPS: My next episode will be with Jared Watts and we'll be talking about how to apply professional sports (in Jared's case, soccer) to recruiting! It's been an awesome conversation, and I'm sure you'll love it too! See you in two weeks! This is a public episode.

In this episode, Gerhard follows up on The Changelog #375, which is the last time that he spoke Crossplane with Dan and Jared. Many things changed since then, such as abstractions and compositions, as well as using Crossplane to build platforms, which were mostly ideas. Fast forward 18 months, 2k changes, as well as a major version, and Crossplane is now an easy choice - some would say the best choice - for platform teams to declare what infrastructure means to them. You can now use Crossplane to define your infrastructure abstractions across multiple vendors, including AWS, GCP & Equinix Metal. The crazy ideas from 2019 are now bold and within reach. Gerhard also has an idea for the changelog.com 2022 setup. Listen to what Jared & Dan think, and then let us know your thoughts too.

Adam is still on loan to the Commonwealth of Kentucky, so we bring in Steven Streff as a replacement to join Jason and Ben. We start with D.C. United's improbable 1-0 win over the Colorado Rapids, and we have to start with Jared Watts' hilarious own goal. We also talk about how good both Bill Hamid and Russell Canouse were, and also sing the praises of Paul Arriola before wishing that players would just shoot the dang ball. Even without Adam we can have an Adam's Fun Time News Roundup Time, and so we talk about the injury status of various D.C. United players and the fact that the team will actually have players called up by their national teams for these World Cup qualifiers. Finally, we get to the two games this week: mid-week against Atlanta United, and the weekend against the New England Revolution. We first talk about the trade of Bobby Boswell to Atlanta, talk about their new spaceship stadium and how it doesn't fully work yet, and ponder the options to replace Steve Birnbaum. For the Revolution, we spend most of the time askinga single question: why haven't their young players gotten better? Give it a listen!
