As the attractions industry faces workforce reductions and career shifts, professionals are grappling with the daunting challenge of reentering the job market. For many, the process feels outdated, impersonal, and overwhelming. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about how to make the job search more effective and fulfilling, sharing timely advice gathered from recruiters, job seekers, and their own experiences navigating career development in the attractions industry. The Resume: More Than a Job Description "Make sure you're telling the story—not just what you did, but how you made an impact." Matt shares insights from a recent virtual job fair, emphasizing the importance of showing accomplishments, not just tasks. Recruiters want resumes that demonstrate measurable outcomes and individual contributions, not ones that copy and paste job descriptions. Using AI like ChatGPT can help refine wording and formatting, but it's crucial that the document still reflects your authentic voice and personality. Using AI as a Tool, Not a Crutch "Let it review your work, not do your work." While AI tools can help polish resumes and cover letters, Matt and Josh warn against relying on them to create your materials from scratch. Authenticity still matters. AI should be used to enhance your message, not replace your voice. If a recruiter can't tell who you are from your writing, your application loses its impact. Your Network Is More Powerful Than Your Resume "If you know someone at the company, let them know you're applying." Both hosts agree that your network can often open doors more effectively than a resume alone. A referral can elevate your application and help bypass filters that might otherwise discard it. Matt and Josh emphasize the importance of not only maintaining your network but actively growing it, especially through platforms like LinkedIn. Be Politely Assertive "Follow up. Let them know you're still interested." Recruiters value candidates who show enthusiasm and persistence, without becoming overbearing. Borrowing the phrase “politely assertive” from Denise Beckson of Morey's Piers, Matt and Josh encourage job seekers to check in respectfully after applying or interviewing. A thoughtful follow-up message can show genuine interest and prevent your application from falling through the cracks. Transferring Skills Across Industries "If you managed safety at a water park, you can manage safety on a manufacturing floor." Don't underestimate how relevant your attractions-industry experience is in other fields. From safety standards to leadership and guest service, these skills are highly transferable. Matt and Josh advise job seekers to highlight how their expertise applies beyond the attractions world, especially when considering roles in adjacent industries. Redefining Your Identity and Building Your Brand "Your employer is not your identity—your skills are." Josh discusses the importance of separating your identity from your employer (whether past or present) and instead focusing on your personal brand. Creating thought leadership content and posting regularly can build credibility, demonstrate expertise, and attract opportunities organically. Reflecting on Fit and Culture "Interview the company as much as they interview you." Not every job is the right fit, and that's okay. Both hosts stress the importance of evaluating a company's culture and values during the application process. Josh shares a story of walking out of a shadowing experience after realizing the role wasn't a match—an empowering reminder that saying no is sometimes the best move. Practical Advice from Recruiters "Apply directly through company websites for better visibility and data accuracy." Recruiters note that applications from company sites are more complete and reliable than those from job boards like Indeed. Matt also highlights the importance of clarity in the hiring timeline, encouraging hiring managers to communicate expectations clearly to applicants. Whether you're refining a resume, growing your network, or exploring other industries, the path to your next opportunity begins with knowing who you are and what you bring to the table.

In the final episode of this six-part podcast series about hiring in science, Julie Gould asks what it takes to be the perfect candidate for a science job vacancy.Lauren Celano, a careers coach who co-founded Propel Careers, based in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2009, defines a high-calibre candidate as someone who hits up to 70% of the technical things being asked for in a job spec, plus being a strong team player with good communication skills.David Perlmutter, a communications researcher at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, says recruiters today are seeking what he terms Renaisance people who are able to demonstrate eight or nine qualities and qualifications. Thirty years ago, there might have been just two requirements listed on a job ad. “We're asking too much of them, so of course they're coming up short,” he says.Julie Gould tests Perlmutter's hypothesis by comparing a 1995 job ad in Nature for a postdoctoral researcher with one posted this year, at the same organisation. The results are revealing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, Amir sits down with Greg Russell, VP of Talent Acquisition at CoverGenius, to unpack why talent acquisition should be treated like project management. They explore how applying frameworks like the project management triangle (scope, cost, time) can elevate recruiting conversations, drive better alignment, and ultimately improve hiring outcomes. From setting expectations with hiring managers to negotiating trade-offs, this episode reframes TA as a strategic, structured discipline—not just a reactive function.

Het was de kortste presentatie sinds de aankondiging van de iPhone. De eerste iPhone wel te verstaan. In ongeveer anderhalf uur vloog topman Tim Cook (op de jaarlijkse World Wide Developer Conference) met z'n collega's door de nieuwste bedenksels van Apple heen. En daaruit bleek dat Apple het nog steeds NIET voor elkaar krijgt om hun eigen AI te maken. Het hoogtepunt was een nieuw uiterlijk voor alle Apple-systemen. Maar ook dat ging niet helemaal goed. Want bij de video die Apple erover op YouTube publiceerde stond het YouTube logo over de G en de L van Liquid Glass heen. Waardoor er Liquid Ass stond.Apple werd ineens een grap. Daar hebben we het deze aflevering over. Hoe kon het zo ver komen en hoe komt Apple hieruit? En kan het nog een rol van betekenis spelen op het gebied van AI?Misschien moeten we even bellen met Mark Zuckerberg. Zijn Meta loopt ook hopeloos achter, maar hij heeft de oplossing gevonden! Hij speelt recruiter en is persoonlijk in gesprek met nerds.Verder hebben we het ook over de onderhandelingen tussen de Amerikanen en Chinezen, in Londen. De vorige gesprekken (in Geneve) bevielen de kemphanen zo goed, dat ze ze voortzetten in een ander land. We kijken of het einde van de handelsoorlog nu eindelijk nabij is. De termijn van Klaas Knot komt ook steeds dichterbij. Nog maar drie weken en dan is 'ie baas van De Nederlandsche Bank af. Maar er is nog steeds géén opvolger. En dat heeft gevolgen voor het rentebeleid van de ECB.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
How do you know when a company is ready to go public? And what do you do to prepare for this? Chirag Shah, CFO of Motive and former CFO of Kong and Cornerstone OnDemand, joins CJ to share insights from his experience of scaling businesses from $30 million to nearly $1 billion and tripling ARR. He talks about taking companies public and how he helped take one private again in a $5.2 billion deal. In this episode, he explains what signals indicate that a company is ready to accelerate its growth, the art and science of building sales capacity, and how to balance efficiency and growth in hypergrowth mode. He also covers how to achieve a great valuation without a strong performance, the biggest headache on the road to IPO, and whether you should IPO in the first place or remain private.—LINKS:Chirag Shah on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chirag-shah-787b1b20/Motive: https://gomotive.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: http://mostlymetrics.com—TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:11) Sponsor – Tabs | Rippling Spend | Pulley(06:25) Personal Product Market Fit: Preparing Companies for IPOs(10:34) How Being a General Manager Made Chirag a Better CFO(15:02) Sponsor – Navan | NetSuite | Planful(18:11) Asking Better Questions in Finance(20:08) Signals That a Company Is Ready To Accelerate Its Growth(25:10) The Art and Science of Building Sales Capacity(28:35) The Dangers of Adding Too Many Sales Reps(33:22) Determining the Numbers of Recruiters and Sales Manager Interviews(35:03) How To Garner a Great Valuation Without a Strong Performance(37:18) The Sweet Spot for Earnings Guidance(41:22) The Biggest Headache on the Road to IPO(44:03) Underappreciated Challenges of Being a Public SaaS Company(46:42) Taking Cornerstone OnDemand Public and Then Private Again(50:17) IPO or Stay Private: Advice for CFOs(52:15) Optimizing for Public Company Holders Versus Private Equity Investors(55:05) Balancing Efficiency and Growth in Hypergrowth Mode(58:34) Long-Ass Lightning Round: Preparation for Being a CFO(01:01:34) Advice to Younger Self(01:04:04) Finance Software Stack(01:05:01) Craziest Expense Story—SPONSORS:Tabs is a platform that brings all of your revenue-facing data and workflows - billing, AR, payments, rev rec, and reporting - onto a single system so you can automate and be more flexible.

2B Bolder Podcast : Career Insights for the Next Generation of Women in Business & Tech
What does it really take to land a job at companies like Meta and Twitter in today's cutthroat market? A former big brand recruiter, Keiyana Arnold, pulls back the curtain on hiring practices that most job seekers never see, delivering eye-opening insights that will transform your approach to career advancement."This job market is a dumpster fire, a shark tank," Keiyana reveals with refreshing candor. Drawing from her decade of experience at tech giants including Meta, Twitter, and CNN, she explains why mass-applying to positions is a losing strategy. Behind the scenes, recruiters face impossible volumes, sometimes thousands of applications daily for a single role, forcing them to rely on filtering systems and referrals that leave most applicants completely unseen.The game-changing revelation? Your resume matters far less than your network and visibility. Keiyana shares how LinkedIn has become the ultimate career advancement platform, with the algorithm heavily favoring the mere 30% of users who create content. "I still get employers in my DM asking me for interviews every week," she notes, demonstrating how strategic online presence translates to real opportunities.Beyond tactical advice, Keiyana shares the personal health crisis that transformed her relationship with work and led to founding Professional Love Letters, her coaching business helping professionals navigate career transitions. This powerful story underscores her holistic approach to career development, one that prioritizes wellness alongside professional advancement.For listeners feeling stuck or invisible in their job search, Keiyana's practical guidance offers a clear path forward. Her FIDE app community "Ask a Recruiter Anything" provides direct access to expert advice, with success stories flowing in regularly from members who've implemented her strategies.Are you ready to stop getting filtered out and start standing out?

If you're still posting like a top producer but expecting people to follow you like a top leader, it's time for a shift. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to reframe your social media presence to attract talent, not just clients. Your digital brand is your recruiting reputation. I'll walk you through a proven framework to flip your message from “I close deals” to “I build leaders.” Because if you want top talent to follow you, you need to show up like someone worth following. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The disconnect between producer-style social posts and recruiting outcomes. [01:00] Why Your Brand Isn't Working – Your profile says top producer when it needs to say top leader. [01:30] Step 1: Define What You Want to Be Known For – Focus on your vision, your value, and your voice. [02:30] Step 2: Elevate the Conversation – Talk less about volume. Talk more about growth, mentorship, and development. [03:30] Step 3: Document Your Leadership – Share real moments, coaching sessions, growth wins, behind-the-scenes leadership insights. [04:30] Step 4: Build a Consistent Posting Rhythm – Use a weekly content cadence that includes vision, wins, insights, values, and gratitude. [05:30] Step 5: Remove Distractions – Market updates and closings? Move those to stories or separate accounts to avoid confusing your audience. [06:00] Coaching Case Study – How one leader went from “Superman” producer to team-building recruiter in just six weeks, and started getting inbound interest fast. [07:00] Final Challenge – Audit your social media today. If your last 10 posts don't reflect leadership, change the message. Key Takeaways People Follow Leaders, Not Closers – If your feed looks like a producer's, it's time to evolve your message. Vision, Value, Voice – Define and share what you stand for and who you're building with. Make It About the Team – Highlight others. Show development. Move from “look at me” to “look at us.” Be Consistent – Social branding works when you show up frequently and with clarity. Your Brand Is Either Attracting or Repelling – Be intentional. Start speaking directly to the people you want to lead. Your next recruit is already watching. Now it's time to give them a reason to reach out. Shift your message, step into your leadership, and let your brand do the recruiting for you. Want help building a social presence that actually brings talent to you?

Hiring great recruiters should be second nature for recruitment business owners—after all, it's what we do for clients daily.
