Curran Recruiting’s Post

How are y’all prepping for small talk next week? Challenge: What if we committed to using next week's holiday festivities to practice our messaging. Making sure it really serves us? In hundreds of conversations with candidates (and even just great teammates), we've learned that most of us are telling stories about ourselves that are old and out of date. We have to know this before we can even start reviewing our resumes and other collateral. The Hustle Hunters team has built a revamp program to help get a 3rd party recruiter's perspective, and create one liners that serve us TODAY (not 5 years ago) and will get us into that new job onto that cool project, or that promo we have our eyes on! #JobSearch #Messaging #Candidate #PromotionReady #MessagingMatters #WordsMatter

Happy Monday all, with so much going on in this world of ours I wanted to remind everyone to start their week with kindness. Recruiters- respond to candidates you haven't gotten back to or try and give feedback to those who have not received them. Companies- please focus on candidate and employee experience, I promise we do not take this lightly and we all appreciate it more than you know. Job seekers- if it has not worked yet, your application process or your current resume, then please do something different. It makes all the difference in the world to have resumes specific to industry or seniority of a role as long as it is still representative of work you've done. Those employed- if you know someone with a green banner posting, please share their posts! If you know someone who can benefit from you referring them, please refer them. If your company is hiring and you see the job posting, share it on your feed! But all of us, let's be good people and continue to progress together. Have a great week ahead! Cheers! #kindness

C’MON RECRUITERS - IT’S TIME TO PLAY SANTA We’re seeing more & more LinkedIn posts of people looking for employment before Christmas. Sadly, many of these post have a hint of desperation. Christmas is a joyful time but it can also be stressful. I imagine it would be less joyful and more stressful if you were going to find it hard to put a child’s present under your tree. At an internal meeting last week one Randstad Sourceright leader made a thought provoking statement. In addition to doing our jobs, they called on us to do “good”. Their call to action resonated with me and I completely agree with the sentiment. If you’re an experienced recruiter then undoubtedly you know someone looking for employment at the moment. I accept you may not have a role for them right now, I get that. However you do have a network and if you’re a talented recruiter you also have a skill for connecting people. I call on you to “do good” in the spirit of the season. Just one simple introduction for a job seeker to someone in your network that starts a conversation on how they might help. At a minimum, providing some hope going into the summer break. Respectfully, if you can’t think of a way to do this for just one person then I’d argue you aren’t as well connected as you like to think you are!! C’mon recruiters - now is the time to play Santa (just like my dear old Dad does every year). Do some good … #talentacquistion

🎉 Happy 3rd Day of 2024, Recruiters! 🎊 As we step into our third day of this sparkling new year, let's pause for a moment to appreciate the unique journey of a recruiter. While most people spent January 1st making resolutions they might forget and January 2nd wondering why they made such ambitious resolutions, you, dear recruiters, spent it sifting through resumes and finding those hidden gems in the job market. 🕵️♂️💎 Today, let's not talk about KPIs, sourcing strategies, or the ever-elusive perfect candidate. Instead, let's celebrate the unsung heroes of the corporate world - yes, that's you! 🦸♀️🦸♂️ Here are three exciting things about being a recruiter that no one tells you: Coffee is Your Secret Weapon: While others pledge to drink less coffee as a New Year resolution, we embrace it wholeheartedly. After all, it's our secret potion for keeping those eagle eyes sharp while scanning through CVs. ☕👀 Your Intuition is Often Right: You might not realize it, but your gut feeling about a candidate often turns out to be spot-on. Trust it more this year; it's almost as if you have a sixth sense for talent. 🔮✨ You're a Career Matchmaker: Forget Cupid; recruiters are the real matchmakers, pairing candidates with their dream jobs and watching the magic happen. Isn't that a superpower worth celebrating? 🏹❤️ So, here's to more successful placements, coffee-fueled mornings, and the joy of making career dreams come true in 2024! Cheers to a year of great talent, unexpected joys, and, of course, a bit more humor in our everyday hustle. 🥳

I have to something to admit– when I joined LinkedIn 5 years ago it was because I was being trained as a recruiter. And I did not like what I saw. What I saw was engineers being given lowball offers for high stress jobs that did not contribute to a healthy work/life balance. Sure, some may say 'that's just the industry', but the truth is the 'industry' is created by the ones running it. I ended up spending only 2 years in the tech recruitment industry under two different companies and I couldn't take it anymore. I left those roles, because at a core level it didn't feel right. I believe you deserve a life of fulfillment, joy, and abundance and so much more. I believe we are here in these human bodies to ENJOY life not stress and suffer unnecessarily. And if you're someone that loves working, has talents and gifts in certain areas and you want to get paid for it– feeling undervalued, overworked, and unfulfilled by your job f*ucking sucks. And I'm here to tell you it's not worth it and there's a better way. 3 years ago I left the recruitment industry for good and now I help people find jobs and career paths that make them excited to wake up every day. That are fulfilling and abundant, and purposeful. And I want to help you understand WHY this is happening and HOW to break out of it. So you can create a life of aligned opportunities that light your Soul on fire!! Join me this Thursday for the 'Why' Masterclass to learn how to make this change. It's free!
