My search for companies who are ready to hire continues. While I continue to find opportunities to apply for, each one has been flooded with applicants. I continue to look for companies who want to speak with candidates and find a great fit that extends beyond the resume. If you know a company ready to hire or want to hear more about my journey, feel free to reach out. #opentowork #jobsearch

Being a TA professional on the job market really gives you some insight into how companies are thinking (or not) about their candidate experience. The first thing that amazes me is just never hearing back from companies in regard to your application. We ran a report with my team to ensure we had no active candidates on closed reqs. Everyone deserves to hear back, even if it is an automated rejection--it is better than nothing. #talentacquisition #candidateexperience #opentowork

Throughout my job hunt, I’ve come to realize how out of touch hiring managers/teams — even average employees — are with Recruiting & HR. 2 years ago when I was job hunting, my sole priority was aligning my resume with ATS systems so that I’d be shortlisted. Now, it’s hoping that: - A job posting is legitimate - The hiring manager/team exist - Their applicant intake systems aren’t held together by tape How does one even optimize for these variables? People praise the power of “the network” but during a time when referrals have been rendered useless, it’s like unless you went to grad school with the CTO then you’re out of luck. Rant over. _______ #opentowork #jobs #jobhunting

LinkedIn: Companies are making confusing decisions nowadays like this... They say "Hey, we're laying off 10% of our workforce" Then a week later, they post new job reqs hiring for the roles they just laid people off from... Like what. One of the saddest things to see.

Attention: Talent Acquistion Partners and Recruiters! Last time I searched for a job there was strong feelings against designs and distracting colors on your resume. This time around it sounds like many of my peers are taking this route to stand out from other applicants. I'm curious from those reviewing resumes which is a better option. #opentowork #talentacquisition #recruiters

For job seekers who have been messaging hiring managers for positions, what is your response rate? I always try to start a conversation by looking at their profiles and initiating a genuine dialogue, but I rarely get a response. What do you recommend I do? I applied to a few jobs yesterday and today that I am really excited about but am unsure how to approach reaching out to hiring managers. Any advice or thoughts? #jobseeker #opentowork

There are countless job boards available for candidates to use during the job search, and I love that for yall! However, after finding a role that aligns with your expertise and interest, please do yourself a favor and head over to the company's careers site to ensure it's a true opening. While many job boards integrate with ATS systems, not all do. Some companies manually post their jobs on job boards and may forget to remove the posting once it's filled. (We're all human; it happens.) 📌Always verify directly with the company's careers site to avoid disappointment and wasted time. #recruiter #jobseekers #opentowork

Hi Everyone, l lost my job and I'm currently going through a very tough phase. Any leads would be highly appreciated. I have given a few interviews, but unfortunately, I haven't received any job offers after clearing all the rounds. It seems that either budget constraints or specific role requirements are causing the issue. #OpenToWork can be one of the most financially draining experiences, but I'm #NotGivingUp easily! I'm still #OpenForNewOpportunities in the field of #cloudengineer roles. I would really appreciate any assistance, even if it's as simple as liking, sharing, reposting, or commenting on this post to help increase its visibility. #NewOpportunity # Looking For Job #connections #cloudengineer #cloudjobs #cloud #Interview #helpinghands #HRBusinesspartner,#LeadTalentAcquisition #AssistantManagerTalentAcquisition #ManagerHR #ManagerHRBP #ManagerTalentAcquisition #TalentAcquisition,#talentacquisitionspecialist, #recruiter #seniorrecruit
