  • The need for the right mindset – recruiting can be notoriously difficult. Recruiters need to find their inner resilience to keep on track with their goals and reduce burnout.
  • Turning rejection into opportunity – as a recruiter, you’re bound to come across candidates that reject your offers or ghost you along the process. Modern recruiters need to capitalize on efficiency and keep communication timely to reduce the likelihood of candidate drop-off.
  • Getting to know candidates more personally – organization reshuffling, restructuring, and job hopping can come with stigmas. Recruiters need to push past this and build relationships with candidates to provide a personalized, positive experience.
  • The 2023 talent market outlook – the hiring market continues to look tough, and TA professionals need to work hard to cross the finish line with each candidate. The key to staying competitive is by developing a genuine human connection.
  • Ideal celebrities to lead TA teams – Zoula says that George Clooney is her top choice for a stand-in leader for her TA team. Find out why she thinks his charisma and skillset fit the mold.
