It’s a good reminder of what recruiting is really about: building relationships, understanding what motivates people, and knowing when the timing is right. If you’re planning an upcoming leadership hire, our team is always open to the conversation: https://lnkd.in/eSmp9-Cz #RecruitingStories #SearchStrategy #ExecutiveSearch #Hiring

Strong perspective from Chloe on something that doesn’t get enough attention in recruiting. The technical side of hiring will always matter, but it’s the conversations behind the scenes that ultimately determine whether a placement works long term. Worth the read for any hiring manager or candidate navigating today’s market.
I don’t think people realize how much of recruiting has nothing to do with the job itself. A lot of it comes down to the raw conversations where someone isn't sure what they want yet, or they're navigating tough life decisions. And unfortunately, that’s the part of the job that doesn’t get talked about enough. I wrote a piece on the soft skills behind recruiting, what actually moves a process forward, where things tend to go wrong, and what I’m hearing in real conversations. Read it and see if it resonates with your industry as well: https://lnkd.in/e53Hjc5x If you’re hiring or even just thinking about your next move, I’m always open to having those real conversations.
