  49. The Three Things That Fix Your Sales Outreach

  Jun 9, 202622 minS0

  <p>Recruitment has spent the last decade quietly talking itself out of selling. The story goes that recruitment is now a marketing job, that automation and AI can carry the load, that outreach is something you schedule rather than something you do. The result? A generation of consultants who have watched their sales capability erode without noticing it happen, hiding in the noise and calling it strategy.</p><p>Meanwhile, the market has gotten harder. Your prospects field over 240 unsolicited emails a day. Half the salespeople on the planet are behind target because, frankly, they can't sell, and they've made...

  48. The Antidote to Micromanagement

  Jun 2, 202621 minS0

  <p>The Great Abdication in recruitment right now is driven by weak management. Right now, "Treating People Like Adults" Is killing your performance culture.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, Jeremy Snell confronts one of the most shared, most repeated complaints in modern work: the dislike of being micromanaged. Scroll any feed and the articles are everywhere. Sit in enough interviews and you will hear it again and again, consultants explaining that they are looking for a new role because the last one micromanaged them.</p><p><br></p><p>Jeremy gets it.

  47. Career Catfishing and Why Companies Fail to Hire

  May 12, 202623 minS0

  <p>Talent teams see volume and call it abundance. Hiring managers feel powerless. Candidates are bruised into transactional behaviour. The result is a mirage - a hiring market that looks functional on the surface and breaks down at the point of placement.</p><p>In this episode, Jeremy unpacks why direct hiring is failing more often than internal teams admit, and what recruiters need to do about it. Volume has decoupled from quality. AI-enhanced CVs, AI-screened applications, and AI-written job specs are creating a feedback loop that hides real talent and surfaces look-alikes.</p><p>What you'll take away:</p>...

  46. The Lost Art of Headhunting

  May 5, 202623 minS0

  <p>Why most "headhunting" today isn't headhunting at all  and what to do instead.</p><p><br></p><p>Jeremy Snell unpacks the difference between true headhunting and the icky, mass-produced LinkedIn outreach that's come to wear the same name. Drawing on his executive search experience from the mid-90s (when headhunting was a telephone contact sport and being on the receiving end actually felt flattering), he makes the case that the craft hasn't died. It's just been buried under bad messaging, low response rates, and an over-reliance on people who've already decided to become candidates.</p><p>If you're a...

  45. How to Prevent Counter Offers

  Apr 28, 202623 minS0

  <p>Counter-Offers Are Rising. Here's Why You're Losing Candidates at Two Minutes to Midnight.</p><p>Counter-offer loss is climbing again - and it's not a money problem. It's an emotional one, dressed up as logic.</p><p>In this episode, I unpack why recruiters are bleeding placements at offer stage, and why the fix sits at the start of the process, not the end. We cover the three forces driving the spike: a volatile market making candidates anxious, employers fighting harder to retain productive people, and compromised processes creating buyer remorse before day one.</p><p>You'll learn:</p>...
