We’ve all been there…
✨ What if I never hear back?
✨ What if I’ve been out of work too long?
✨ What if I’m not good enough for what I want?
But here’s the truth:
What if it all works out even better than you imagined?
Every “what if” has two sides.
One feeds your fear.
The other fuels your faith. 🔥
Let this be your reminder to keep going.
You’re not behind — you’re becoming.

Hiring today feels harder than ever—for both candidates and employers. Job ads are too long, overly demanding, and often lack transparency. Applications are rejected by algorithms, leaving good candidates overlooked and frustrated. and the whole process feels less human and more frustrating.

I know this topic resonates deeply with so many of you -as it does with me.

This is at the heart of our hashtag approach.

Thank you, Lindsay Dodgson for highlighting it, including me in this Business Insider article, and sharing so many important POVs on the issue.

As we hire in 2025, some guiding reminders:
✅ Write clear, inclusive, and honest job descriptions.
✅ Use AI to assist, not replace, the human touch.
✅ And most importantly, hiring isn’t just a transaction—it’s about building connections, trust, and shared goals.

Job ads have been getting too lengthy and have long lacked salary details. Hiring managers are being inundated with applications thanks to AI. The situation is untenable and something needs to change, hiring experts say.

Check out this Fast Company article about how to spot 'em!

Grateful to be included in this one!

Most recruiters admit that they post ads for jobs that either don’t exist or are already filled. Here’s why it happens.

Grateful to be featured in this Fast Company piece!

“Oftentimes, candidates scan job descriptions and only hone in on the things that may disqualify them from the role before they have actually applied,” Frank says. “In this competitive market, candidates should leave no stones unturned. If they are truly interested in a role or company and their compensation or level isn’t drastically different from what is listed, they should throw their hat in the ring.”

Recruiters say companies sometimes have the flexibility to pay more for exceptional candidates. Here's their advice.
