Recruiting is big business ($10B) and that’s just at the executive level.
They don’t work for you, they work for their clients and it’s hard.
I know, I lived it.
Today’s recruiters are busier and pickier than ever.
They're not looking at your resume. They're looking through you.
Bottom-First Screening: While you obsess over that job title, elite recruiters scroll directly to your volunteer work and recommendations. This is where they spot the difference between performers and pretenders.
The $10K Truth Bomb "If I handed you $10,000 for development right now, where would it go?" Hesitate? You're done. Your immediate answer reveals what you know you lack — and whether you're brave enough to admit it.
ARU: The Invisible Scorecard Appreciation. Respect. Understanding. Leaders who master this trinity don't chase loyalty — it hunts them down.
No Scars = No Chance Perfect candidates terrify top recruiters. They want someone who's been burned to ashes and rebuilt themselves. Battle-tested. Not bubble-wrapped.
Team Credit = Instant Credibility The moment you say "I" instead of "we" when describing victories, you've exposed yourself as a corner-office liability.
Name The Bloody Moose: Address your "flaws" before they do. Age concerns? Throw it on the table first and reframe it as the seasoned judgment they desperately need.
