112: Tactical Tuesday – Good Riddance, Post & Pray Recruitment ft. Vivien Maron

We’re joined by our resident Tactical Tuesday expert, Vivien, to discuss the challenges of sourcing candidates for job postings, especially for smaller companies.

This conversation highlights the importance of proactively reaching out to passive candidates and understanding their motivations and desires, building a relationship so that when the time (and role) is right, you’ve got the rapport to make big things happen. We also dive into the importance of understanding how candidates present themselves — and adjusting job postings accordingly. If you’ve ever had questions about how to ditch post & pray for good, you’ve come to the right place!
