Ep. 21 | Into the Mind of a Recruiter (feat. Richard Chen)

One of the first steps people take on their journey towards their dream job is talking to a recruiter. However... most people have no idea how to do this! In order to properly work with a recruiter, it's important that you first understand how a recruiter thinks. What motivates them? Why do they do what they do? What can you do during your interaction with them that will help land you that job? In today's podcast, we sit down with former-recruiter and co-founder of Product Gym, Richard Chen, and explore what the life of a recruiter is really like. Topics to be discussed include entering the product space without a formal title, how to properly work with a recruiter and how to stand up for yourself as a job candidate. Our Speaker: Richard Chen Richard is the co-founder of Product Gym, a recruiter-founded company whose goal is to be a community for aspiring product managers and a place where they can network, be coached and collaborate to achieve their dream career. He advocates strongly for the letting go of negative energy, staying humble and bringing enthusiasm into everything you do. We are proud to introduce Richard Chen.
