Recruiter Roundtable - Part 2

from Awaiting Approval · host Adam Jennings, Tom Scott, Meg Rye, and Sam Gale

Over a thousand questions came in from the audience. Six recruiters came back. And within the first few minutes, Tom Scott, said what a lot of people in the industry are quietly thinking: we talk about it every single day, and it would be really nice not to for an hour. And so the panel voted to ban AI from the conversation.What followed was one of the most honest conversations this show has produced, about what the hiring market actually feels like right now, about money and how to talk about it, about nonlinear paths and how to make them work for you rather than against you, and about what it costs, personally and professionally, to do this job well. The panel is blunt, warm, occasionally funny, and very much on your side. Even when they're telling you something you might not want to hear.Full panel: Laura Baker, Meg Rye, Erica Fortgang, Same Gale, Tom Scott and Toby ThwaitesIf you’re feeling stuck, or just want to think out loud about where you’re headed, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
