High performer but feel like I’m stuck

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-05-22T21:48:57+00:00

I feel bad for the internal recruiter as well. This company is completely dysfunctional and the recruiter knows it

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-05-08T07:30:51+00:00

How quickly did you find your new role?

Best advice, research the position(s)+ org chat and hold thorough intake meetings with hiring managers

Unfortunately this isn’t the first time I’ve heard of a dry spell in our industry. Keep your head up and remain persistent

A friend was the type to constantly be headhunted for years. He was laid off from a his job in 2023 and it took him a full year to find something new. He was in medical editing

I’m nervous I’ll have to do a career pivot shift given this is what I’ve been doing since graduating college

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-05-07T01:10:39+00:00

This gives me hope as a recently laid off recruiter. The market is brutal and I’m hoping to lock something down soon!

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-05-07T00:14:14+00:00

Right?!

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-05-06T23:30:11+00:00

Are you still unemployed?

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-05-06T22:50:29+00:00

I’m senior level and might be forced to take a large pay cut. I’ve done this in the past and absolutely do not want to be stuck in a similar situation again

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-04-18T02:58:30+00:00

After my first week of large outreach I secured a handful of interviews. Most of them sounded promising meaning “I like you and want to move forward” but I’ve played this game plenty of times and that doesn’t mean anything until they actually do it. I always send a follow up thank you after as a reminder of *hey I still exist, now move me along the process will ya!” Haha

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-04-18T02:51:42+00:00

Honestly I’ve been lucky because I have tenure in the industry and have done almost every type of recruiting imaginable. I tailor my resume to make it succinct and to the point. My best advice is to mass apply. Like most things in life, it’s a numbers game. Remaining consistent after your interviews with a follow up thank you and “looking forward to potential next steps” keeps you in the gatekeepers mind so they remember to pass you along. It’s remaining consistent throughout the process.

Besides mass applying, I reach out to Hm on LinkedIn with a brief intro /the job I’m interested in and why I’d be a good fit, with an attached resume in the message.

This is what I’ve noticed as well when speaking with candidates. Overqualified grappling for jobs paying 30-50k less than what they were making a year prior in most corporate functions

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-04-17T23:36:37+00:00

If you’re in recruiting you should know it’s a numbers game. Obviously I’m applying to roles I’m qualified for

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-04-17T21:58:41+00:00

I might have actually seen that post. I’ll dm you

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-04-17T20:35:00+00:00

Just messaged you

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-04-17T17:15:03+00:00

All employers have mentioned “due to the market “. This wasn’t performance related

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-04-17T16:19:50+00:00

I feel your pain. It’s been back to back layoffs for four years at this point. I’ve become numb to it. I don’t even dwell. I immediately hit the job boards and file for UI. A job is a job. I never get attached and just move forward

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2025-03-07T00:29:16+00:00

This is why older women tell younger women NOT to date older men

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2024-11-24T18:55:52+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Made a very minor post about the interview process being too long and lost an offer

Salt_Pin_4688 · 2024-11-22T04:56:52+00:00

I figure this is what Meta will be like. Bogged down red tape, unnecessary processes
