Frequently Asked Questions
What do recruiters actually look for?
Recruiters look for pre-vetted fit - someone who already has the relationships, the social proof, and the track record of impact. They're not screening resumes; they're confirming a decision the hiring manager already made. The goal is to be that decision before the search starts.
How do I apply this to my own job search?
Start by auditing your visibility: does your LinkedIn profile make it obvious why you're the right hire, or does it read like a job description? Then map your relationships - who in your target companies already knows your name? The Hireability Gap closes when you build presence before you need the role, not after.
Who is this for?
Senior professionals - directors, VPs, and executives with 10+ years of experience - who are qualified for the roles they want but can't seem to break through. The problem is rarely qualifications. It's visibility and positioning.
