Hiring for potential doesn’t mean ignoring skill gaps—it means identifying what can be learned on the job vs. what’s a non-negotiable. The Secret? Separate "must-have" skills from "teachable" ones: 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 are core competencies essential to perform the role. 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 are things that can be acquired with time + training. In accounting, think of a skill like understanding revenue recognition as a must-have, but proficiency with specific accounting software as a teachable skill. By being a little more flexible on those teachable skills, you can expand your candidate pool and uncover some hidden 💎 ready to grow with your company. 👇 Take a peek below for specific examples of must-haves vs. teachable skills. #HiringHacks #RecruitingTips #BeyondtheResume

If you've ever passed on a candidate because their resume didn’t tick every box, this is for you: hire for potential. Hiring for potential, rather than solely for experience, is a game-changing approach that can build a more dynamic, versatile, and high-performing team. By focusing on growth mindset, adaptability, and cultural fit, you’re choosing candidates who will grow with your organization—not just fill a role. Why do we preach potential at Landing Point? Because potential brings qualities that can drive long-term success for your team: ✅ 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Candidates with potential adapt easily to new roles and challenges. ✅ 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆: Fresh perspectives lead to more innovative solutions. ✅ 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Add new strengths to your team’s capabilities. ✅ 𝗥𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: High-potential candidates catch up fast and are eager to grow. ✅ 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: They’re driven by challenges and bounce back from setbacks quickly. Stay tuned for more tips on hiring for potential in our #beyondtheresume series each week! #recruitingtips #hiringhacks

Q4 is upon us, which means many companies are beginning to assess their talent needs and refine their hiring strategies for 2025. With that in mind, we sat down with a few of our recruitment leaders to share their best advice for improving the hiring process. Today's tip is from Michael J. Breslin, a Landing Point Co-Founder holding down the fort in our Boston office. “Check in with your new hire between acceptance and start date. Great candidates usually go through a counteroffer process with their current firm, and other companies may come out of the woodwork if they hear of someone great making a job change. A simple phone call or meal (preferably from the hiring manager, not just HR) can make this transition run smoothly, and also sets a good communication tone for the team up front.” #hiringtips #recruiting

👏 Thanks Stuart Coleman for this great insight on resume formatting!
The Goldilocks Effect - Getting your resume just right One of the biggest stressors in a job search is your resume. · Is it too long, too short, too much detail, too little? · Should you have bullets of duties or paragraph style? · Should you list all the money saved, efficiencies gained, projects completed? · Should you just pay someone? · What about the style, do I want it to be the prettiest one at the dance? · What about the ATS? If you ask five different people you’ll get five different answers. Everyone has an opinion, here are mine. Length – All depends on how long you have been working. I’ve seen recent grads and 20-year people with two-page resumes. Probably too much for the former but might be just right for the latter as long as we aren’t leaving off important details. Anyone with any real experience shouldn’t be trying to jam it into one page. Bullets or a Paragraph – I basically wrote a novella for each of my roles. I wouldn’t advise that but for me, it was the only way to truly convey my experience. Bullets are still the way to go so that you can highlight the different areas of your job. Personally, I like a little summary at the top of each job before the listing of bullets to explain the company, the position, or how you fit into the role and added value to the organization. Which leads to Accomplishments. If there are areas where you had a significant impact, list them. Growth, cost savings, efficiencies, revenue generation, major projects, or navigation through difficult situations. My one cautionary statement is to be judicious. If you start listing that you would circle the block to find on-street parking versus using a garage to save the company money, you have gone too far. Resume Services? I’m not opposed. For the most part, there is probably someone in your life (hopefully a good recruiter) who can help you with this. But if you are too busy, your experience is complicated, your resume is a hot mess, or you just don’t know where to begin, a resume service is a great idea. (BTW – I know a couple of people depending on your need) Style – Some resumes are works of art, but unless you are in a creative field I don’t know how necessary that is. Conversely, if you are in a creative field your resume better be eye-catching. But, and here’s the rub, we have to work with the robot overlords. So much of recruiting and applying for jobs these days has to do with the ATS (Applicant Tracking System). These systems will parse your resume, autofill mandatory fields, and cross reference against the requirements of a position to determine a fit. If your resume is unconventional, the ATS may not be able to capture the requisite information. You may be perfect for a role, but it won’t know it. As far as style is concerned, boring might be better. Again, much of this is subjective and I would love if others could chime in here. We are here to help.

As the asset management industry evolves, Rene Letendre and Katherine K. Dwyer are seeing several emerging hiring trends that reflect the shifting needs of firms and the talent pool: #𝟭: 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗼𝗹𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 Many firms are embarking on full-scale team buildouts in private wealth and insurance sectors, which underscores the market’s focus on investor-specific approaches rather than generalist fundraising models. #𝟮: 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗹𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 & 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 Product specialists, especially in the credit space, are in high demand. The most successful distribution teams allow product specialists to shine in the fundraising process, bridging the gap between product knowledge and client engagement. #𝟯: 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀 At the Managing Director level, we’re seeing candidates gravitate toward smaller firms where they can take on broader responsibilities and strategic roles with a player-coach mentality, driving growth from the ground up. 👇 For more insight, check out the comments below for the full article. #hiringtrends #assetmanagement #productspecialists #investorrelations
