Recruiter Helping To Scale Teams That Need Technical and Non-Technical Talent in the Cloud, AI and Blockchain Space |
Standing out in your job search isn’t about you, it’s about them. Curiosity and empathy might be your most powerful tools. When you shift your mindset and think like the company you're applying to, everything changes. By understanding their needs and working backwards, you can show how you’re the solution to their problems. How can you practice this? Here are a few simple steps: 1. Research the company. Look into their website, recent news, and social media to understand their current goals, challenges, and culture. 2. Study the job description. Highlight the key skills and responsibilities they need. Think about how those connect to the company’s bigger goals. 3. Identify their pain points. Ask yourself: What problem does this role solve for the company? How does the company benefit from hiring someone in this position? 4. Frame your experience as solutions. Instead of just listing your past responsibilities, explain how what you’ve done in the past can solve the company's current problems. 5. Speak their language. Use words and phrases from the job description and company values to show that you understand what’s important to them. By thinking like your potential employer, you can position yourself as the person who brings value, not just a candidate looking for a job. And I promise there’s a big difference from a Recruiter and Hiring Managers perspective between these mentalities!
