“They look great but…” Those four words have lost companies some of the most talented people on the market. Just last week I had a hiring manager say these four words to me. “He looks great but…” “...he’s only got 4 years of experience, the job description says 5.” This hiring manager will no doubt spend the next 3 weeks trying to find the perfect candidate rather than the best candidate, which was definitely this candidate. Meanwhile, that perfect candidate will be taking the job with your competitor while you wait around. Should that one year of experience really be a deal breaker when everything else about this candidate is awesome? #recruiting #hiringmanager #acccounting #jobs

Hiring Manager: You expect to lead our team with only 3 years of experience? Candidate: Yes, I believe I am well-qualified. Your job listing mentions a requirement of 3-5 years team management. Hiring Manager: What makes you think you’re ready for a leadership role? Candidate: I’ve successfully managed multiple projects and led teams to meet critical deadlines and exceeded all my targets. Hiring Manager: But leadership requires more than technical skills. Candidate: I’ve also demonstrated strong communication and strategic planning abilities. Hiring Manager: We need someone who can hit the ground running. Candidate: That’s precisely why you reached out to me, right? Hiring Manager: You do have the skills we need… Candidate: So what makes you think I’m not ready for this role? Understanding the value of your experience and how to articulate your experience is crucial in job discussions. Stand firm in your capabilities and what you bring to the table and don’t let anyone rattle you. The right company will see your worth, while the wrong one will question it. Gone are the days of pushing on job candidates in interviews until they break — and no one needs to stand for that in the pursuit of a new role in their career. Choose wisely. 🚀📈 #Leadership #CareerAdvancement #KnowYourWorth #JobSearch #ProfessionalGrowth — If you like this post, support Preston Junger with a like!

Job reqs that focus on role experience are dumb. 😠 I'm saying this as a hiring manager. If we only hire people with experience, the amount of people in that role in the world cannot grow. Then how do we grow that industry? yet, most industries DO grow. so how we are ACTUALLY hiring does not match how we are TRYING to hire. #hiring managers are all drunk, aim for impossible qualifications, and then #recruiters struggle to "compromise". Hiring manages: Have you, yourself, ever gotten a job with no direct experience? (trick question! for everyone who works, the answer is yes) Step 1 is acceptance. then a good hiring manager will finally realize they AREN'T COMPROMISING when they get candidates without direct experience. ❌ people can do a job poorly. ❌ and people can do a job poorly for three years. 💀 direct experience has little direct value. anyone who has ended up hiring an "always-learner" with the right traits and passion (instead of years experience) knows which hire is better a year down the line. You won't lose out on performance. here's a thought experiment: Compete a team that cares... with a team that doesn't. see who wins. passion = performance. 😤 there. I said it. Hire for passion, not for experience. Sometimes industry top practices are not good practices. What would you do differently as a #hiringmanager?

As a hiring manager, I believe that a candidate's desire, passion, and willingness to learn are key indicators of success in a role. While skills can be taught, it's the heart that truly makes a difference. I am always willing to take a chance on a candidate who has the drive to learn and grow, because I know that they have the potential to make a real impact. #hiring #recruiting #talentacquisition
