Episode 74: Recruiting Marketers
Attention job hunters! We have both reviewed (probably) thousands of applications and interviewed lots of wonderful (and some not-so-wonderful) candidates in our careers. So in this episode, we cover the stuff that gets our pulses racing to meet you now, and the stuff that perhaps makes us take a hard pass, including:- Making the most of the 15-30 seconds you get of the recruiter's attention.- To cover letter or not to cover letter (and what to put in said cover letter).- The initial red flags 🚩 that automatically make us click the "disqualify" button.- Generalists vs Specialists and the importance of telling us what you're gonna bring to the table. HOT TIP: track your numbers NOW so you have them when you need them LATER. And 👏 so 👏 much 👏 more! Available wherever you listen to podcasts 🎧. ARE YOU HIRING? Adding this blurb to the end of our job ads helped increase the diversity and range of skills of our applicants, so maybe it can help you, too! Don't meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single requirement outlined in the job description. Here at [company name], we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workspace, so if you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be the right candidate for this or other roles!
