What Recruiters Really Look for and Why Qualified Candidates Get Overlooked
You have the experience. You are qualified. So why are you not getting the call?
In this episode of the Career Intelligence Podcast, I sit down with Josh Jones, a recruiter with Vaco who works with candidates and hiring managers every day. Josh shares a firsthand perspective on what recruiters are actually looking for when your resume lands on their desk, why qualified candidates sometimes get overlooked, and what can help you stand out throughout the hiring process.
In this episode you will learn:
Why using one resume for every application is one of the biggest mistakes you can make
Why the context behind your experience matters as much as your accomplishments
How to use AI to strengthen your resume without it working against you
How strategically using references can help reinforce your credibility
What it actually takes to show up and deliver in the interview
