They first turned me down but reached out about another role because they liked me so much.

A little more money than I make ($10k more) but a little less work, more stability and I have a few friends on the team already.

Its a tech sourcer role and not a recruiter which is a bit different. I wont do a lot of the admin work (reviewing and posting jobs, writing offer letters, herding hiring teams around, conducting reference checks, etc). I will just go out and find candidates that havent applied, get them to want to interview with us and then pass them to the recruiter who will finish out the rest.

Purely a headhunter and less of the extra stuff I was doing. Ive been so burnt out, this will be good for me.

This is great news. I remember the other topics talking about how toxic your current one is. Seems like a great move.

Thanks all. It is such a huge weight off my shoulders. I was thinking of transitioning to a sourcing role as well even before they brought it up. Ive been wanting a step back. Its a great job but more laid back and less room for growth but Im ok with that at this stage of my life with a toddler. I thought I could pursue being a manager and do it all as a mom, but I realized I cannot right now. Im drained and worn out.

Yeah its not an easy job. Its really sales. Cold reach outs to people who tend to hate recruiters and think were all dumb. Then pitch your company and the job for them, get them excited, get them to want to interview, etc. A lot of recruiters dont do it and just manage the application pools. Which in tech you dont get that many. Im actually really good at it though. More than half my hires right now are people I cold approached.

Yeah my friend there was telling me the work life balance there is amazing. Hardly any meetings passed 4 pm. Were expected to work 9-6 every day at my current job and always have late meetings and as a mom its a lot for me. Tons of holidays off, unlimited PTO (which Ive had everywhere tbh but nice they have it too) and no one cares how many hours you put in as long as the job gets done. They also cover fertility benefits so if I ever want to thaw some of my frozen embryos they would pay for the procedure.

Thanks! Its kind of cheating since I knew people on the team. When the role opened, my friend reached out but I was already at this new company so I said no. But after a few weeks of my boss being crazy, I contacted my friend back and said I was interested. Got interviews right away.

Its crazy because they had over 1,000 people apply because of all the recruiters who have been laid off. I feel a bit guilty that I got moved up the front of the line for knowing someone. But thats the name of the game right now sadly. The other person who got the first role is actually someone else I know who knew people there too.

Hahaha amaaazing. But I hear they sometimes prefer it like that cause it guarantees that the new hire is the right fit for the team culture wise.

more money for less work and less responsibility? sounds awesome lol.

so what does getting potential applicants to want to interview entail, anyway? taking them to Outback for a blooming onion? i'm basing this guess completely on knowledge gained from The Office.

Yes. Referrals always get priority. And both me and the other person they hired had several people who could back that they knew us, worked with us and that we were good. But we still had to pass all the interviews like everyone else and the interviewers didnt know us.

Right?? Im ready for it.

Lol back in the day before LinkedIn, yeah that was it. Wine and dine people and stuff. Now its inmails and email campaigns. I run Boolean searches on LinkedIn and cold message people who fit the job. Get them on the phone and hype up the job. A lot of recruiters spray and pray to get more responses though and message everyone they can because one keyword showed up but the person isnt a fit at all. So a lot of people think were dumb and dont know what were doing. I have a technical background though so I always message people who are a good fit. Its one of the things all my hiring managers have said about they love about me. I will find exactly what they ask for.

This makes it a bigger congratulations from me. Always make sure your work life balance is strong and leans in favor of the home. The past several decades where this mindset of mindless hours of sacrifice to move ahead in a job or career path needs to die. I get it's sometimes necessary, but having employees who are also happy with the home/work life balance is another way to get strong productive employees who also WANT to work for you. I know personally I have always worked better / happier and harder for a job that I felt valued me not only as an employee but also a human being as well.

Big congratulations again TC!!!!!
