Thanks for stopping by “the ring” and checking out The Recruiting Rodeo 🐎 where I share actionable, high-level advice and insights from my front-row seat working as a recruiter in executive talent acquisition for the past 25 years.

Some of my content (like my first five Rodeos) will be free; some will live behind a paywall and available to paid subscribers only. A subscription is $10/month (approx. three large Dunkin’ Original Blends…) or $100 annually. There is also a “Founding Member” level that includes two hours of my time, by phone or video.

My free content explains the talent acquisition “basics,” the fundamentals, created to make candidates, job seekers, and talent acquisition professionals alike (those who do the hiring like HR and Recruiters), stronger, smarter.

My paid content will go into greater detail on such “ornery” topics as how to tell your story effectively on your resume and social media profile, when and how to talk about compensation along the interviewing process, and the best ways to prepare for the “ride🐎” that is the interview and hiring process. For people who work “on the inside,” the ones paid to find and hire candidates for busy executives, I’ll share my “best practices” and some 💡 on how to search for and find talent without being co-dependent on your Company’s AI-driven ATS (applicant tracking system).

Lastly, I’ll be interviewing industry, job function, and hiring leaders as well as candidates, to find out direct “From the Horse’s Mouth” — their POV on what they look for when hiring, how they came up in their careers, as well as their own job search challenges and frustrations. From sports to streaming, mobile to AI, D2C to brick and mortar retail, creatives to controllers, I’ll be leveraging the experts in my extraordinary network to help demystify a process few like nor understand.

Perhaps most important and the way my thought process works, I will always share the WHY. Break down things the average person never thinks about when initiating an active job search — and that many on a Company’s talent acquisition team or at the search firm level, don’t think about nor understand — when hiring.

For full access to The Recruiting Rodeo newsletter, publication archives, and more, I hope you will consider a paid monthly or annual subscription. I put a lot of thought and time into creating this information which I have “collected” and learned, from two decades of successful executive search and talent acquisition.

My goal is to make the talent acquisition process better for everyone involved — more humane, efficient, successful — FUN even! Knowledge is power.

I hope you will come along for the ride 🐎!
