Choke Point 2: Aligning with Recruiters — From Hidden to Hired
With over 30,000 recruitment businesses in the UK alone, the industry contributes £25bn to the economy, and a significant chunk of that revenue comes from sourcing talent globally. But for professionals unfamiliar with the recruitment landscape, this vast market can be a maze—especially if your job search has primarily relied on internal moves or existing contacts.
In fact, if you don’t understand how to navigate this space and align with the right recruiters, you could end up feeling invisible or frustrated—and in some cases, even experience “imposter syndrome” because your efforts don’t seem to yield the results you expect.
Research shows that 86% of recruiters won’t shortlist a candidate who simply clicks ‘Apply’—if they don’t already know them. And with tech driving much of the recruitment process, it’s no longer enough to hope for a chance. To stand out, you need to position yourself as the Most Placeable Candidate (MPC)—a standout professional in a sea of competition.
This workshop will give you the tools and strategies to align with the right recruiters, avoid the “numbers game” mindset, and turn frustration into results.
Delivered over three personalised 2-hour sessions, we’ll help you ensure recruiters see you as a top contender, not just another applicant.
