Any advice on direct contacting hiring managers for a job you want? I get that in theory it’s the same as selling anything but for people who’ve done it before what did you do, and how did it work out?

As an in-house recruiter I take notice to candidates who care enough to do that. It’s a competitive market out there for employees. Standing out and showing persistence and resilience can be attractive.

Recently I had a candidate call, text and email me after I merely spoke with him over the phone. I finally said to myself, “ok, I gotta meet this kid...”.

If your persistence doesn’t stand out to a hiring manager/recruiter, that recruiter is out of tune with what matters.

Maybe I’m out of line for saying that, but persistence and resiliency matter. Failure is possibly the most important part of succeeding in life, and a person who sees it as a mere obstacle should stand out.

Yes hit them up on LinkedIn and ask for a meet? It’s worked for ten people I know!!! You got this. I send LinkedIn emails to VP of sales!! Then call.

Try it!! If not call me 7738922824 I am great at that stuff. Not too many other things but that for sure. Lol

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation.

I am considering an offer for an AE role (UK-LDN) where the base is £42k & OTE is £70k. The Regional GM has verbally promised to move it up to £50k base if I perform well during the probationary period, but I can’t have it in writing on the contract. I’ve tried to counter offer but they said I’m currently maxing the salary band (L4). This role is exciting as I’d be the first UK employee, doing the full sales cycle & more but I had the same base and ote as an SDR. Is it too low? Do I take it?
