Unposted jobs

like

Unposted openings, CONFIDENTIAL exploration of market or firms, direct lines of communication to leadership / decision makers at firms, intimate knowledge of a market (in demand practice areas, firms that are growing / losing people, info on culture, tough partners, upcoming partner moves that haven't been announced, etc), compensation / bonus knowledge, interview prep, resume / deal sheet help, management of process, real feedback after interviews, offer negotiation and advice, long term source of market intel, access to a wide network of connections across firms and in house, developed relationships with partners and practice leaders, and I could keep going.

One of the biggest benefits is that we can say things to firms / partners that you shouldn't / couldn't / wouldn't say. We also can walk a candidate off the ledge if they are unknowingly doing something that is going to hurt their image, chances, or leverage. All for free.

If a recruiter's only value is that they can tell you about posted openings, then they aren't a recruiter you should be using.

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.
