I would reframe in a more consulting type answer—I call it the 4 Ps. Prestige, pedigree, pay, and power.

Recruiter will be amazed by the level of insight and framing.

Look up things they do specifically, public perception, values, etc and find something that resonates with you that is specific to them. Even if it’s something other places do too, align it to their verbiage.

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.
