Good Morning all,

Since I pivoted into TA (from the Wild West known as Finance) Tech Recruiting has always been the goal. But I’m having a hard time finding a way to get into that space (I do understand there’s a hiring crisis). Nevertheless, does anyone know of tech companies that are hiring? I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I second Meta… staffing agencies, especially those that focus on finance/ accounting roles, would be a great place to start out.

Is this working for a recruiting firm or within a company acting as an internal resource ?
Either way, whilst looking out for advertised jobs , I would also recommend that you take a more proactive approach to finding an entry point .

Steps :
Create a compelling CV that’s includes your achievements and successes to date in TA and in previous work - you will carry targets and KPIs in TA and so demonstrating that you can hit the ground running and bring immediate value by providing evidence of current and past success will be key
Research the geographies that are commutable for you and identify companies or recruitment firms that reside in these locations.
Identify the relevant director in each and reach out via an email that is personalised and bespoke to the company that you are approaching outlining your reasons for reaching out. This is effectively the cover letter that supports your attached CV
Follow up this activity with a call to the person to ensure receipt and explore any interest


This method won’t guarantee immediate success but it will fill the funnel with opportunities and leads that would have passed you buy and also demonstrates the type of person you are .
( When using this approach it is important that you don’t compromise your current employment as the world is small. Think carefully about how you can minimise this risk. There are ways )
Best of luck !

I’ve recently left my job (unhappy with it) and am applying for new work. I have a few irons in the fire at the moment. I’m curious about a trend I am seeing: I like to think I’ve well documented my abilities and functions in my CV, as well as my portfolio. I’ve noticed that for some of these jobs that I can check every single box in the job description, I won’t even get an interview. I’m wondering if many of these jobs are posted for internal hires, but some stay open for weeks. What gives?

Agency recruitment managers! How do y’all set goals for your department? Do you focus on outreach goals, applicant goals, purely hiring goals no matter the outreach numbers, conversion rates, etc?

Any insight would be so helpful!
