Hello! I recently applied for a Travel Procurement Senior Manager role at PwC (role is in NYC and I’m not NYC-based but I believe certain roles can be primarily remote). I have 5+ years of experience in this field and the description/company culture seem like a perfect match to what I’m looking for. Are there any fish from PwC and/or their talent acquisition team that can provide a reference post-submission and insight on the hiring process? Thanks!!

Plenty of times unfortunately . If you don’t already have market data to hand to show the client that what they are looking for may not exist then the first stage is to carry out a thorough search and map out target companies and approach and speak to identified candidates. The output from these conversations should produce live market data that you can then share with the client . The client should now be more receptive to finding areas of the spec where a compromise needs to be made to increase the pool. Good luck !
Life of a recruiter! Yes, pull data & screen instead of screening out candidates. Schedule a recruiting hour with the hiring manager, set up a LinkedIn search & go through it together.
What are the requirements? I’m curious
Get on a video call with them and live source some candidates on LinkedIn (you’ll show them with data the pool is small). If you find a profile they like, through it into the “ideal candidate - find more candidates like this” filter. Showing them what is actually available in the wild will help set their expectations.
If it’s tech, I’d then get onto medium, Twitter, stackoverflow, Reddit, ect to start finding a diamond in the rough to show the HM if I can reel them in.
Then, if I can’t get them / anyone we find meets their reset expectations. If I can reel something incredible, it feels 10x as good.
Thrill of the chase with an exit plan 😉
