Hey everyone!

I just started a new job in TA. For the first time in a long time I won't be looking for tech profiles but mainly B2B Sales and Sales Management.

As I start my sourcing, I feel that I have more difficulties finding profiles in sales than I had in tech.

Did anyone else experienced the same thing while transitioning from tech to sales positions?

Thanks in advance!

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable.

Hi. I’m relatively new to recruiting and my role is primarily in supporting recruiters.

Is this lack of responsiveness indicative of company culture or more about the culture of recruiting, since they receive so many emails? Thoughts? I’ve not experienced this rate of responsiveness in any organization I’ve worked for. I am beginning to take it personally.
