Just curious. I was caught in a layoff as a Sr. Technical Sourcer for Semiconductors...looking to change it up to something else...any idea how to do this? I have been applying for positions; however, being turned down because I have mainly been in Semiconductors.

Strip down what you did before to basic skills. That helps a lot when trying to figure out what’s transferable. Take out the semiconductor part if that’s what is holding you back. Very easy to pigeonhole yourself into one niche out here.

Make sure your resume is less focused on the industry you’ve recruited in and more broadly as a technical recruiter. How were you instrumental? What processes/retention did you improve?

The job market is very rough right now which is likely why you haven't had any luck. I would try networking and try getting referrals. Sometimes a referral can help you get your foot in the door.

Your sourcing skills are highly transferable. I would reframe your experience around stakeholder management, market mapping, and talent strategy rather than industry. Target internal TA, workforce planning, or HR ops roles.

It’s hard at the minute which doesn’t help the situation, so a lot of people are in the same boat. I agree above, I would try looking for a referral, word of mouth can be pretty strong nowadays.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
