Recruiting is a Dead Career 🥴

I feel like Talent Acquisition is a slept on career. There’s so many different layers of this industry that can take you really where you want to be in life, and without a side hustle, business, or degree really.

Chris and I are both high school graduates 🎓 who never graduated from college. We tried but…yeah. We’re both California plants living in Kansas City now.

We’re fortunate enough to have found our careers in TA and we are killing the game as gay black men in these industries.

We are not your normal recruiters you talk to for positions. We’re not gonna bore you, lie to you, sugarcoat, or gatekeep; companies do that shit enough. That’s why we do so well.

WHAT I CAN HELP WITH:

I do a little public speaking for schools and corporate events and I’m always open to answer any questions about recruiting, job questions, interview tips, resume help, etc.

What I CANT help with:

Finding you a job unless it’s for what Chris or I recruit for.

I’ll always post positions and tips and tricks on finding jobs here on Lemon8🍋

... Read moreTalent Acquisition (TA) is often underestimated yet offers a wealth of opportunities for career growth and success. As the industry evolves, the demand for skilled recruiters is increasing across various sectors including healthcare and engineering. For instance, in healthcare, recruiters are navigating a landscape that includes positions such as Audiologists, Dentists, and Office Administration roles. The engineering sector, on the other hand, is in need of Civil Engineers, Architects, and Telecom Engineers among others. Recruiters play a crucial role in bridging the gap between candidates and employers, especially in states like Kansas and Florida. Despite their valuable contribution, recruiting can sometimes feel undervalued. However, individuals without a college degree can thrive in this field, showcasing that persistence and skill can outweigh formal education. Job seekers often seek guidance not only on applying for jobs but also on how to present themselves effectively during interviews. Providing interview tips, resume assistance, and networking strategies are critical services that recruiters can offer, enhancing the overall job-seeking experience. In addition, recruiters can share insights about estimated salaries to help candidates understand their worth. With the rise of digital platforms, recruiters are better positioned to share job openings and industry advice. They can also facilitate public speaking events to inspire future generations in these fields. By demystifying the recruitment process and making it more accessible, recruiters can contribute significantly to both candidate and employer satisfaction.
