The Importance of Personal Projects as a Candidate: Kate O’Shea on The Process of Recruitment | EP10

16+ years of experience in recruiting for digital marketers and performance marketers (paid media).

That’s the reason why I wanted to have Kate O'Shea on the podcast - it always fascinates me what happens during the end-to-end process of recruitment and what makes a candidate stand out. That’s just one of the many high-impact conversations we had, and now it’s available for you.

In episode 10, we discuss:

✅ What the market is like in 2024, and how it compares to last year and how it may be in the 2025/the future ✅ Why Q1 of the year tends to be a great time to change roles and look for new opportunities ✅ Red flags you do during your screening process that turn recruiters off ✅ Why having personal projects outside of your main day job is a must for standing out in a pile of CVs (hey, I’ve preaching this since day one) ✅ Why it is important to be transparent and to be clear from both the employer's and candidate's perspective

Please do enjoy the podcast 🙏
