Secrets of a CRA Recruiter ·

2026/04/07

Are You Settling In or Setting Yourself Up? Starting a new job can feel exciting, a little intimidating, and if we are being honest, a bit like you are trying not to trip in front of everybody. You have the laptop, the logins, the introductions, and the strong desire to do a good job. But somewhere between being “the new person” and trying to prove yourself, a lot of professionals slip into a dangerous little habit called settling in during their first 90 days in a new role. That is exactly w...

Secrets of a CRA Recruiter ·

2026/03/19

Most job seekers obsess over their LinkedIn headline and About section, but then quietly ignore everything else. Yet these “other” LinkedIn sections are often where recruiters find the proof they need to move you from “maybe” to “must-interview”. In this new roundtable episode, our recruiting team wraps up our LinkedIn optimization series by zooming in on the parts of your profile that rarely get talked about: Featured, Recommendations, Licenses & Certifications, and Education. These aren...

Secrets of a CRA Recruiter ·

2026/03/05

Most job seekers treat the LinkedIn Experience section like a form to fill out: titles, dates, and a few “responsible for…” bullets. But what if that section is actually one of the most powerful levers you have for both the machine and the humans deciding your next opportunity? In our latest roundtable, our recruiting team breaks down how to turn your Experience section into proof of value that works double-duty. It feeds LinkedIn’s 360Brew algorithm with clear, consistent signals, and it giv...

Your “perfect” LinkedIn profile still isn’t attracting opportunities. Why not? Brace yourself because I am going to tell you that you should be putting out LinkedIn Posts.

Why Your LinkedIn Headline Matters

Secrets of a CRA Recruiter ·

Job Seeker LinkedIn Banner Crimes

Secrets of a CRA Recruiter ·

2026/02/03

Your LinkedIn banner…is it a quiet killer or career supercharger? In just 3 seconds, it can make or break a recruiter’s first impression of you. Today’s roundtable is about avoiding banner disasters that send great candidates straight to the “nope” pile. Picture this: a hiring manager scrolls on mobile, your headshot pops, and the headline teases your value. But then the banner hits. Cluttered logos screaming “CRA, disrupter, auditor, consultant”? A vacation beach shot with your dog? An offen...

What if the secret to interview success was hidden in a quick, 60-second conversation? This week’s roundtable explores how mastering your elevator pitch can completely transform how well you interview. But what the heck is an Elevator Pitch?
