I’m in marketing so I don’t recruit, silly!

Even though I don't have any direct recruiting experience, I've previously spent almost 2 years leading marketing for a company that sold hiring software.

My most recent role was helping to grow Trend, an influencer marketing platform from 6 paying customers to 400 in less than a year!

One of the best things you can do when you're interviewing? Send a thank you note after your interview! It's something that's easy but so often missed!

A good thank you note thanks the interviewer, restates why you're interested in the role, and why you think you'd be a good fit! Keep it short though - 3-5 sentences max!

Strict qualifications for a role can actually do more harm to your candidate pipeline than good. While it's important to have filters to weed out bad applicants, be willing to be a little flexible when you get applications that might not match all of the qualifications.

You might just make your best next hire because of it!
