Reach HR Directors Who Actually Make Hiring Decisions
You're tired of talking to recruiters who have to "run it up the chain." You want to reach the person who can actually say yes—the HR Director, VP of Talent Acquisition, or Head of Recruiting who makes the final call.
Here's how to reach them directly.
Sound Familiar?
Dealing with layers of approval is exhausting.
Recruiters say 'I'll pass this along'
You talk to a recruiter. They like you. Then they say they need to 'check with the hiring manager' and you never hear back.
No decision-making power
Recruiters screen you, but they don't make the final call. You're stuck waiting for someone else to approve.
Too many layers
You want to talk to the person who decides if you get hired. But you're three people removed from them.
Lost in translation
Your value gets diluted when a recruiter explains your background to the hiring manager. You need direct access.
"I spent weeks going back and forth with a junior recruiter. Finally emailed the VP of Talent directly on LinkedIn. She set up an interview the next day. Turns out the recruiter had been dragging their feet. Sometimes you just need to go to the top."
