Why Recruitment is Broken (And How to Take Control of Your Job Search)

It boils my blood.

I just saw another job seeker’s post—out of work for months and preparing to be evicted.

Why? Because the recruitment process is broken.

• Recruitment processes are slow and lack transparency.

• Salaries are labeled as “competitive” (read: unclear).

• Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are beefed up to filter candidates, yet somehow hiring still takes forever.

And the worst part? Job seekers are left to navigate this mess with no real training or support.

The Problem: Misinformation and Lack of Training

Most applicants are doing their best, but they’re not equipped with the tools they need to succeed.

• Stacey in accounts tells you to include your GCSEs on your CV—even though you’re 42 years old.

• Dave at Tesco wants to see your full career history—not because it’s relevant, but to figure out your age.

• A recruiter at an agency gives you feedback that’s either generic or flat-out wrong.

And you trust them, because who else is there to guide you?

You’re delivering what you think is a good CV.You’re giving what you think is a good interview.

But no one told you it wasn’t.

The Harsh Reality

You’ve had six first-round interviews and no offers.

The feedback? “You were pipped at the post.” Or “The other candidate had industry experience.”

What a load of boll0cks.

The truth is, your interview game is OFF. You’re not performing at the level you need to be. Not because you’re not capable, but because you haven’t been trained to navigate this broken system.

How I Can Help

Within 3 months, 70% of my clients have jobs. Some even land roles within 2 weeks (check my recommendations for proof).

Here’s why:

• I have 20+ years of recruitment and training experience.

• I’ve managed operational teams, delivered feedback, promoted many, and yes, let a few go.

• I’ve interviewed thousands of people and reviewed tens of thousands of CVs.

I’ve seen real feedback—the kind that hurts, the kind that matters, and the kind that actually helps you improve.

Why You Need Support

Recruitment is broken, yes. But you also need the skills to navigate it.

You can’t rely on Raj in the recruitment team, whose previous job was at B&M on Saturdays. You need someone who knows the system inside out.

You need someone who can:

• Help you create a CV that stands out to both humans and ATS.

• Teach you how to deliver an interview performance that gets you noticed.

• Support you in navigating this broken system with confidence and strategy.
