Think you know how recruiters work?

In this episode, I’m sharing 6 things we notice right away — and most candidates have no idea. Knowing these can help you approach your job search with more confidence, clarity, and strategy.

• What recruiters really look for in the first 10 seconds of your CV
• Why we always check your LinkedIn — even if your CV is great
• How tone and energy on the first call can make or break your chances
• Why friendly, personal messages often beat “perfect” ones
• What silence or delays really mean behind the scenes
• And why rejection often isn’t about your skills

This episode is for any expat who’s job hunting in the Netherlands or Europe, feeling stuck, and wondering how recruiters make decisions behind closed doors.
