This week Steph is sitting down with Corker’s own professional connector and Head of Recruitment, Lana Bradshaw, to riff on a hot topic right now which is the current landscape of recruitment and the job market. Our inbox has been flooded with messages from candidates, fellow recruiters and founders who are all feeling a sort of trepidation with the job market but have no fear Lana is here to put our minds at ease and maybe even insert some positivity and hope while you tread the waters of the job and candidate search this summer!

In this episode Steph and Lana dive into best practices for job searching this summer, leaning into opportunity over fear, current trends away from remote work, how you can network during the summer months, how to wrestle with uncertainty in the job search and she even lets us in on what she is packing in her picnic basket this summer. And we are taking notes. Most importantly Lana reminds us that we are all humans and work is just a part of what we do as humans, so lets try not get caught in the fear spiral and maybe even find some joy in the job search, while we also enjoy the simple pleasures of summer of course;) Enjoy this episode friends!
