EPISODE TEASER
Right now, you're scrolling through Indeed, refreshing LinkedIn, checking company career pages for the tenth time today. You've applied to 47 jobs this month. Radio silence. Meanwhile, someone else just got hired for a role that was never posted online. They didn't compete with 250 other applicants. They didn't even apply. The company created the position specifically for them.
Here's what nobody's telling you: this is how 70% of hiring actually works in 2026. You've been playing a game where 70% of the prizes are in a room you didn't even know existed. Up to 70-80% of all job openings are never publicly advertised—they're filled through referrals, recruiter relationships, and internal networks long before they hit job boards.
In this video, I'm breaking down the hidden job market explosion of 2026, why the best opportunities don't have signs, and the exact strategies to access roles that were never meant to be found online. These are the same tactics my clients use to land offers at Microsoft, Google, Tesla, and Netflix—and they're backed by hard data.
If you're tired of applying into the void or watching opportunities pass you by, this is the job search playbook you need for 2026.
