For When The Unicorns Aren’t Applying
Real-World Recruiting Truths, Tactics & Tales from the Search Frontlines

Because being a recruiter means juggling hiring manager expectations, vague feedback, moving targets, and impossible timelines, while somehow still delivering amazing candidates.

If you've ever whispered “what are we even doing here?” after another round of rejected resumes, this book is for you.

This isn’t another how-to book.
It’s a smart, practical, and totally relatable collection of real recruiter moments, clever strategies, and mindset resets that will help you:

• Tame the wildest hiring manager without losing your mind (or your metrics)
• Subtly rewire how your hiring managers think—without them even realizing it
• Ask the questions you wish you’d asked 3 searches ago
• Cut time-to-fill, improve quality of hire, and make yourself indispensable
• Feel seen, validated, and re-energized as a recruiter

Written by a seasoned recruiting leader who’s been in the trenches for more years than I want to see in print, this book offers not just empathy but actual scripts, strategies worth trying, and the kind of truth-telling no one puts in the onboarding handbook.

Whether you're running solo or leading a team, this is the book you’ll turn to again and again when you’re stuck, fed up, or just need a dose of “you’re not crazy—this really is what recruiting is like.”
