When I meet with businesses to talk about their hiring challenges, the conversation often starts with the same list of frustrations:

• Not enough candidates applying

• Poor quality of applicants

• Interview no-shows

• Temps not turning up for shifts

• Candidates turning up unprepared or unaware of the role

• Skill shortages due to an aging workforce

• Vacancies taking too long to fill

• Poor communication from recruitment partners

These are common, real-world issues — but they’re not the actual problems. They’re symptoms. Treating the symptom won’t cure the cause.

The real challenges sit just below the surface:

Lack of Engagement
Candidates aren’t engaged. They’re not emotionally invested or genuinely interested in the opportunity. If a role feels like "just another job", they’re far less likely to show up — let alone perform.

Noise
It's a noisy market. Candidates are bombarded with doom-and-gloom headlines, multiple job ads, and recruiters from every industry fighting for attention. Standing out has never been harder.

Sameness
From a candidate’s perspective, too many roles look and sound the same. If your job offer blends in with every other one, why would it grab their attention?

This is where I come in.

I help employers address the root causes of their recruitment challenges — not just put a plaster on the symptoms. By shifting the focus to engagement, differentiation, and cutting through the noise, we help businesses attract the right people, for the right reasons, in a way that lasts.
