People over systems. 💯

I don’t have any time for recruiters who find me by keyword search and don’t even what the keyword means or it’s context. 🤦‍♂️

PS: Are you running the London marathon?

Do hiring managers actually like using job portals to find candidates? As a job seeker, I've never liked them. Every company would have their "own" site, which is often just a career portal template, forcing me to enter the same info over and over again. It always ended up being a whole lot of work for a whole lot of nothing.

funny seeing words like - sending a fax, using Dice or Monster - all things I’ve used before. seems like forever ago

cannot agree more on the human element. which is why I always respond to recruiters who engage me on LinkedIn - even if the role isn’t for me (or I’m not even looking) perhaps I can introduce them to someone who is a good fit

I wish! Ran it in 2021 and we were treated to a beautiful, sunny race day.

Next up is Tokyo in March and then Boston in April.
