Navigating Post-PhD Job Opportunities
Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out to the professional recruiters and talent acquisition specialists for some guidance. I’m currently based in Denmark and completed my PhD in organizational behavior in December 2021. While I’m still engaged in research and teaching at the university, I also bring about six years of industry experience in HR and recruitment from my pre-PhD career.
I’m eager to transition back into an HR-related role within the industry. I’m open to starting in a support position, as my goal is to grow and evolve within an organization. Despite applying for various roles over the past year, responses have been minimal. It seems that I may be struggling to demonstrate my value due to the absence of recent practical experience, and companies may be unsure how to leverage my PhD and research background.
I would greatly appreciate any tips or strategies to help me secure interviews. Do recruiters prioritize motivational letters in their assessments these days? Is it advisable to reach out with unsolicited applications?
Thank you in advance for any insights you can share!
Is internal recruitment on the decline?
I’m considering transitioning from agency recruitment to an internal role, but I’ve heard that the internal recruitment market is struggling. What’s the reason behind this? Am I making a big mistake?
To provide some context, the company I’m joining is expanding and has created a new position within their recruitment team that I’ll be stepping into.
Temporary Placements and Metrics from My First 9 Months
I work at a temp agency in Ireland specializing in construction. In my first nine months, I’ve successfully placed 85 temporary workers and secured 2 permanent positions. Is this figure typical for someone in their initial nine months in temporary placements? I come from a background in permanent positions within the same industry.
Am I Just the “Plan B”?
I’m looking for insights from seasoned recruiters.
I applied for a position over a month ago and received a call from the internal recruiter, who stated that my skills and experience were a perfect fit for the role.
Here’s a breakdown of the interview process I went through:
First Interview: I spoke with a junior manager and an HR rep. I felt it went reasonably well.
Online Assessment: I believe I didn’t perform as well as I hoped.
Second Interview: I met with the hiring manager and again felt it went decently.
After these steps, I experienced a week of silence. Initially, it was supposed to be a two-stage interview process, but the recruiter then informed me they wanted to schedule an informal chat with the director instead. When I asked if any other candidates had reached this stage, the recruiter confirmed that none had.
The chat with the director lasted about 10 minutes. He asked me general questions related to the role, and while I felt I did OK, I think I could have done better.
After three days of silence, I reached out to the recruiter, who called back to explain that they were finalizing details and that he would be handing off the process to his team while he went on leave.
Now that the long holiday weekend has ended, I’ve still received no updates, and I’m starting to feel anxious. I can’t shake the thought that I might just be a backup option in case their preferred candidate declines the offer. Is this a common practice in the industry? How likely is it that I’m in this situation?
Thanks for your thoughts!
How to Maintain Your Recruiting Business During Market Fluctuations
Navigating the ups and downs of the market can be challenging for recruiting firms, as hiring trends often fluctuate in response to economic conditions. While there are numerous discussions in this forum about which sectors are thriving or struggling, I’m looking for strategies to sustain a recruiting agency during lean times.
Given that both talent availability and client needs can be unpredictable and beyond your control, how do you keep your business resilient?
Do you diversify across multiple industries? How do you save effectively during boom periods to prepare for potential dry spells? What methods do you employ to ensure you don’t end up with an empty pipeline? Are there specific strategies you use to plan for these cyclical changes in demand?

Will a recruitment agency reveal my job application?
Hi everyone, I have a question. I accidentally applied for a job through the recruitment agency that my current boss uses. I’m concerned—will they inform my boss about my application? Is there an expectation of confidentiality with these agencies?
Streamlining Resume Review with AI
Hello everyone!
Recently, our team has been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of resumes we receive for each open position on platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed. The process has become incredibly time-consuming for our small group, and outsourcing has proven to be quite costly. Since we work in the AI field, we decided to create an in-house tool utilizing the OpenAI API to help us tackle this challenge.
Our tool is quite straightforward: we begin by uploading a job description, which GPT analyzes to generate specific criteria. Next, we upload the resumes, allowing GPT to evaluate and score them based on those criteria. We then compile a total score that assists us in creating a shortlist of candidates.
So far, this approach has been extremely helpful, especially with GPT’s ability to provide concise summaries of candidates, which has given us the idea to potentially launch this as a standalone side project.
We’re excited to announce that it will be ready for public use soon! I’d love to hear if anyone else would find such a tool beneficial.
Would it be alright to share it here once it’s launched?
