- build real relationships with recruiters instead of treating hiring as purely transactional
- a good recruiting partner should push back and explain their reasoning, not just nod along
- virtual meetings are fine but face to face or video still matters most early in a relationship
- be honest about expectations and capabilities on both the candidate and client side
- the job market is moving fast so slow down, think through your plan, and avoid chasing money blindly
