Why Don’t Recruiters Communicate Better?
A common complaint from executive and management job applicants is that they submit their resumes but never hear anything from a recruiter “even though I was qualified for the role.” Why?
Hello, I am John Self, a career strategist with 27 years of experience in global executive search.
Here is what you need to know:
- If your resume does not match at least 85 to 90 percent of the selection criteria, a recruiter will probably never see your resume.
- If you did not customize your resume using keywords and phrases from all facets of the job summary, there is a 95 percent chance the automated scanning system will eliminate your resume.
- Recruiters, both corporate staff as well as search firms, are notoriously bad communicators, but if the ATS scanner drops you, no one will know.

How to Ace a Job Interview
Jobs are won or lost at the interview table, but many managers and executives show up for critical interviews poorly prepared.
Hello, I am John Self, a veteran executive recruiter who helps supervisors, managers, and executives find their next better job.
Based on my 27 years of experience interviewing thousands of managers and executives, here are four pro tips to ace that next job interview.
- Understand your value. If you do not understand this, it will be impossible for your message, and your answers, to be on target.
- Do your homework. A deep dive, not just a review of the job summary and the position description. You must build a rich understanding of the challenges and the bosses’ objectives. You must ask the right questions in the screening interviews.
- Be calm and confident, not cocky. Tell the interviewer – educate them in a reassuring and knowledgeable tone about how you will address their problems, how you will lead the team, and how you will meet their expectations.
- Rehearse. You will be more self-aware.
