"My network, which I'm always expanding, is where I look first when filling a role. I know the companies to look for, and I know the people to reach out to and the titles to search for."
"A lot of the jobs we fill are very niche, like a director of operations who will manage a portfolio of 10 conferences a year ranging from smaller intimate summits up to a 20,000-person trade show."
"We don't automate job descriptions. We write those ourselves, or typically, a client will have one in mind. I also don't use AI to filter through candidates."
"There are people posting jobs who don't know the industry, leading to job postings with unreasonable expectations. This complicates the hiring process."
Candr Talent specializes in placing candidates in niche roles within sales, marketing, operations, and production for trade show and conference companies. Matt Raisner emphasizes the importance of personal networks and tailored searches over AI in recruitment. He notes that many job postings suffer from unrealistic expectations due to a lack of industry knowledge among those creating them. The influx of applicants complicates the hiring process, making it essential to find candidates with specific experience for specialized roles.
