Even the most accomplished executives can feel thwarted by a core frustration: the “black box” of hiring. Two candidates may appear equally capable, and yet only one catches the recruiter’s attention. Why? And how can you position yourself so that when the next opportunity arises, you stand out?

This is your chance to step inside the recruiter’s perspective—and learn what influences which executives advance in today’s competitive market.

Join Sharon Hulce, acclaimed executive recruiter and President & Founder of Employment Resource Group (ERG), for a candid conversation based on hundreds of senior-levels. She’ll share what grabs attention, what builds momentum, and where strong candidates often lose traction.

We’ll explore:

  • What recruiters are truly listening for in $200K+ executive searches
  • How to use LinkedIn strategically—and the mistakes that can cost you opportunities
  • Why great candidates often get overlooked—and how to make sure it doesn’t happen to you
  • How AI is entering the search process—and where human judgment still matters—and much more

Few executives get to hear this kind of insider perspective. At ExecuNet, we bring it weekly to executives who want to stand out and move forward with confidence in their next role.

If you have the chance to understand what it will take to land your next great role as quickly as possible—directly from someone on the inside—why wouldn’t you?
