Two candidates appear equally capable, yet only one catches the recruiter’s attention...find out why.

And how you can position yourself so that when the next opportunity arises, you are the one who stands out.

In this Q&A with ExecuNet Sharon Hulce, acclaimed executive recruiter and President & Founder of Employment Resource Group (ERG), joined us for a candid conversation based on hundreds of senior-level placements. She shares what grabs attention, what builds momentum, and where strong candidates often lose traction.

This is your chance to step inside the recruiter’s perspective and learn what it will take to land your next great role as quickly as possible—directly from someone on the inside.

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.
