Joel’s humorous reminder of work-life balance and family gatherings
Joel’s humorous take on the real life struggles of a recruiter captured the all too relatable reality of navigating family gatherings, especially for those in “helpful” roles.
It’s highly relatable and super shareable, especially for professionals who’ve been there.
While it’s a funny take, it also highlights the hidden emotional labor of roles like recruiting.
Sure, it’s flattering when family sees you as the go-to, but setting boundaries is key to staying sane.
Joel’s post is a clever reminder to protect your work-life balance, even at the Thanksgiving table. The video is a refreshing dose of humour!
Hishem’s blueprint for recruitment success – niche markets & big wins
Hishem’s post hits home with recruiters because it delivers real, high impact insights in a practical, relatable, and aspirational way.
Recruitment professionals love clear, actionable advice – and pairing it with the jaw-dropping example of a $900,000 placement fee was bound to capture attention.
It speaks directly to the entrepreneurial mindset in recruitment, inspiring professionals to think bigger about their market choices.
The framework is spot on. In a competitive recruitment industry, focusing on niche markets where talent is scarce and fees are substantial is a proven way to maximise returns.
Sectors like finance, tech, or legal, where salaries and demand align perfectly with this approach, demonstrate that choosing the right market is as much about strategy as it is about opportunity.
The big takeaway? Recruitment isn’t just about finding candidates – it’s about playing in the right arena. Hishem’s post is a masterclass in thinking strategically – and a reminder that big wins come from big decisions.
Carolyn’s insight on the rookie journey and supporting underdogs
Carolyn’s post also had an impact because it’s raw and relatable – ingredients for viral content. It taps into universal truths about mentorship, trust, and career beginnings in executive search recruitment.
It’s a nostalgic nod to the rookie experience, and her closing message about supporting underdogs strikes a universal chord, especially in industries like recruitment and sales.
It’s a poignant reminder that even in executive search, everyone starts somewhere – and early opportunities are transformative. It’s also a lesson for hiring managers – giving rookies a chance not only helps them grow but builds lasting loyalty and respect.
Her story is also a lesson for recruiters themselves – that bad calls or bad days don’t define your career, but persistence and the right opportunities do.
Greg’s take on building trust – how listening beats talking in recruitment
In a world where talking is often seen as the key to success – especially in recruiting – Greg flips the script, making us realise that listening is where true value lies. His actionable advice makes the post both relatable and shareable.
It’s a powerful reminder that listening is more than just a skill – it’s a superpower.
Whether you’re in recruitment or any client facing role, active listening is at the heart of building trust and long term relationships.
It’s not about waiting for your turn to talk but fully understanding the person in front of you.
In a world where AI is taking over many of the technical aspects of work, human connection, empathy, and understanding will remain our greatest assets.
If you want to focus on truly listening during interviews and client calls, let Atlas handle the note taking for you, and never miss a detail with Interview AI. Ready to try it out?

Andrew’s job selling secret – the power of purpose over pay
Andrew’s post struck a chord because it taps into the timeless truth that people crave more than just a paycheck – they want meaningful experiences.
The comparison to Shackleton’s iconic 1913 advert, which was famously oversubscribed despite offering no salary, is a genius move.
It shows that, at the core, humans are motivated by impact and adventure, not just titles or financial perks. The message is clear – don’t oversell jobs or paint them as perfect. Instead, highlight the real opportunities for growth and impact.
This is an important reminder for recruiters and employers. It’s easy to get caught up in selling the “perfect” job, but that often falls flat. Executive candidates want authenticity and purpose – something they can connect with. Perfect isn’t the goal – meaningful and impactful work is.
