Most recruiters think selling a job is about listing responsibilities, salary, and benefits.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s not selling \u2014
\nthat\u2019s informing.<\/p>\n
Top candidates don\u2019t respond to information.
\nThey respond to meaning.
\nThey respond to identity.
\nThey respond to emotion.
\nThey respond to a story that makes them feel like the role is a chapter in their evolution.<\/p>\n
This is why world-class recruiters don\u2019t \u201cpitch jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThey sell possibility.
\nThey sell transformation.<\/p>\n
