Who better to answer questions about the hiring process than the ones tasked with doing the hiring! Today's The Overnight Trainer features one of the best recruiters I have ever worked with, Ashlyn McIntosh!

Ashlyn, Senior Talent Acquisition Partner at Altruist, has 10+ years experience creating relationships with candidates, leaders and stakeholders in order to make the best decisions for both the company and the individual. We go DEEP in this episode and Ashlyn gives us REAL answers to questions like:

Where is all the hate towards recruiters stemming from?

What don't candidates know about the inner workings of the talent acquisition process?

Should someone reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn if they are interested in a job at their company?

How can a candidate "beat" the dreaded Applicant Tracking System (you may be verrrryyy surprised to hear Ashlyn's answer to this)

We also talk about DEI and mental health in the workplace, and how to make sure your next company is one that can provide a safe place to be authentically you.
