Listen "Low hire. Low fire. "
Episode Synopsis
Everyone keeps asking if the job market is broken. It’s not that simple. Hiring didn’t disappear—it changed. Quieter. More selective. Less forgiving of guesswork. In this episode, Jim Stroud unpacks why the market feels confusing, why familiar strategies stopped working, and what’s really driving hiring decisions right now. If your experience suddenly feels harder to translate—or the rules feel different without warning—this conversation will help you see what’s actually happening beneath the noise. | This episode brought to you by: Job Search 3.0 - Stop endlessly applying for jobs. Start attracting them instead. https://jobsearch.jimstroud.com
