Listen "Ep 259 - Observing Actions vs Words: How to Cure Hopium"
Episode Synopsis
Actions speak louder than words in recruitment.
Ever heard the term hopium? It is when hope becomes your strategy, relying on wishful thinking instead of taking action. Many recruiters fall into this trap, hoping deals will close, candidates will respond, or clients will move quickly. But hope alone is not a strategy.
In this ep, I break down how to spot when words do not match actions in recruitment. By observing what clients and candidates actually do, rather than what they say, you can make smarter decisions, protect your pipeline, and avoid wasted time chasing deals that will not happen.
Tune in to learn:
👉 What Hopium is and why hope is not a recruitment strategy
👉 How to identify when actions and words are misaligned
👉 Practical ways to read client and candidate intent
👉 How to make better decisions and increase your placement success
