We are joined by recruiter and talent acquisition professional Leah Dillon to break down the realities of recruiting in 2025. Together, they examine how recruiters can build credibility online without falling into the trap of hot takes or viral-driven content.

Shifts in recruiter-driven content on LinkedIn and how it affects candidate trust.
Best practices for maintaining a professional digital presence while avoiding unnecessary online conflict.
The recruiter’s role in setting clear expectations for both hiring managers and candidates.
Common pitfalls in hiring processes—like vague role definitions—and their impact on candidate experience.
Practical coping strategies for recruiter burnout, including building supportive peer networks and adopting healthier communication habits.
This conversation offers tactical insights for recruiters seeking to improve candidate experience, maintain credibility in a noisy online environment, and build sustainable practices in an increasingly complex hiring landscape.
