ones.

CareerBuilder allows so many free ones.

Now, the second that CareerBuilder or LinkedIn pick up that you're pushing a recruiting-based model, they'll shut you down.

But that's why you see so many.

That's why you get so many DMs.

Indeed.

Monster, CareerBuilder, ZipRecruiter, and Glassdoor all answered AI bots with strict bot walls.

Just a hard stop.

Yes.

Now, because I'm a good student and my university professors many years ago always told me to cite my sources, here's some research.

In 2014, the American employment website CareerBuilder, sent a survey to more than 2,000 hiring managers.

They talked to more than 2,000 hiring managers.

What they found was that some of their least favorite terms, their least favorite vocabulary, included common phrases like team player, hard worker, Self-motivated.

High volume candidates go through the same hoops as senior engineers.

And on the other side, The lack of workflows made it harder for recruiters who were hiring white collar versus high volume talent, right? So TA teams created workarounds outside the applicant tracking system and became dependent on the likes of Monster, CareerBuilder, Indeed, LinkedIn, and others.

And those behaviors became cemented in their daily work as the tech became more advanced to allow companies to build their own internal systems.

It was already too late.

I'm with you 100%.

When you own your careers pages, take it back, right? I mean, we still always talk about the day.

I still remember the newspapers killed themselves when they gave their want ads to CareerBuilder, right? And everybody figured out, I never need to go back to the newspaper site again.

I can go to CareerBuilder.

Recently featured in Who's Who in the Martial Arts Legacy biography book, Mike brings a perspective shaped by two demanding worlds.

Not a perfect fit, but here's some other opportunities for you.

You would never get that from, I would say, let's go back 10 years on CareerBuilder.

You applied and applied and applied.

You may apply to 200 positions and never really get any active feedback.

Why do you think that these companies usually don't take so much care when it comes to the end of the employee?

You know, I think that there's a culture in the United States of organizations doing an amazing job with onboarding, like, like you mentioned, right? You can go out to LinkedIn and CareerBuilder, and you can just type in the word onboarding, and you will see sp- positions specifically for that task, and that's a beautiful thing, right? And then the organization, after you're onboarded, they bring you into their culture, and they want you to engage and build relationships and, uh, and really connect with the people that are in the office, right? So that you're considered a team player, you're considered collaborative, you're considered all these things.

Then what happens at the end of the life cycle is it's time to let you go, and there could be many reasons for that.

But at the end of the day, Well Transitioned firmly believes the reason for you to let them go doesn't matter.

I don't think I've ever heard it phrased that way before.

What, what most managers do when they have turnover or an open role is their first instinct is, "Oh my gosh, let's open a job and post it to a job board." That's, like, the first thing they do, and that's been the way it's been for 30 years, you know, going back to monster.com and CareerBuilder, that you just...

You'd, you'd open it, you'd, you'd go post and pray.

And today, that's not the ideal path.

Yeah

... "Come on, I got a finance job for you." He w- he was sending me, like, Career Builder emails, you know?

[laughs]

But then once the HBO came, he understood HBO, there's a contract now.
