11 Ways to Get Hired
The One Where You Think Like a Recruiter
A 60-Minute Live Webinar on How Recruiters Really Screen Candidates
Session Overview
But what actually happens between “Application Submitted” and “Candidate Shortlisted”?
The first step towards improving your chances of getting hired is understanding the hiring process from the other side of the table.
11 Ways to Get Hired: The One Where You Think Like a Recruiter is a focused, 60-minute webinar exploring how recruiters actually screen and shortlist candidates.
During this session, participants will explore how recruiters screen applications, what influences shortlisting decisions, how Applicant Tracking Systems fit into the process, and some of the common reasons otherwise capable candidates are filtered out.
Instead of trying to cover the entire hiring process in one hour, participants will begin with one important question:
If I were the recruiter, would I shortlist me?
The 11 Ways You'll Learn
Understand the basic journey your application may take before it reaches an interview shortlist.
Recruiters need to identify relevance quickly. Your application should make your suitability easy to recognise.
Understand what can attract, or lose, a recruiter's attention during the initial review.
Discover the role Applicant Tracking Systems can play before a human recruiter even sees an application.
Understand why relevance and role-specific terminology matter during screening.
Recognise the difference between essential requirements, preferred requirements, and additional advantages.
A certificate may help you qualify for consideration, but employers also look for evidence that you can actually perform.
Instead of simply saying you are “hardworking,” “a team player,” or “a good communicator,” understand why evidence carries more weight.
Identify common application mistakes that may create doubt or weaken a candidate's credibility.
Rejection does not always mean a candidate is unqualified. Learn some of the factors influencing shortlisting decisions.
Review your own profile from a recruiter's perspective and ask: Is the fit obvious? Is the evidence strong? Is there a reason to shortlist me?
Learning Objective
The objective of this webinar is to help participants understand how employers view applications before an interview takes place.
By looking at recruitment from the employer's perspective, participants can begin identifying changes they may need to make in the way they position themselves in the job market.
The session focuses specifically on the screening and shortlisting stage.

- Candidates Struggling with Shortlisting – Those who believe they have the qualifications, but are unsure why their applications are not progressing.

Why Attend?
Because before you rewrite your CV, apply for another 20 jobs, or prepare another interview answer, it helps to understand:
How does the person making the hiring decision see me?
Why aren’t companies calling me?
What would make a recruiter choose to call me?
This session gives participants an opportunity to view recruitment through a different lens.
That shift in perspective is where real, practical change begins.
