Sarah Purches
How to land your next role by thinking like a recruiter
In this episode of the Get EVEN podcast, Dr Nora Koslowski is joined by recruitment expert and Kindtide founder Sarah Purches to unpack how hiring decisions are really made and what most candidates misunderstand about recruitment.
Sarah shares insider knowledge on:
how recruiters assess applications,
what actually matters in interviews,
and why strong relationships and networks play such a decisive role in landing roles.
Together, they explore common mistakes candidates make, how to communicate well throughout the recruitment process, and how to stand out without over performing or burning yourself out.
This conversation also goes beyond tactics. Sarah reflects on her own non linear career path, why respectful recruitment matters, and how poor hiring decisions create ripple effects for people and organisations alike.
If you are navigating a job search, considering your next career move, or want a more honest and grounded view of recruitment from the inside, this episode will help you approach the process through a new perspective.
