Hiring Freeze

Cynically speaking, if the coach tells you straight up there’s a definite hiring freez, would you still willing to take multiple sessions with them now? Also the ‘success rate’ is pretty much a marketing pitch, it’s not like you can verify that and there’s way too many coaches boasting ”90% success rate from mentee” which is orders of magnitude higher than general success rate

Hi there, 

I actually feel like the hiring freeze is all that we talk about :) 

I even wrote a guide for candidates on specifically how to work around the limitations brought by the hiring freeze. You can read it here:

• Maximising your chances of getting a consulting job during an economic downturn

So I'm a bit surprised to hear that the coaches you've spoken to don't speak about it. It's here indeed, but a bad market situation doesn't mean that you can't get a job, but that you need to be even better than before. That makes an even stronger case for getting coaching from my point of view. 

Best,
Cristian

Hello,

I also feel like we talk a lot about the hiring freeze, and would be happy to talk you through any parts of it that you have questions about :) it's definitely true that hiring is a bit slower right now, but it's still possible to get a job. Our job as coaches is to help our clients get to the best of their potential and maximize their chances of getting an offer.
