'In recruiting, icebergs pop up all the time, but some aren’t as obvious as others, and sometimes, there’s no one at the helm to sound the alarm. Icebergs in recruiting can look like gaps in talent, dried up talent pools, neglecting to consider industry trends as they relate to talent needs or letting the competition pull ahead when you’re not watching.

'I spend a lot of time interviewing recruiters and ask a pretty wide range of questions depending on the situation. But a pretty consistent one is probably the most obvious: So what (on earth) got you into recruitment in the first place?

'As a recruiter, your goal when it comes to posting job ads on the likes of Indeed and Monster, should be to get as many qualified candidates as possible, to respond to your ad and apply for the job. The problem is, less than 10% of all the people who end up reading a job ad, actually engage with it. More problematic still, is the fact that those 10% are the people who managed to find the job ad in the first place and who have read it from start to finish.
