In this episode of Hire Power, Kim Frost tackles one of her biggest hiring pet peeves: professionals who judge an opportunity by its title alone.

Drawing from decades of executive search experience, Kim breaks down why titles are often meaningless outside of your current company and how they can vary wildly in scope, responsibility, and impact. She shares a powerful real-life example of a candidate who looked beyond the job title, seized a high-growth opportunity, and retired a multimillionaire.

You’ll learn why focusing on the actual responsibilities, leadership potential, and long-term growth of a role will get you further than chasing a “VP” or “Director” label—and how being open-minded in your career can lead to life-changing opportunities.

In this episode:

• Why titles rarely reflect the true scope or influence of a role
• The career-killing mistake of dismissing an opportunity too soon
• How passive candidates often find the best opportunities
• A real story of one leader who looked past the title and built a legacy
• Why great leaders focus on impact, not labels

If you’ve ever been tempted to pass on a role because it “didn’t sound senior enough,” this episode will change the way you look at career opportunities.
