About this listen
In this episode of The Interim Era, Matt and Mark bring in a voice from the other side of the job search: longtime recruiter Erik Winkler. With more than 25 years in talent acquisition, Erik doesn’t hold back on what recruiters really look for, what gets candidates tossed aside, and why the cover letter might finally be dead.
The conversation digs into the realities of today’s hiring process—AI screening, overloaded recruiters, and the human element that often gets lost. Erik shares candid insights on what stands out in a resume, whether LinkedIn messages actually work, and the biggest mistakes candidates make at every level.
If you’ve ever wondered how recruiters really think, or if you’re tired of sending applications into the void, this episode offers perspective, practical takeaways, and a few hot takes you won’t want to miss.
