About this listen
What really happens behind the scenes in hiring and how can dads returning to work stand out?
In this episode of Gap to Gig, host Michael Jacobs talks with Jacob Stone, HR consultant and founder of WorqTap, who’s spent over a decade helping companies hire smarter and helping people land roles that actually fit their lives.
Jacob shares what most job seekers never hear:
• What’s really going on inside hiring teams (and how to stand out).
• Why soft skills like adaptability and communication matter more than technical ones.
• How parenting builds the exact qualities employers need.
• How to reframe career gaps with confidence.
• Why networking, not algorithms, gets you hired.
Whether you’re reentering the workforce, changing careers, or just trying to build meaningful work around family life, this episode will help you bring your full story to the table.
