Summary

Some placements happen fast.

The best ones happen because you played the long game.

On the newest episode of Recruiter Wins, I sat down with Lindsey Bozzio (COO, SurfSearch) to unpack a recruiting win that every recruiter will recognize:

  • Found the perfect Design / Product Development Engineer
  • Candidate wasn’t ready to move
  • The client paused the search
  • Four weeks after restarting? Offer in hand

A few takeaways from this episode:

  • Know your client deeply (culture + what “great” actually looks like) so you can spot the right person instantly.
  • Keep A-players warm without being transactional. Conduct real check-ins with genuine curiosity.
  • AI can help you track info but it can’t replace trust. Lindsey tested automated touchpoints and saw the same thing many of us have: if it doesn’t feel human, it doesn’t get replies.

If you’ve ever had a search go on hold, a candidate say “not right now,” or a deal come down to timing, this one’s for you.

Listen to Recruiter Wins with Lindsey Bozzio wherever you get your podcasts.
