Case notes

Patterns from the room, anonymised.

These are the recurring patterns behind who gets chosen and who gets overlooked, drawn from real hiring conversations. Details are being prepared for publication.

Coming soon

Same CV, different focus

Two applications, one candidate. What changed between the CV that was ignored and the one that got a callback wasn't the work history: it was the focus.

Coming soon

The senior candidate who became invisible

Fifteen years of experience, and recruiters still couldn't say what he did. Why seniority can quietly work against you.

Coming soon

The CV line that changed the shortlist

One rewritten bullet point moved a candidate from the 'maybe' pile to the interview list. What the line actually said.

Coming soon

The interview that failed after the interview

The interview went well. The offer never came. What happened in the two weeks of silence afterward.

Coming soon

The candidate who was rejected for fit, not worth

A strong 'no' that had nothing to do with capability. How to tell the difference, and what to do about it.

See your own pattern first.

You don’t need someone else’s case study. You need your own diagnosis.
