Managing the Manager

Recruiters aren’t just sourcing resumes — they’re managing expectations, coaching through bias, and sometimes dragging hiring managers across the finish line.

In this episode of Talentless, we dig into the real work behind “managing the manager.” From setting clear timelines and pushing back on unrealistic requests to aligning on what “good” actually looks like, we discuss the soft skills and strategic grit it takes to run a hiring process that works.

Whether you’ve had to teach someone how to interview (again) or you’re battling hiring freeze whiplash, this one’s for you. Because being a recruiter means you’re not just filling jobs — you’re managing people who think they know how to.
