“Horrible. It's really, really toxic. I'm actually considering giving notice today. I should be having about 120 people, but I'm making do with 20.”
When we first connected with this client, he was Director of Digital Analytics and had decades of experience leading analytics organizations. Yet, after submitting several applications, this is what he told us:
“As soon as a job is posted, there's over 100 applicants in minutes. My resume just vanishes into the ether and I can't seem to get an interview.”
Nowhere left to go
He had been looking because he'd reached a ceiling in his firm. He told us:
“I would ideally like a Senior Director role or higher. I'm the highest-ranking analytics person... there's nowhere for me to go beyond this.”
Also, his scope had been massively expanded with no support:
“My scope has been toppled in the last year with no additional resources, the analytics org has been gutted across divisions and I should be having about 120 people, but I'm making do with 20.”
The situation only worsened over time. When we spoke again a few weeks later, things had reached a breaking point.
“Horrible. It's really, really toxic. I'm actually considering giving notice today.”
Despite all of that, the only meaningful traction he'd generated on his own was one interview process after reaching out directly to a hiring manager. Every other application had disappeared into the void.
Until we stepped in.
