The Hiring Market You Knew Isn't Coming Back. Welcome to Now & Next.
Forget everything you knew about hiring.
That market died in 2021 and left no forwarding address.
What replaced it?
A system where 75% of executive positions fill before posting.
Where referrals convert 900% better than applications.
Where your LinkedIn profile matters more than your résumé.
This isn't temporary turbulence—it's permanent infrastructure.
Cost of nostalgia: $80K per quarter of missed compensation.
In this solo episode, Loren breaks down the 3 biggest myths executives over 40 are still clinging onto— and the new framework for getting hired before jobs are even posted.
What the best candidates are doing differently in a slow market
Why “just applying more” is the worst strategy you can use
How to stop tweaking your résumé and start showing up where it matters
The 3 Rs of career rewiring: Relationships. Relevance. Reskilling.
Plus Loren also shares a real client story from a client who had zero digital footprint and hadn’t job searched in 14 years..
And how she went from an outdated LinkedIn profile…To a booked speaker on AI in HR…To being asked to be the CEO of an HR AI Startup.
The market moved. Move with it.
