Eps. #203 Tuesday, October 6th, 2026

Pay used to decide who took the job. Now the first question most candidates ask is whether they can work from home, and companies still writing postings around salary alone are losing candidates before anyone even applies.

In this episode…

  • Why flexible job postings pull in 10 times more applicants than office-only roles, and why candidates will take 30% less pay to get it

  • How SearchPros cut time to hire by 45% by pointing AI at candidates it already had, instead of chasing new ones

  • What determines whether a new hire survives the first 90 days, and why Ramos calls it a two way responsibility
