Hey Keva: A candidate posted an answer to the question: "Tell us about yourself and what makes this role the best fit for you" that began: "ChatGPT said:" Keva: I get it! You want to use AI to help you write professional-sounding responses to candidate questions—especially if you aren't a writer. ✍ But SERIOUSLY! You need to take your time and proofread your response, whether or not you use AI assistance. ⏳ If you are using AI, use it as a GUIDE. Be sure you are representing yourself and sounding conversational. Don't let a machine learning algorithm 🤖 do your talking for you. More and more, people are reacting negatively to the "AI speak" that comes from these bots. So, my advice? BE AUTHENTIC, BE HUMAN, CREATE A PERSONAL BRAND, and SPEAK YOUR OWN TRUTHS!

Hey, job seekers! Guess what? Companies are hiring. But they aren't all posting on LinkedIn. 🕵♂️ We see you, start-ups and companies in stealth mode! 🥷 When you've exhausted the reach of your skeleton crew (or before), give us a call, and we'll help you build your dream team! 🤳 Keva Dine breaks it down 👇
🔺Executive Creative Recruiter → Hiring partner for bold brands + Career catalyst for standout creatives 🔻 Founder | Advisor | Personal Branding Coach | On track to placing my next $400M in salaries
25 years in the game and let me spill it on what's REALLY happening right now. While everyone's crying about the creative job market… …I'm over here signing NDAs left and right with stealth companies who are hiring like crazy - they're just not telling YOU about it. Companies aren't posting on LinkedIn. They're not broadcasting their moves. They're building in the shadows and only tapping recruiters like me when their internal networks run dry. The candidates getting scooped up are the ones with AI skills who aren't waiting for job posts to magically appear. So here's your reality check: Those "we're not hiring" companies? They're just not sharing. That perfect role you're waiting to see posted? It's being filled through backdoor channels RIGHT NOW. Your network thinks there are no opportunities? They're just not in the rooms where it happens. Companies in stealth mode - when you've exhausted your skeleton crew's reach and need someone who knows how to move in silence, you know where to find me. This is exactly where we thrive. NDAs ready. Networks loaded. The market isn't dead. You're just looking in the wrong places.

Hey job searchers! 🔍 Are you getting Keva Dine's quarterly newsletter, INTEL? If not, here's a snippet from the latest edition: 👇 Get aligned and get hired I've been getting lots of questions from job seekers about why they aren't gaining traction. They're doing all the "right things" and spinning their wheels. Before you apply to every job opening that you find on LinkedIn, you need to get aligned. First, ask yourself the hard questions. ❓ What are your must-haves (non-negotiables) and negotiables? ❓ What are your strengths? ❓ Where are your gaps? ❓ How does your experience/expertise align with the job and company? ❓What is your unique offering? ❓How can you help the company you are applying to solve a problem? 🔥 Are you ready to get actionable insights in your inbox every month?

Career Dreamers: ✨ Are you following the trends and discovering what you need to do to get found and get hired? If you're not subscribed to Keva Dine's quarterly newsletter, INTEL, you're missing out. Here's a snippet from the FALL edition: If you're not writing your own smart story, AI is crafting a profile for you. How is this possible? Let's break it down. Recruiters, HR departments, and organizations have tools to help them find and sort qualified candidates. Those tools are powered by AI technology. That AI bot is looking through your LinkedIn profile, engagement, comments, and posts to create a profile of who you are. IF you've been paying attention, the results will accurately reflect your expertise, experience, and the value you bring to an organization. If you've left your LinkedIn profile to gather dust while you engage on your other social media platforms, like TikTok, the AI bot will dismiss you as irrelevant. Want to find out what to do next?

Hey Keva: I've applied to 50 jobs this week and I'm not getting any responses. 👻 Keva: If you've applied to 50 jobs (or even 25) in one week, you are using your resume as wallpaper. 🚮 Before you apply, make sure you are ALIGNED with the job description, the company, and the role. 🎯 What does that mean? It means you recognize that your experience and expertise DIRECTLY address the company's pain points. ✅ It means you are going beyond just applying and following the company and its key employees. 👀 It means that when they look at your LinkedIn profile, they will see a mirror image of the candidate they have been looking for. 🪞 It takes work, and it means not applying to every job that is posted. But alignment will help you limit ghosting and improve your chances of actually landing an interview. 🥳
