Philippe Riboton: Pro Headhunter Secrets & Why Your CV Gets Rejected

Change Talks

In this eye-opening episode of Change Talks, I sit down with Philippe Riboton, a seasoned journalist, serial entrepreneur, and one of Europe’s most respected headhunters.

From navigating the nuances of personal branding to the hidden role of AI in hiring, Philippe shares unfiltered insights from decades of experience in recruitment and executive search.

Get ready to rethink your approach to job hunting as we discuss:

  • Why you should forget sending CVs to advertised jobs
  • What wins in life and interviews: knowledge and experience vs. skillset and attitude
  • Why flooding the internet with your personal brand might backfire
  • The real reason some managers want you back in the office
  • How recruiters dig through your social media like detectives
  • Why your CV is likely being tossed by AI bots before anyone sees it
  • How to stand out against 100+ other applicants — and outsmart AI-powered screening

Whether you’re aiming to change industries, find an executive role, or understand the future of remote work, Philippe’s tips on networking, personal branding, and the headhunter’s mindset are invaluable.

Plus, get his take on why having a personal headhunter “on standby” might be your best career move.

Tune in for insider perspectives that could redefine your career strategy.
