The latest Talent Sessions Bytesize episode is now live - and this time I’m joined by the brilliant Danny Stockwell Talent Manager from FX Digital (someone I’ve known a while, and we’ve been meaning to do this for ages).

We go deep into what’s really happening in today’s tech hiring market, how to stand out when everyone’s shouting, and why bringing energy and honesty to hiring still cuts through.

Oh - and did I mention he’s also a DJ and music producer? 🎧So yes, it would’ve been rude not to use one of his own tracks for the show intro - and it bangs.

Raw convo, no fluff.


We talk talent, tech, real recruitment challenges and what hiring managers actually want to see.

One for the job seekers, hiring leads, and anyone who loves real talk with rhythm.

🎧 Now streaming on all platforms.
