In today’s job market, LinkedIn isn’t rewarding effort, authenticity, or even talent. It’s rewarding alignment.

    The Resume Is Demoted: The New Hiring Funnel

    Episode Summary The resume is no longer the front door to getting hired, and if you’re still treating it like it is, you’re already behind. In this episode of Behind the Offer, Samantha breaks down how hiring actually works in today’s market and why resumes have quietly been demoted from discovery tool to confirmation document. Recruiters aren’t starting with applications anymore, and instead, they’re starting with search, trust signals, and visibility. If you’re stuck in the resume rewrite loop, applying endlessly, and feeling invisible despite being qualified, this episode will explain why that’s happening — and what needs to change. You’ll learn how the modern hiring funnel really works, where most job seekers are misallocating their effort, and how to reposition yourself so recruiters find you before you ever hit apply. Why resumes are no longer the first filter in hiring How recruiters actually source and screen candidates today The difference between discovery vs. confirmation assets Why “applying more” is no longer a winning strategy What trust signals hiring managers rely on before resumes How visibility, proof, and positioning replace keyword chasing The resume hasn’t disappeared — it’s just no longer your opening move Hiring now starts with search engines, not applications Most job seekers are solving the wrong problem Visibility and trust determine who gets invited into conversations Being qualified isn’t enough if you’re unfindable or unclear If this episode made you realize you’ve been solving the wrong problem, the next step is clarity. 👉 Apply for a FREE Job Search Audit This is not a resume review.It’s a full diagnostic of where your job search is breaking down — visibility, positioning, trust signals, or funnel misalignment — so you know exactly what to fix and what to stop doing.
