In this episode of The Recruitment Podcast by Recruit CRM, host Kate O’Neill chats with Matt Kirk, aka “The Annoying Recruiter,” about what it really means to be different in an industry often stuck in its ways.

Known for his unconventional methods, Matt shares how stepping away from traditional recruitment practices and embracing authenticity can lead to better results for recruiters, clients, and candidates alike.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
✅ Why recruiters often fall into clichés and how to break free from them.
✅ The importance of building a personal brand that truly reflects who you are.
✅ Creative approaches to job ads and social media content that resonate with the right audience.
✅ Why less tech and more meaningful communication can yield better recruitment results.
✅ How being unapologetically yourself can help you stand out and build trust.

If you’ve ever felt stuck doing the same things with little to no results, this episode is your guide to shaking things up and finding your voice in recruitment.
