Andrew Woods/Will McGreal

Hey Everyone, in this episode I'm talking to Will McGreal, a technical recruitment team lead with Morgan McKinley, who specialises in the recruitment of senior technical appointments.

Will and I talk about the differing aspects of the relationship that recruiters have with Software Engineers, from the person who is a candidate for a role, to the engineer who is the interviewer. This brings up some interesting scope on how professionalism is understood from a recruiters point of view, and how the software engineer takes two different perspectives for a recruiter.

We talk about honesty on both sides of the table, whether being too flexible is a drawback, putting candidates at ease, how not to arrive for an interview, and how the importance of the technical interview is waning.

Will also gives us our most laid back book recommendation yet in Tyson Fury: Behind The Mask. A book that really opens up our thoughts about mental health. 

As always, I hope you enjoy the show and if so, do please subscribe.
