The Changing World of Recruitment with Tarryn Hogan

In this episode of Q&A with S&A, Andrea and Shane sit down with Tarryn Hogan, Director & Principal Consultant at Rae Recruitment, to discuss the realities of recruitment from both sides of the hiring process.

Tarryn shares her journey from falling into recruitment to building her own business specialising in professional services, and explains what it takes to build trust with clients and candidates in an industry where relationships matter.

Tarryn also shares practical advice for candidates, including how to improve your CV, approach interviews, work with recruiters, and make your experience stand out.

Andrea, Shane and Tarryn also explore the impact of AI on recruitment, the changing expectations around working from home, the challenges of running a business, and why Tarryn believes recruitment will always be fundamentally a people business.

Whether you're an employer looking to hire, a candidate considering your next move, or simply interested in the changing world of work, this episode is packed with practical insights from someone working at the coalface of recruitment.
