Job Talk with The Interview Doctor

If you’re looking to make a job change, it does help to understand what recruiters call MPC – most placeable candidate. Executive recruiter, Dan Toussant, the Interview Doctor, examines three of these traits that recruiters know the best candidates have. Dan: What does MPC mean? I’ve come to realize that there are some things you look for as a recruiter in a candidate. Some very qualified people are in fact not most placeable candidates. 1. Stable work history 2. Know your Why? 3. Know what companies you’re interested in. These are three of the five most important things that a recruiter wants to see because it makes that candidate willing to learn and improves their chances of placing in the right job for him or her. Dan Toussant makes it his job to find the right job for the job seeker.
