## Resource

Tina Bright wasn't looking—but Inter-Con Security found her anyway. In this episode, Tina shares how a well-timed drink with the CPO turned a polite decline into a fast-tracked offer. She unpacks her playbook for entering a new org, from low-hanging fruit wins to tech stack audits, and explains why TA leaders should stay curious about the latest tools (even when they're not buying). Tina also reflects on evaluating career moves with intention—and why working for someone who gets TA can be a game-changer. Key Takeaways: How a casual drink turned into a senior leadership role The importance of surveying stakeholders early in a new role Low-lift, high-impact wins to build credibility fast Evaluating ATS and CRM options that actually fit the business Why TA leaders should demo new tools—even without a buying need How to spot when a company is truly invested in talent acquisition Tina's three-question framework for evaluating new opportunities Why company culture (and who you report to) really matters Tina Bright on LinkedIn LHH Recruitment Solutions A Beautiful Working World A Soundbeam Studios Production
