In this episode of Beyond the Build, we sit down with a seasoned recruiter to unpack what actually happens behind the scenes of tech hiring.

We break down why hiring is really about risk management under uncertainty, why strong candidates still get rejected, and how recruiters and hiring managers evaluate fear, trust, and downside long before they evaluate brilliance.

We cover:
How hiring funnels actually work and why most decisions are about saying no safely
The six hidden risks every candidate is evaluated against
Why resumes that look “strong” still trigger doubt
How interviews act as risk filters, not talent celebrations
What recruiters mean when feedback feels vague or nonexistent
Why ghosting happens and what it usually signals
How candidates accidentally look risky without realizing it
Practical ways to de-risk yourself in resumes, interviews, and recruiter calls

If you’ve ever been told you were “a strong candidate” but still didn’t get the offer, this episode explains the part of the process no one teaches you.
