🚀 𝐂𝐌𝐎 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐀𝐈 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬🚀 Our Danish partner office, DNA Headhunting in Copenhagen, used AI to analyze 126 job postings for CMOs and similar roles. The goal? To see if job responsibilities and requirements align with the fast-changing, tech-driven demands of modern marketing leadership.   The findings are clear: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐌𝐎 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝, yet most job postings fail to reflect this shift from traditional communication to digital transformation. This disconnect results in vague requirements, missing critical skills, and mismatched expectations between companies and candidates.   𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬:   ▪ Job requirements are often too vague and incomplete. ▪ Critical soft and hard skills, like cross-functional collaboration, are under-emphasized. ▪ There's a lack of focus on strategic thinking and innovation. ▪ Industry experience is prioritized over marketing expertise leading the very small recruitment pools.   These issues lead to quick CMO replacements, costing companies in recruitment and lost momentum. But this isn't just a CMO problem - these learnings are transferable to other C-level roles. The gap between expectations and reality is a broader issue in executive hiring.   It's time to rethink how we hire for C-level positions to better align with today’s business needs.   Here’s the article with the AI analysis and recommendations:   https://lnkd.in/dsjjE8fa   #CMO #ExecutiveHiring #KennedyExecutiveSearch #AIInsights #Leadership #DigitalTransformation

Many job-seekers have made bad experiences with headhunters and are reluctant to use a professional recruiter. Of course a good headhunter has something you don’t have: inside information of jobs that will never be advertised and information you can never achieve from the outside. Jörg Stegemann 🇩🇪 🇫🇷, Founder of Apollo Executive Search/ Kennedy France, offers these 8 tips for mid- to top-level managers: ▪ Prefer a specialist to a generalist: Work with recruiters who specialize in your industry.   ▪ Be careful: Avoid sharing confidential info without knowing the recruiter and their client.   ▪ Be rare: Work with no more than 3 headhunters to avoid appearing desperate.   ▪ Be prepared: Research and impress the recruiter to gain their full support.   ▪ Be honest: Don’t lie, as recruiters will uncover the truth through questioning and reference checks.   ▪ Like us or leave us: If there's no mutual trust or rapport, find another recruiter.   ▪ Use us: A good headhunter will provide feedback on your CV, brief you on the client and job, and offer insights into the company. If they don’t, be sure to ask.   ▪ Keep in touch: Even if you don’t land a job, follow up regularly to stay on their radar for future opportunities. #Kennedy #ExecutiveSearch #CareerAdvice #RecruitmentStrategy #Network You can access the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dNMyieHX
