1 Assess Fit

Before revisiting your sales pitch, ensure it aligns with the recruiters' needs and the company culture. Research the organization thoroughly to understand their values, product line, and market position. Tailor your pitch to reflect how your skills and experience can solve their specific problems. Show that you're not just looking for any job, but the right fit where you can contribute meaningly and grow professionally.

2 Refine Message

Your sales pitch may be comprehensive, but if it's not concise and compelling, recruiters might lose interest. Focus on clear, impactful communication that highlights your unique value proposition. Instead of listing every accomplishment, select the most relevant ones that demonstrate your ability to excel in the role you're targeting. Use language that resonates with the industry and positions you as an asset to the team.

3 Practice Delivery

The way you deliver your pitch can be just as important as the content. Practice your delivery to ensure it's confident, engaging, and free from filler words or jargon that could confuse recruiters. Record yourself to identify areas for improvement and to get comfortable with your pacing and tone. Remember, enthusiasm is contagious, so let your genuine excitement for the role shine through.

Speak with all the recruiters that you can and ask for feedback. Put yourself on the uncomfortable position of facing what things make the recruiters jump on a phone call or, on the contrary, not answering. Make a follow-up message and keep making constant changes, check your response rate and bear in mind the countries and cultures that you are addressing, as it might affect the response.

4 Seek Feedback

Feedback is a powerful tool for improvement. Reach out to mentors, peers, or even former recruiters for their honest input on your pitch. They may offer insights into what recruiters are looking for and how you can adjust your approach to make a stronger impression. Be open to constructive criticism and use it to refine your pitch further.

5 Adjust Strategy

If your pitch still isn't landing, consider changing your strategy. Perhaps you're focusing too much on hard skills and not enough on soft skills like leadership or teamwork, which are highly valued in many organizations. Alternatively, you could be underselling yourself. Make sure your pitch conveys confidence in your abilities without coming across as arrogant.

6 Follow Up

After delivering your pitch, don't forget to follow up. A timely, polite follow-up email can keep you top of mind and demonstrate your continued interest in the position. In your message, briefly reiterate your key qualifications and express your appreciation for the opportunity to pitch. This attention to detail can set you apart from other candidates who don't take this extra step.

Use video to make an introduction! It is by far the most underutilized tool that really does set people apart. There are free tools out there like Loom or Vidyard, but you can even just take a video on your cell phone and send that way too (be sure to wipe the lens!). This will allow the hiring manager or recruiter to see you going out of the box to garner their attention and show your passion for the position. It also gives a much more connected human approach to hiring.
