Are cover letters becoming obsolete? We, Max and Mike, dive headfirst into this controversial question in our latest podcast episode of The Hiring Experience. With the evolution of hiring practices and changing times, we argue that the traditional cover letter has lost its relevance. It's an age-old formality that has turned into a meaningless chore for applicants and a source of unnecessary friction in the hiring process. 

We invite you to join our thought-provoking discussion as we explore alternatives to cover letters. We challenge the notion that these letters demonstrate effort and commitment, suggesting instead the need for effective 'effort checks'. We emphasize aligning the hiring process with the job role and making it accessible to all potential applicants. It's high time we move past 'this is how we do things' and rethink our hiring strategies to attract, select, and retain the best talent. Tune in for this exciting episode, and let's revolutionize the way we hire, together!

We love to hear your hiring experience, whether you're a hiring manager with 100s of hires, about to make your first hire, or an applicant that has a story to tell. Share your stories with Max & Mike at hiringexperiencepod@gmail.com
