Employability Coaching
with Hayden @ Beam it
My name is Hayden Evans, I'm the Founder of Beam it Recruitment.

I've been recruiting in the BEAM market since 2014, starting with Erlang then later Elixir as it rose in popularity.
As a BEAM recruiter my daily responsibilities often include (but are not limited to):
-
Reading resumes
-
Writing up job descriptions
-
Qualifying jobs with hiring managers for new & existing clients
-
Sourcing candidates using social media, Github, job boards, Google & more
-
Video calls with candidates all over the world
-
Helping candidates with relocation & Visa processes (where required)
-
Negotiating comp packages
-
Creating Elixir/Erlang focused content alongside experts in the community
-
Appeared on podcasts discussing the state of the market
​
Nearly 10 years on, I've now been actively involved in thousands of hiring processes & I'd love to take this opportunity to share what I've learned with the community in the form of our new 'Employability Training' service, designed to help you navigate BEAM hiring processes as smoothly as possible & give yourself the best opportunity of success.

We know negotiating for an offer or comp package can be difficult, especially when you're caught up in the emotion of the moment.

Resume Review
The importance of a good resume cannot be understated, with your resume acting as the first impression you make on potential employers. We offer a service in which we read, analyse, and suggest improvements for your CV.
Sometimes it's difficult to write a whole lifetime of achievements on paper & it helps to get an extra set of eyes across it.
Once you've sent us your resume, we'll look over it & provide feedback on a video call review. ​​
​
Social Media Review (included with Resume Review)
We understand that in most cases your personal & professional lives can be considered separate but the reality is that your online presence is assessed by potential employers.
As part of the employability service we can provide honest feedback on your public social media, what to do with that information remains your choice, of course.
​
​
Interviews
With experience working as an agency & on behalf of tech companies, we're able to offer a wide perspective to ensure you're fully prepared for your interviews.
Our interview training includes:
-
Preparation & debrief for any interview (not necessarily our clients), providing an opportunity to sanity test your questions, ensure you've covered all aspects prior to the meeting
-
Mock interviews: We conduct role-play for practice interviews, these are generally non-technical but a great opportunity to simulate interviews if you're anxious.
This is especially useful for non-native English speakers who want to practice conversations in a professional setting. -
Feedback & training points: We provide honest recommendations to consider before attending your next interview
