“How much are carrots these days?” Our favourite interview question. We ask it when we suspect an AI is feeding the answers. The signs are always there. The pause. The textbook polish. The flat, clinical, robotic cadence. The right answer? “WTAF?” Or something close. Say that and you’re halfway to the shortlist. Start with “The current average market price of carrots in London is…” And the interview’s over. #mongoosegray #mongoosejobs #techrecruitment #ai

Hold up. Forward deployed what? Waiter → Forward Deployed Nutrition Delivery Engineer. Plumber → Forward Deployed Fluid Infrastructure Lead. Dog walker → Forward Deployed Canine Uptime Engineer. Postman → Forward Deployed Last-Mile Document Delivery. Bouncer → Forward Deployed Access Control & Identity Management. Well, we’re hiring a locksmith. Or... Forward Deployed Security Engineer. Someone who can run a client workshop in the morning and a product strategy session in the afternoon, no sweat. Cyber x product x customers. That’s your lane. Think that’s you?

AI has made building 0-to-1 easier than ever. So it’s no surprise “Founder” is popping up on more and more CVs. And plenty of those founders are now knocking on our door for permanent roles. If that’s you, your first job is simple: explain the WHY. Why are you swapping late-night pizza and triple espressos for a lunchtime chicken wrap and a matcha latte? Spell. It. Out. Because if you don’t, we’ll assume the worst i.e. business isn’t going well, and you need a pit stop while it recovers or you get the next side hustle off the ground. Harsh? Maybe. But without evidence to the contrary... Our clients love entrepreneurial flair. They just don’t want to be your rebound relationship. #techrecruitment #startups #scaleups #mongoosegray #mongoosejobs

Top Tech Talent doesn’t care about your industry awards. Or your mission statement. Your values. Your origin story. Epic culture? Ping pong table? Free beer Fridays? Yawn. And that, ahem, “exciting opportunity”? Sure, whatever, heard it all before. Here’s the only question that matters to them 👉 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲? Your proposition has to be... Not worse (obviously). Not the same. Not slightly better. 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 better than what they’ve got right now. Top Tech Talent never runs out of options. Unhappy? They move. So by the time you slide into their DMs, they’ve already levelled up. They’re not stuck in a dead-end job. They’re not on the sofa gaming, waiting for your call. Finding them? Easy. There’s a shiny new AI tool for that. Convincing them? That’s the hard bit. Why? Because you’re probably too close to it. The blood, sweat, tears, 2am pizzas and triple espressos will do that to anyone. So take a step back. See your offer through your ideal candidate’s eyes. And the wider market in general. Not sure how to do that? Get yourself a recruitment partner who does 😉 #techrecruitment #mongoosegray #mongoosejobs

Every day brings a new AI-powered recruitment tool promising to find you the perfect job, or the perfect candidate, in a few prompts. It’s not happening. Now we’re told AI agents will do all the work for you. That’s not happening either. 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴. To be fair, this is where AI earns its keep. We’ve used several of the better-known tools to uncover candidates we might otherwise have only stumbled across. But finding people was never the hard part. That’s actually the easy bit. 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴. Be wary of any tool that claims to qualify candidates automatically. Based on what, exactly, a few keywords? You might get lucky now and then, but real qualification takes judgement. The kind of judgement built by working closely with a client across multiple searches, not by feeding AI mission statements and employee handbooks. 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴. Forget it. Persuading someone that your opportunity will genuinely change their life takes attunement, prudence, emotional intelligence, cultural sensitivity and discretion. Everything that AI is light years away from. #AI #techrecruitment #mongoosegray #mongoosejobs

More noise. Less signal. Everyone looks the same now. Everyone sounds the same. (Thanks, Claude.) Half of LinkedIn has "AI" bolted onto their job title. So spotting top talent is harder than ever. How are companies responding? More stages. Two interviews and a decision? Gone. Three rounds is the new minimum. Then add the technical assessments. It's the same story on the other side of the Big Pond. And they were already running longer processes to begin with. So if you're struggling to land top talent, the answer's obvious. Add more stages. Or get yourself a better recruitment partner 😉 #mongoosegray #mongoosejobs #techrecruitment

For us, this doesn't work. But what do we know? We're not branding gurus. Guess it all depends on the 𝚛̶𝚊̶𝚌̶𝚎̶ strategy. To us this new logo says professional services firm, not racing team. It's safe and corporate when it should scream... Fast. Exciting. Dangerous. Burnt Rubber. What do branding peeps think? #mclaren #branding #mongoosegray #mongoosejobs

"Need a 4th for padel tonight, who's free?” Might just be the most 2026 WhatsApp group message. Padel is tennis for people who got tired of running. Tennis is where you run a mile to hit a ball twice. As our Principal AI Engineer, you’ll be running the show. We don’t care if you’re an athlete or a socialite. Or both. Just as long as you’re good at your job and have a great time doing it. Padel players think they're socialites. Tennis players think they're athletes. Both are wrong. Both are having a great time. Think you can smash it out of the park? Get in touch explaining why we’d be a good match. 𝗣𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗹-𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗜 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿.

Is this the de facto standard CV template now? Clean. Polished. Easy on the eye. Bingo. But see the 10th one before your second coffee, and the impact dilutes fast. Be careful out there.

A player just stepped away from the table. Or did they? Eyeing up that high roller table rumoured for next month, maybe. Now a tower of chips into the pot! Then a few more. Tossed in. Nonchalantly. Not buying it. Pocket pair. Nothing more. More chips?? C'mon. Fine. Two pair. Worried about Kimi's hand? Cute. Go ask the ref if she's playing it straight. Big talk. But you ain't got no royal flush, homie. Call. Fine, if we're wrong, we're out. All of us. No buyback. Lay’em down! #AI #IPO #OpenWeight #mongoosegray #mongoosejobs

"I am writing to express my interest in the position you have open." This is not a hook. Just noise. At this point, "Yo, any tech gigs cookin'?" wins. #mongoosegray #mongoosejobs

Seems everyone and their dog is building an AI-powered recruitment platform promising the perfect unicorn job or purple squirrel candidate in just a few prompts. They typically claim to: 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 - fair enough. We've tested sourcing agents and they can match a manual process, run quicker, and sometimes unearth, albeit by chance rather than design, hidden gems a human might miss. 𝗬𝗘𝗦 ✅ 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 - sorry, what? You shouldn't be selling anything. Positioning, sure. Laying out the facts, absolutely. Selling? Nah. If an opportunity needs selling, it's probably not right. 𝗡𝗢 ❌ 𝗔𝗜-𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 - please don't. Like never. Ever. 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗡𝗢 ☠️ 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 - based on...? Keyword matches devoid of emotion, nuance or context? Where's the judgement built from years of experience and gut feel? 𝗡𝗢 ❌ 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 - fine, knock yourself out. It's a transactional, admin-heavy, boilerplate task. Caveat: sometimes you need to sprinkle in some magic dust e.g. flag key points from earlier conversations, surface insight into someone's thinking or personality. Stay nimble.
