Jason sits down with Anushka Methananda, General Manager of People & Culture at Publicis Groupe, to demystify internal recruiting—how it works, what recruiters actually do day-to-day, and how candidates can prepare to shine. Nush explains why in-house teams have a sharper read on culture, pace, and fit, and how that helps candidates land in the right role, not just any role.
From researching the business and mirroring job-ad keywords (yes, ATS screens matter) to personalising your CV, building rapport on the screening call, and using a two-pronged outreach (recruiter + hiring leaders), she shares a practical roadmap. The big mindset shift: you represent you—be yourself, stay persistent, and stay open to stepping-stone opportunities (contracts, parental-leave covers) that can lead to your next chapter.
