How to Turn a Job Rejection into a Future Opportunity

Receiving a job rejection can be disappointing, especially after investing time and effort into the process. However, it is important to remember that a rejection does not mean the end of your career journey. It can become a valuable learning experience and a stepping stone towards future success.At NMS Recruit, we regularly work with candidates who have faced setbacks only to secure even better opportunities soon after. The key is to approach rejection with perspective and professionalism.Firstly, remember that rejection is not always a reflection of your ability. Hiring decisions are influenced by many factors such as internal changes, cultural fit, or timing. Instead of viewing it as a failure, take the opportunity to reflect on what you learned from the process. Every interview builds experience and confidence, helping you perform even better next time.Whenever possible, request feedback. A polite and professional message can go a long way, for example:“Thank you for the opportunity to interview for the [put the job title here] position. While I am disappointed not to be moving forward, I would really appreciate any feedback you can share to help me improve for future opportunities.”This simple step not only shows maturity but also leaves a lasting positive impression. Many candidates we work with have later been reconsidered by the same employer because they handled rejection with professionalism and curiosity.It is also worthwhile to maintain a connection. Follow the company on LinkedIn, engage with their content, and stay in touch with your recruiter. Businesses evolve quickly, and new positions often arise where previous candidates are invited back to apply. Keeping yourself visible ensures you remain front of mind when the next opportunity appears.Rejection can also be a chance to reassess your goals. Was the role truly aligned with your long-term aspirations? Sometimes, what feels like a setback is actually redirection, guiding you towards a position that is a stronger match for your skills, values, or ambitions.Finally, keep moving forward. Continue applying, learning, and building your network. Resilience is one of the most valuable traits any professional can develop. Every experience, successful or not, contributes to your growth and career story. At NMS, we support candidates through every stage of their job search. Whether you are celebrating an offer or navigating a rejection, we are here to help you turn each experience into a future opportunity. Please feel free to speak with a member of our team today!

Is a Cover Letter Still Necessary in 2025?

For years, the cover letter has been seen as an essential part of any job application. But in 2025, with so many digital tools, online profiles, and fast-paced recruitment processes, many candidates are wondering whether it still has a place. Is the traditional cover letter still necessary, or has it become a thing of the past?At NMS Recruit, we see both sides every day. Some employers still value a thoughtful cover letter as a way to understand a candidate’s motivation and communication skills, while others barely glance at them, preferring to go straight to the CV or LinkedIn profile. The truth is that the cover letter isn’t dead, it’s just evolving.A strong cover letter can still make a real difference, especially in roles where personality, communication, and cultural fit are key. It’s an opportunity to explain why you want the role, what draws you to the company, and how your skills translate to real impact. While a CV focuses on what you’ve done, the cover letter explains why you’ve done it and why it matters. Employers often tell us that the most memorable applications are those where the candidate has clearly taken the time to personalise their approach rather than sending the same generic statement to every role.However, it’s also true that the hiring process has changed dramatically. With applicant tracking systems filtering CVs by keywords, many cover letters never even reach a human reader. And in busy sectors like IT or Sales, hiring managers simply don’t have time to read hundreds of lengthy documents. That’s why modern cover letters need to be short, clear, and focused. The best ones are now more like a short pitch than a formal essay. Three or four concise paragraphs that demonstrate enthusiasm and relevance are far more effective than a page of repeated information from your CV.We often advise candidates to think of their cover letter as a way to answer the question “Why you, and why this job?” in just a few sentences. Mention the company by name, show that you’ve done your research, and explain briefly what value you can bring. Use your own voice, authenticity is much more engaging than formal jargon. Even if not every recruiter reads your letter in detail, those who do will notice the effort, and that can make the difference between getting an interview or not.Interestingly, we’ve seen that the value of a cover letter often depends on the type of role. In more technical fields like IT and Engineering, a well-structured CV often does the heavy lifting, while in client-facing or creative positions, a short, compelling cover letter still holds weight. One of our clients recently told us that a candidate’s cover letter convinced them to offer an interview, even though their CV didn’t tick every box, it showed curiosity, initiative, and the willingness to learn, which ultimately mattered more than direct experience.So, is a cover letter still necessary in 2025? We’d say yes but with a modern twist. It’s no longer about following a rigid format or writing a full page of text. It’s about showing personality, intent, and alignment in a concise and thoughtful way. If you can do that, your cover letter will still give you an edge.At NMS Recruit, we help candidates position themselves in the best possible way whether that’s refining a CV, tailoring an application, or preparing for interviews. If you’re looking to make your next career move or want advice on standing out to employers, please feel free to speak to our team today!

Should You Hire for Skills or Personality?

When you’re looking to make a new hire, one of the biggest questions you’ll face is this: should you prioritise skills, or personality? It’s one of the longest-standing debates in recruitment, and the truth is there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.At NMS Recruit, we help businesses across Sales, IT, Finance, Commercial, IT, Automotive sectors, Utilities, Energy & Telecoms sectors to build successful teams.We see that the best hiring decisions come from striking the right balance.Let’s break it down.The Case for Hiring SkillsSkills are measurable, tangible, and often essential. For roles in IT or Finance, specific technical skills or qualifications are non-negotiable; you wouldn’t hire an accountant without accountancy training, or an IT engineer without relevant technical knowledge.The benefit of hiring for skills is clear: the candidate can hit the ground running. There’s less need for training, and you can be confident they’re able to handle the day-to-day demands of the role.But there’s a downside. Skills alone don’t guarantee success. A candidate may have the expertise, but if they lack the right attitude or can’t adapt to your culture, they may not last. That leads to wasted time and money, and back to square one in the hiring process.The Case for Hiring PersonalityHiring for personality is about prioritising cultural fit, attitude, and potential. The right personality traits (such as resilience, adaptability, and collaboration)can be powerful indicators of long-term success.This approach often works best in roles where soft skills are as important as technical knowledge, such as Sales or Customer Service. Candidates who are enthusiastic, motivated, and willing to learn can often be trained in the technical aspects of a role.The risk? Training takes time and resources. If you need someone who can deliver from day one, hiring purely on personality could leave you with a gap in performance.Getting the Right BalanceThe smartest hiring decisions balance both skills and personality. Here’s how to do it:1. Identify must-have skills: Be clear on what’s essential from day one versus what can be taught.2. Assess personality during interviews: Ask situational questions that reveal how a candidate works under pressure, in a team, or with clients.3. Think long-term: Consider not just whether the person can do the job now, but how they’ll grow with your business.4. Involve your team: Sometimes the best way to judge cultural fit is to see how candidates interact with potential colleagues.Real Client ExampleWe recently worked with a client in the Commercial sector who had been struggling to fill a sales role. They were focused heavily on finding someone with prior industry experience... with no success. We then shifted their approach to consider personality and potential.We introduced them to a candidate who had the right personality traits, but came from a different sector. With a few weeks of training, they were not only up to speed but quickly exceeded sales targets.It was a reminder that skills can often be taught, but the right personality can transform a team!Our ConclusionSo, should you hire for skills or personality? The answer is: both. Skills are essential for immediate performance, but personality is often the better predictor of long-term success.By striking the right balance and knowing when to prioritise one over the other, you’ll not only fill vacancies but build stronger, more resilient teams.At NMS Recruit, we help businesses find candidates who have the right mix of expertise and attitude. Whether you need someone who can deliver from day one or a future leader with potential, we’ll help you make the right call.

How to Change Careers Successfully

Changing careers can feel daunting... but it’s also one of the most rewarding things you can do.Whether you’re chasing a long-held dream, feeling unfulfilled in your current role, or seeking better work-life balance, making a career switch is entirely possible with the right planning, mindset, and support.At NMS Recruit, we have helped countless candidates successfully pivot into new industries. Here’s how to make the transition smoothly and confidently.Be Clear on Why You Want to ChangeBefore diving into applications, take time to understand your reasons for wanting a change. Are you bored? Burnt out?
