Traditional recruitment systems are very good at finding exact words. That is also their weakness.\n\nA Spa Director vacancy might miss an exceptional Spa Manager who already controls payroll, leads 25 people and owns the departmental forecast simply because the words do not line up. A future Spa Manager might currently be a Senior Therapist with years of training, rota and KPI responsibility.\n\nGood matching needs structure and judgement. Qualifications and technical requirements still matter. Location, availability and systems matter. But career progression needs to be understood too.\n\nThe question should not only be: have they done this exact job before? It should also be: what evidence shows they are ready to do it well?
