Update: "A-Players" is dead - Long live "The Modern Recruiter!".

Hello everyone, Robin Choy here!

Big news: A-Players is changing its name to The Modern Recruiter! Nothing else changes except the name: all the links to the newsletter and the podcast in your favorite podcast app remain the same. All your 5-star reviews as well (what? you didn't leave a 5-star review on your podcast app yet? go do it now, that's an easy, free way to support our content! thanks so much 😋).

I decided to make this change for two reasons:

1. I wanted a self-explainable, more transparent name. The value proposition should now be crystal clear: 30-minute recorded discussions to help modern recruiters with a growth mindset keep learning.

2. I was growing uncomfortable with the term "A-Players”, there's so much more to a recruiter’s job than finding “top performers”

This is but the beginning: I really enjoyed recording the (already!) 60 episodes of A-Players (I mean: of The Modern Recruiter!), and I loved all the relationships I built with this podcast. I already have several high-quality episodes in the pipeline, so stay tuned & keep sharing your love for the podcast with your friends!

Thanks again for your support, and please reply to this email to let me know what you think of this new name, or the podcast, or just to chat!
