Ep 49: New Mines, Retiring Leaders, and How Mining Hiring Is Changing

🎙️Lindsey Schultz, CEO of MRC Recruiting 
🎧MRC Team: Samantha Larson, Heather Simoens, Sherri Powell, Laura Fletcher, Amanda Long

What happens when there are more mining jobs than people ready to step into them? Lindsey brings the whole MRC Recruiting team together to make the case that the answer starts with real conversations and a wider lens on talent.

Lindsey sits down with her MRC Recruiting team, Samantha Larson, Heather Simoens, Laura Fletcher, Sherri Powell, and Amanda Long. The team describes a market that feels like whack-a-mole, with new roles popping up as fast as searches close and candidates who can pick and choose. They dig into why, from retirements leaving gaps with no bench behind them to the push to build new mines in the US. Laura makes the case for defining what senior really means, Sherri shares how a flexible employer helped her move from mechanical engineering into HR, and the group talks honestly about AI-written resumes and why they still screen people the old school way. Lindsey also tells the story of placing a special operations veteran as an operations manager in Guyana. You'll walk away thinking about where your next leaders might come from if you're willing to look past the usual resume.

Our Promise

We spend time with people who are actually doing the work in mining, engineers, operators, leaders, and problem-solvers.These conversations are about how decisions get made, what's changing, and what people are learning in real time.The goal is simple, share ideas that stick, and help move the industry forward in a way that lasts.
