128. How To Impress a CS Hiring Manager (From a CS Hiring Manager) with Eric Clouse

What do Customer Success hiring managers actually notice that most candidates never think about?

In this episode, I'm joined by Customer Success hiring manager Eric Clouse to talk through what actually stands out at every stage of the hiring process. We cover recruiter outreach, resumes, and interviews, along with the mistakes that quietly hurt candidates. We also get into how hiring managers are evaluating AI skills today and what the future of Customer Success means for your career.

You'll walk away with a much clearer understanding of what today's CS leaders are looking for and how to approach your job search more strategically. If you want to stop guessing what hiring managers value and start making stronger career moves, hit play and let's dive in.

And if you're ready to build an outreach strategy that helps you stand out with hiring managers, apply for coaching HERE and let's work together.

01:16 – Why hiring managers think differently than most job seekers realize

04:28 – The LinkedIn outreach mistake that could be costing you interviews

07:13 – What hiring managers actually want to see before they ever read your resume

16:08 – Why tailoring your resume to the job description can backfire

22:06 – The interview mistake that quietly reveals you're not thinking like a CSM

25:54 – What hiring managers are really looking for when they ask about AI
