#JobInterviews #Recruitment #LazyRecruiters
Have you ever felt like you had to dance around certain topics during a job interview just to cater to the unspoken rules set by recruiters? 🤔 Why do we have to pretend to be in it for the long haul, when in reality, we might be exploring different opportunities in the future? 🤷♂️
It’s frustrating to think that some recruiters are just looking for the easy way out by avoiding re-recruitment in the future. But isn’t that their job in the first place? Shouldn’t they be prepared to handle turnover and find suitable replacements when needed? 💼
So, what can we, as job applicants, do to navigate this tricky situation and still make a lasting impression during interviews? Here are some possible solutions:
– Be honest about your career goals and aspirations while still being respectful of the company’s needs.
– Showcase your skills and experience as a valuable asset that can benefit the company in the short and long term.
– Ask questions about the company’s turnover rate and how they handle recruitment to gauge their approach to employee retention.
Let’s start a conversation and share our experiences. How do you handle the unspoken rules of job interviews caused by lazy recruiters? Let’s empower each other with knowledge and strategies to navigate the recruitment process successfully! 💪✨ #Empowerment #CareerAdvice #RecruitmentStrategies
Have you ever been a recruiter? I think context is important.
If a role is closed for two years and opens back up, that’s fine. Nobody is going to be upset by that.
If a role closed and opens every six months, and the search is tough, or the hiring manager is super particular, or any other list of things that could keep it open longer than necessary, then no. *Nobody* is going to be excited about that, and you’re lying to yourself if you think you would be.
Us: “So what is it that you do at your job?”
HR: “TCB, you know, taking care of business.”
That’s a Seinfeld reference. The moment you mentioned George Costanza, I thought of the episode where Kramer pretended to work at a corporate office popped into my mind 😂
Why would you tell them you are not sure about your future? Of course they will reject you.
Lmfao. That’s not why they’re asking you that question. It’s because there is a cost to onboarding an employee, so businesses incentivize recruiters to look for people who are going to stick around long enough for them to recoup that investment.
If it were up to recruiters, they wouldn’t care. They’re just there to get butts in seats.
re-recruiting is job security, why would we care?
External recruiters don’t get paid unless you stay for x time at your job.
Internal recruiters normally don’t care, they hand you off to the manager for the team that is looking. Those managers would rather not go through the process at all and thus would rather hire someone that doesn’t quit soon so they don’t have to be distracted by recruiting.
OK, the second part (unsure about long-term) I get – it’s just the way both employees and employers work these days, no one spends 20 years at one company any more, so they need to get the hell over that.
But the first part is reasonable. If the company needs someone in location A, and you’re not in location A, and don’t want to relocate to location A, then yeah they’re not going to hire you to work in location A…
