Bad Recruiters VS Good Recruiters🔎

Hello, fellow working pals. How are you?

Did you celebrate Labour Day?


I'd like to pinpoint the source of the recent bad social media posts against Recruiters.😈

No, I am joking; I am not that horrible... I was a Recruiter in the past, therefore I wanted to explain a few points about their defence.

But for the time being, allow me to continue my irreverent writing and reveal some of the most horrifying things they can do.

Recruiters play a vital role in linking candidates with job opportunities, but there have been legitimate complaints and terrible experiences with them. 

Here are some often-cited "bad facts" or negative aspects about them.

Some Recruiters fail to adequately disclose information about the position, remuneration, or organisation, leaving prospects unprepared or misinformed.

Candidates frequently have early interactions or even interviews and then never hear back, leaving them with no closure or feedback. Ghosting!!👻

Some others pressure prospects to accept offers fast or apply for opportunities that aren't a good fit in order to fulfil quotas or earn commission; particularly in technical or specialised sectors, Recruiters may lack a thorough understanding of the profession, resulting in poor matches or miscommunication indeed.

Many candidates receive generic or irrelevant messages, indicating that they haven't thoroughly read their profile.

Should we discuss Recruitment Agencies??😶

They frequently behave like spammers, sending bulk emails or LinkedIn messages with little or zero customisation or context.

Or what about the poor candidate experience they offer?!

Slow responses, a lack of communication, and a transactional tone can all contribute to an overly stressful job hunt... 

However, here are some practical guidelines for identifying a good Recruiter and protecting yourself from harmful ones:

1) A smart Recruiter will take the time to understand your professional goals, preferences, and what you're searching for, rather than simply pushing a job.

2) They're transparent and are open about:

  • Salary range
  • Interview process 
  • Timeline
  • Company challenges or culture

3) They communicate regularly. Good Recruiters keep you informed, even if it's simply to say "no news yet." They do not disappear when you submit your resume.🤝

4) They Give Feedback. Whether favourable or negative, they provide important input following interviews when possible, and will advocate for you if you are a good fit.

5) They respect your time. No last-minute requests, disorganised interviews, or excessive phone calls; they are organised and considerate of your schedule.


In conclusion, while certain persons should be eliminated from the category, it's important to realise that most recruiters are merely executors. 

They do not make decisions; hiring managers do. 

However, it is they who bear the brunt of the abuse.😤

Almost all of them are quite busy! Assume a recruiter is working on an average of 15 to 20 roles at the same time, reviewing 200/300 applications and interviewing 10 to 20 people for each.

So the next time you have a bad candidate experience, remember that it isn't always their fault...😉

Company Events 💃

Hello everyone, Did you enjoy my introduction? If you have any questions about my world, please feel free to ask! Today, I want to officially start the editorial section, and the first topic will be Company Events.💃 These events are unique because they can have different dynamics and nuances. I remember when I was a fresh intern, I used to love attending these events! They were a great opportunity to dress up in my fancy outfit, enjoy free drinks and dinner, and if I was lucky, I could even flirt with a nice colleague.🤪 However, as I progressed in my career and climbed the corporate ladder, my feelings about these events changed, and I began to dislike them.   First of all, once you reach a certain level of "status," you are expected to act as a role model. But in my experience, I often saw Managers who were so intoxicated they could barely stand and made a scene in the middle of the dance floor.   Should we discuss the stress of event preparations? As a People Manager, yo...

Health & Safety Trainings👷🏻‍♂️

Image
 Happy Friday, guys! This week, I want to discuss Health and Safety Training. 🔨🪓 Where do we even begin? Health and safety training is important, but it can be mind-numbingly boring. Do you remember the mandatory courses you have to repeat every year, even if you spend 95% of your time just sitting in front of a computer? Those training sessions that convey the same information in slightly different words each year? You know, the ones that deliver life-saving reminders like, “Don’t run with scissors” or “If there’s a fire, leave the building.” Wow! Revolutionary, right? And let's not forget the two-hour module dedicated to explaining how to lift a box.😑 Unfortunately, there’s no escaping these sessions! Whether it's a video or a live instructor, there’s always that one voice that could put an espresso-fueled toddler to sleep. And even if you finish early, you still have to sit through the entire time block because... "attendance." Safety training often contains a l...
