Venturing into Reddit and Blind and seeing all the hatred towards recruiters is really interesting. I mean I get some of it, being ghosted sucks or having someone reach out about a job that isnt relevant is annoying. A lot of misconceptions though.

How many jobs have you seen get filled due to nepotism where the candidate was a "Friend of somebody" already employed or a "Relative of somebody" already employed? Despite you having better candidates to select from that wouldn't have conflict of interests and have no pre-existing relations to anybody already employed in the company? --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp 'Once Upon A Time in Mexico' ...

We tend to try and make sure the panel is one that is unbiased and that the person doing the referral isnt a part of the process in any way. Hell the other day we had an executive referral but none of the interviewers knew that so it would be unbiased and the person got the job. Thats not to say that nepotism doesnt happen at some level but were a larger company with some checks and balances in place. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Now that I think of it, a lot of recruiters are attractive women and they reject people for a living. Wonder if theres a parallel there with resentment towards women. The other week someone on LinkedIn went off on me because I didnt respond to his message. I was on vacation and he messaged me asking for advice on getting a job because he has been unemployed a few months. I didnt answer and he went off about how I didnt give a shit about anyone and he doubted I ever helped anyone. The sense of entitlement really hit me, I dont owe him any response since he was just a random person on the internet but reading all the negative comments about recruiters not responding makes me think of how men whine about women on dating apps ignoring them lol ...

I guess Ill turn this into Cleos gripes about her job. Today I had to reject a candidate. He didnt take it well. Got super mad and said I was the one to reach out to him and he spent hours interviewing only to be told he didnt get it. Seemed to think that because we engaged him it was a given hed get an offer. Kept arguing about the feedback and said he was insulted. He seemed to think because he does a similar job with the same tech it should have been a done deal but the problem was he wasnt able to explain any of the tech in any depth or explain why hed use one over the other. So that was a no go with our engineers. This is why a lot of recruiters just ghost or dont share feedback. Not saying its right but a lot of people cant handle it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

TheGoldenEel posted... I mean, #2 is basically saying that you want to waste potential candidates timeNot exactly. Im just saying Id rather talk to them first to better share the right range and not waste their time. Hard to do that in a message. If they absolutely require it then Ill share. Also my company pays super well so Im not too worried about hitting their number. For the right candidate I can usually make any offer work but candidates dont know this. And its other factors I can add like sign on, equity, etc that are typically flexible and not in a range. Just easier to cover all that in a conversation. ... Copied to Clipboard!
