Comment on: Blog Post '10 Tips From Corporate Recruiters That You'll Ignore Anyway': #8 is a very good point, but job seekers need help in this arena. And I as one who practices the idea of trying to have just one interview process active at a time would appreciate help from recruiters and HR personnel in this regard. When you tell someone they will hear from you in a certain length of time, please contact them, don’t just relegate their emails to the trash bin and ignore them. If they are not in contention for the position let them know. They need to move on to the next application process so they can at least have a chance of finding employment where they would be a better fit. It is only common courtesy. Jean-Louis Carrara • Like so many things, these are helpful communicating rules that will be broken by both sides depending on the people and situations, thank you for posting them. As for the candidates, we have to show energy and motivation, and still not get too attached to the result. With enough motivation (and time), we can always identify and reach the hiring manager..... Will Thomson, • Hi Jimmy, thank you for your response. I 100% agree with your statement. Recruiters absolutely should let candidates know when they aren't selected for a role. Sometimes bad news is hard to hear, but it helps both parties move on. Will Thomson, • Hi Jean-Louis, thank you for your response also! Looking for a job is a full-time job. It is hard not to get attached to the end result. We wouldn't be human if we didn't. I think everyone reading this (including myself) have been disappointed at some point in their lives by not being selected for a role. Hopefully though, this showed some insight inside of a recruiters head and it helps others land their dream job. I just completed my personal website and you can subscribe to weekly updates at www.wthomsonjr.com. Cliff Collard • Much of that advice is a 2-way street. Respect and trust are things that both sides need to build. - If I tell a recruiter that I have not been in a particular role for 3 years and I don't do it anymore, stop emailing me job reqs in that area. - If I list my availablity over then next week, don't try to schedule something in a time I have specifically told you I am not available. You are asking me to disrespect the person who has scheduled a meeting with me in that time block. - If I block out time for you, show up! - If you send me a LinkedIn Connect request, I WILL ask how we know each other if I don't remember meeting you. You can avoid that by gently reminding me in the connect request. - The first time you contact me about an entry level job, I will give you the benefit of the doubt. The second time, I will assume you don't know how to read a resume. Will Thomson, • Cliff, thank you very much for the response. You bring up some very valid points. Unfortunately, in the recruiting industry, there are some recruiters that aren't great. Check out this article. Very interesting and sad to say the least. http://bit.ly/13poQNU I like to think there are more good than bad, but I think a lot of recruiters get generalized. Recruiters should not try to get you into a role that you are not interested or a fit, but there are a lot of recruiters who simply try to fit a round peg in a square hole rather than finding the right opportunity. A candidate wants an opportunity that is interesting, exciting, and builds on your current skill set. I 100% agree with you regarding Linkedin requests. (BTW- I just sent you one because I like your comments). I receive countless requests without a reason and that really bothers me. When I ask "Why", you would be astonished by the number of people who don't have an answer or won't bother to return the e-mail. I am going to respectfully disagree with you about interview times. If you want to interview and if it is a fit, both parties have to be willing to give a little. Sometimes managers schedules are so tight that you may have to rearrange your schedule to interview. We will try to accommodate every way possible. When Amy and I wrote this article, we were really referring to people trying to get into a company, not a recruiter trying to convince someone of joining a company. I can only imagine the frustration of fielding tons of recruiting calls in the high tech industry because you have the word "Java" in your resume. Again, thank you. Will You are right on about my perception of the Recruiting Industry. There are good and bad - experience helps distinguish between them quickly. My comments about interview times were more a general complaint about scheduling, including phone screens. The dialog commonly goes something like: Appointment seeker: We need to meet for an hour. What is your availablity next week? Me: Preferences are Tuesday or Thursday afternoon. Any Morning will work and I can probably reschedule my conflict on Friday. I am not available Monday or Wednesday afternoon. Appointment seeker: Then how about Wednesday at 9am? I am simply amazed that scenario plays out more often than choosing from the 80% of the time I can be available. …; Added by Will Thomson at 4:13pm on April 23, 2013
