Great write up Amy. I've had roles from hiring manager to recruiter to applicant and am now a Career Coach. Through all of these roles, I have observed these kinds of differences and behaviors. I have always scratched my head at it. While I have consistently assumed that this kind of behavior is reflective of a corporate culture, I have become increasingly convinced of it recently. I am also working very hard with my clients to get them to believe and act on what they're experiencing. I am also…
Great write up Amy. I've had roles from hiring manager to recruiter to applicant and am now a Career Coach. Through all of these roles, I have observed these kinds of differences and behaviors. I have always scratched my head at it. While I have consistently assumed that this kind of behavior is reflective of a corporate culture, I have become increasingly convinced of it recently. I am also working very hard with my clients to get them to believe and act on what they're experiencing. I am also increasingly certain that Company A is reflecting a culture that does not respect it's employees and that this would be the first of a pattern that would cause your client to become very disappointed and unhappy with his job.<br />

As you move into the role of a recruiter, it would probably be very good for you to remember what your client is going through currently and the likely consequences to the company.

If Joe is being treated less than expected with company A now, what would happen if he were actually to accept a position, should that happen? Will the culture/climate change dramatically? Doubtful~Go with Company B makes sense to me..

Being the occasional techno moron, I managed to delete my riveting and insightfully humorous posting. But the key was the quote I found by Eleanor Roosevelt (no, I was not there, but I was at Woodstock), "In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond."

LOL Marc - way to inject some reality into it... you know it wouldn't surprise me! The only bright spot is that I am not representing Joe in any way other than as his state-paid employment counselor. I have no commission depending on this and tomorrow's my last day here anyway. :) I will have to keep in touch with him so I can give you all an update!

<p>Company B extends the offer, Joe gets ready to accept or does accept, then Company A magically inserts themselves back in the process, Joe gets starry-eyed and enthralled, forgets all the previous bad behaviour from Company A, and accepts the offer from Company A.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the comments. I think that's the frustration. Don't keep scheduling phone calls and then attaching silly disclaimers like "I'm so busy - if I don't call you at <em>the time I selected</em> it's up to you (candidate) to contact me to reschedule". SERIOUSLY? Ok that's not word for word but believe me the ACTUAL text was even worse. If he's not the guy he's not the guy... let him go.... I hope he gets an offer from somewhere else soon so we can dispense with this…</p>

Good write up Amy. I've been on both sides of the candidate experience and have been appalled how some recruiters even treat other recruiters as candidates!<br/>On the hiring side, I've worked with companies to create a good candidate experience and I've seen this really increase our offer to acceptance ratio. We haven't always been the highest offer but candidates have chosen us because they've had a seamless hiring experience. Basically, we keep the mess (if there is one) behind the curtains :). As far as I'm concerned, you can't over communicate when shepherding a candidate through the process. Even when we've declined a candidate, we've had them refer others to our company afterward.<br/>When I've been a candidate, I've been surprised at how often the ball is dropped in the candidate/hiring experience. <br/>It's possible he isn't the #1 candidate for Company A. But given the fall through of appointments and phone interviews, it sounds even more like they're just disorganized, and it could be very reflective of the culture and employee experience once hired.<br/><br/> Hi Amy,

I'm curious about the shift that is happening in regards to what job seekers are searching for in a position, and the ultimate job decisions they are making.

<p>Hi Amy,</p>
<p>I'm glad you shared this story with us, what a predicament he must be in! I'm curious about the shift that is happening in regards to what job seekers are searching for in a position, and the ultimate job decisions they are making. It would make sense, (wouldn't it??!) that job seekers would want stability and a high salary, given that the economy is still the way it is (though improving). Though, we are seeing this shift towards wanting "the whole package" which includes "the candidate experience." I'd be curious to learn more about what job criteria was important to job seekers (even) five years ago, and how that criteria has shifted or changed today.</p>
