I usually don't post on this discussion forum but I thought that I should. I would like to discuss a couple of factors that have been posted on this board. As a Recruiter we are usually hired by the company . The person we may/may not have Is the Human Resources person. However, most half descent recruiters will deal directly with the hiring Manager. There are several factors that may come into the situation. 1) Experience- although the resume may not clearly reflect your experience- it is up to you to include some transferable skills. 2) Technical Depth- I may not be expert on Security but I attempt to listen to both my applicants and my clients.- The current economy allows companies to now take their time and sift through the various candidates . 3) Personality- The most important factor that candidates may/may not know when you go out to an organization.This is one of the most important things. If you do not get along with the Manager or if there is a personality conflict based on approaches, management , group dynamic. You may agree that you are all professionals but you must be able to like each other in a professional manner. Most candidates are not even aware of this factors and it is usually up to Recruiter to convey that message in an efficient manner. 4) Feedback- This is one of the most frustrating factors that may come into play for all concerned. When a recruiter has feedback he conveys it if not he/she will attempt to get some sort of response . We all attempt to conduct our jobs professionally. In short, I know that negative comments have been made about recruiters. I would also like to state that I have dealt with some very rude and abrupt candidates and some exceptional candidates. I know that I am not be the perfect recruiter nor do I attempt to be, however, I do my job to the best of my ability and if that is not good enough for my candidates or clients then I would appreciate some honesty and candour as to how I can help you( CLIENTS & CANDIDATES) better.
