10 Things Only Recruiters are Thankful For
The job of a Recruiter is a tough one as it requires juggling many projects, candidates and clients. Days are spent sifting through CVs, chasing up candidates, organising interviews, screening candidates and arranging meetings. So here are 10 things recruiters are thankful for.
1. A candidate turning up to an interview
Too often we hear that a candidate’s car has broken down, or their great aunt was abducted by aliens so after many hours spent finding the perfect job for the right candidate, there is nothing better than hearing that they turned up to the interview. Turning up to the interview gives a 100% greater chance of getting the job!
2. Answering the Phone
In today’s modern world nobody is ever far away from a phone or a mobile so it is great when someone actually picks up the phone and answers!
3. A full job Specification
Knowing exactly what you expect from a potential employee helps us enormously in finding a candidate with the skills set required.
4. A CV
If you come to us then we are grateful for any CV, because no matter how poor or outdated it is, it will give us something to help you work on. Our team are happy to help polish your CV and make it shine but not having any information makes for a trickier start.
5. Candidates being prepared for the interview
Preparation is key when getting ready for an interview, the right smart outfit, with the right attitude coupled with the right CV and references will give you a great chance.
6. Having good references
A reference can make or break a job search, a good one can secure you that dream job.
7. Having the right software available
Modern technology can be amazing but when things go wrong it can be a nightmare!
8. A liquid lunch
After a long week working we can all admit to enjoying a liquid lunch and for us there is nothing better than celebrating a fruitful job search. Happy candidates and happy clients equal happy recruiters.
9. A good brew
In our job, there are a lot of phone calls and discussions so we are forever grateful for a good cup of tea.
10. Manners
Good manners get you far in life, a positive attitude and a smile will rub off on everyone around you.
