What candidates don't like about recruiters

1. Not respecting candidate's time

For candidates who are intending to change jobs, it is not desirable for employers to call them during office hours and call constantly. Because then the information they are about to change jobs will be revealed. So, if you don't need anything, you can call them outside of business hours, or it's best to email them, they can actively reply to you at any time.

2. Do not read the candidate's information in advance

Don't let the candidate realize at the beginning of the interview that you've just read their resume. They will be extremely disappointed and feel disrespected if you constantly ask silly questions about the information they have presented on their resume. Therefore, before interviewing, you should review the candidate's information to know who you will interview, what position you will interview them for and what situations you will ask them. This will help the candidate get excited and show off his skills during the interview.

3. Not listening to candidates

Don't just listen, listen. You always want candidates to pay attention to what you have to say, the same goes for candidates. Listening together, talking about the position that the candidate is applying for, this will help the candidate feel comfortable during the interview and they will actively communicate with you. Thereby you also assess the personality and skills of the candidate. Absolutely do not respond to the candidate with silence, a forced smile or the words "yeah", "um", "ok".

4. Wrong recruitment information

There are candidates who share that they went to interview for positions A, B, and C, but when interviewing, the employer asked about positions X, Y, Z. This makes candidates frustrated and frustrated because they do it. They waste time in vain. They will probably talk bad about your company to their friends and relatives and advise them to avoid applying to your company.

5. Be very excited during the interview and then stop communicating

When interviewing, you often compliment candidates, you say they are suitable for the position you are recruiting, you negotiate a salary with them, you make the candidate feel happy and hope to be hired. However, after that you went unanswered, they did not receive any contact from your company. In fact, this is not uncommon and this will make job seekers frustrated and distrust companies.

Hopefully the above will help you learn from experience in recruiting to create more sympathy for candidates. Good luck!
