If you’ve ever been involved in the hiring process you know how frustrating the process can be.
One of the toughest parts is getting candidates’ to accept a position we know they're perfect for or they interview only to be offered a role for them to then take it to their current employer to get a counter offer/salary increase to then either blank the recruiter that has put hours of work in or for them to be honest and say the real reason why they interviewed.
What candidates don't tend to realise is the amount of work we actually put in - it isn't as easy as it sounds. We aren't handed interviews we have to research - build a connection with our clients - we offer a calibre of candidates and when things like above happen to recruiters it can actually be very damaging to the business as it makes them look like they don't know what they're doing.
So In an effort to understand what makes a brilliant recruiters please remember we need our candidate to also be forthcoming and if it is for a alternative motive please understand that recruiter who has spent hours helping you - has KPIs to meet then has to break the news to the CEO pr business manager thar their targets aren't as expected. It also can effect another candidate from getting a interview of you have been offered instead.
It can effect someone's career.
Please let us help you for you as this is what we're passionate about and if it's just for a salary increase be honest with your employer. Most will listen without having to use a recruitment agency.
