Recruitment is not easy unless you are open taking rejections on your stride.
Candidates reject you.
You reject candidates.
Hiring managers reject your resumes.
Candidates get rejected at interviews.
Candidates reject offers.
Candidates accept offers and then reject it.
Clients withdraw offers as they find some discrepancies.
Reject... Reject.... Reject and the last one standing gets selected.
Story: A senior IT candidate who had been job hunting for the last 3 months gets an offer from our client. She is super nice, gives us good reviews but doesn't sign the offer as she was given 2 weeks to decide. In the meanwhile, she got 4 offers from her previous interviews and she was considering roles that were nearer to home. The commute is always a big problem. She declined our client's offer after thinking about it for 2 weeks.
Question: What could have been done differently?
From a job searcher's perspective.
Do you want to find a new job? Then you need to be okay with the pain of handing out a hundred resumes and going to a dozen job interviews and being rejected by every single one of them except one. From Neil Pasricha "You are awesome".
