Candidate shortlisted by you is already shortlisted by some other vendor? Is this happening regularly with you as a recruiter? Don’t worry! This is very normal for a recruiter. But if this keeps happening, then you might lose the client.
If some other recruiting vendor is scheduling an interview for your candidate, then it is not good for your company profile. Here are the two solutions for this issue;
• Sourcing: Start sourcing profiles where no other recruitment agency is looking. Social media can be of great help here. Social media can tell you if any other agency has posted the same job or not.
Check the comments on the post. You can sieve out those candidates who have commented on the post.
• Framing right questions: During the preliminary discussion, you can ask the candidate whether they have applied for the company or whether they got a call for the same role. If they say yes, then ask them other details such as location, designation, name of the vendor firm, etc.
Duplication of candidates is a waste of time and money. Duplicate candidates will destroy your image in the eyes of the client.
