You all would be astonished to hear about this coincidence! There was a role of technical recruiter in Nagpur - super niche, with a long list of skills and criteria that would make anyone’s head spin.
I scrolled through resumes, swiped various profiles, browsed my network but couldn't find the right fit! Finally after endless searching, I found one candidate who ticked all the boxes. It seemed like match made in recruitment heaven 😅.
Her resume wasn't updated so I dialed her optimistically, “Hi! This is the role, and your profile matches perfectly….”
She listened and calmly asked, “Ok. Interesting but what's the company name?”
I shared with her the name of that client. Then she replied, “Oh! That’s my previous company. I left that role, and now you're trying to find my replacement!”
Mic Drop!!!!!!.....
Her auraaaa++++++ after this was…….😅
I was stunned, but since her resume wasn't updated, the previous company mentioned in it was different.
I realised that next time onwards, I should check the company's alumni list before pitching a role!! 🥲
Has such a coincidence happened to you? Keen to hear!!
