What would be your reaction when a candidate does this? Hold on, hear the complete story.
Recruitment is like matchmaking but the match often disappears. We had a candidate seeking a job opportunity. She had a career gap yet she listed her specific conditions,
“I need a remote and part time job. I'll work only on these terms……”
After an epic struggle, we found a suitable job for her…… but the job went on hold after sometime.
She followed up every single day, “Is it active? When will it be active? Is it even possible?”
Finally, the job became active again. She applied. The first round went well. Things were smooth.
And then suddenly she disappears…..
No responses to emails, calls or messages. Ghost mode on!!
Ironically, she didn't even inform us that she doesn't want the job anymore… …
Some candidates want a job while others just want to test the patience of recruiters and keep them on their toes, so five stars for suspense, zero for professionalism!
