How generous that candidate was…… 🥹
While working on a business development manager role, I contacted a candidate. I was astonished to know that he had 17 years of experience in this field. 🤯
The conversation started like any other until he said, “To be honest, you won’t find any candidate with these requirements at this budget.” 🙄
Since he had massive experience, I was extremely curious to dig out at least some insights and learnings so I asked him, “What budget would be suitable? How can we find relevant candidates specifically for this much experience? And so on…… .
If he wanted to, he could have ended the call, but instead, he guided me and shared his wisdom about the role! That was an amazing convo, lasted for 15 mins and taught learning that will last forever!
I was stunned by his humility. Sometimes, a candidate doesn't just answer, but inspires!
Have you ever had a conversation that left you with more than you expected? 🙂
