You're missing out on the ghosting tragedy.. 🤯

You're missing out on the ghosting tragedy.. 🤯

Everything changes, but ghosting remains the classic tragedy. 😅

You connect with a candidate, things go well but when you're about to close the deal, the candidate vanishes faster than your weekend. No calls, no replies and no apology!!🥲

But why last moment heartbreaks? 🥺

1] The grass is greener syndrome 🤑

They received better offers; more money, free snacks… 

2] Job searching as hobby 😮‍💨

Some people are just bored so they pass their time by wasting other's. 

3] Fear of saying ‘NO’ 🥶

Confrontation? Too scary? They’d rather ghost than decline politely. 

But what do we learn? We've learned that not every candidate is serious, ready, or aware they applied in the first place.

In the end, recruitment is like dating; you swipe right on many but sometimes you're left on ‘READ’…😶‍🌫️

Have you been left on ‘READ'?

Sirrr I need a job urgently!! Sorry I was joking……….😆

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!

Deja Vuuu : How small the world is??

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!! 

When you forget to use your brain, but not your company's email…… 🤭

Need context? Follow me! A few days back, I was having a chat with my friend so he started narrating an interesting incident ……….…………….

Well, I was scrolling through the inbox of the company's mail. While scrolling, an email caught my attention. When I opened it, I saw a colleague applying for a job role from the company's email. This left me stunned and laughing!!! 

Nothing could be more humorous than this, you think? Hold on there's more to it! Just out of curiosity, I dived into details and his resume. His resume seemed to be a masterclass in chaos. 

He had copied a template but forgot to remove the original name from other pages. This is what happens when a robber doesn't know how to rob😅. So the resume was, “Copied and sent by him, presented by (Random)!!” 

After witnessing this peak comedy, I've a tip for you all! “When you borrow a template, at least remember to own it!” 

Be clueless, but don't be brainless! 😂

You should immediately apologise to me! 🤫

You should immediately apologise to me! 🤫

A few days back, I was doing client acquisition. I dialed a number, and client received the call. I began with, “Hello, XYZ!”

He responded casually and the discussion was initiated wherein I was pitching about the details.

Suddenly out of nowhere, he asked me to hold on and interrogatively asked, 

“What's your age?” 

So I replied, “I'm 24 years old.” 

He just burst out on me and went on to yell about, “Is this the manner you address a person who is 60+? You should add ‘Sir’ or add ‘ji’ while interacting with a person who’s senior to you..Don't you know the Indian culture, corporate culture, Blah, blah, blaa, blaaahhh……... !!!” 

Maine socha, ajj mera din kharab hai ya inka din kharab tha joh mere upar gussa nikal diya pura!!! 

After schooling me on this silly topic for almost 20 minutes, he was like, “YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY APOLOGISE TO ME!” 

Fortunately, I managed to escape and assured him that I'll keep this in mind from the next time. Then he finally hung up the phone call, I was relieved! 

I still wonder, does adding ‘Sir’ or other salutations add respect to your name or your actions and behavior do the job? 

How a single hiring decision changed Google's fortune?

When hearing about google, the popular names that come to mind must be Larry Page, Sundar Pichai or Sergey Brin but you're wrong. In 2000, Google's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, interviewed Eric Schmidt for the CEO position. Schmidt was initially reluctant to leave his executive role at Novell. This interview changed the future of google as the contribution of this person led to astonishing progress! 

Both the founders tested Eric's technical knowledge and they realised his potential instantly! They made him an offer and he joined the firm as CEO. Under his leadership, Google touched new heights by launching valuable products like Gmail, Google Maps and Android. This single hire became one of the biggest turning points in Google's journey to dominance! 

A decision holds immense value of either building an empire overnight or destroying it within a blink! The type of decision you take matters!
