Asked for the resume, received the offer letter? 😂

Yess, hard to believe but it's recruitment, filled with thrills, surprises, tragedies and unexpected offer letters in your inbox. 🙂

Honestly, that’s no way to manifest your next job. 😅

Bold move? Yes. Helpful? Not really.

Imagine applying to a college with just your tuition receipt from another school. 💁‍♀️

In an era where even a typo can get you rejected, what happens when you submit something entirely different instead of your resume? 🤔

First impression? Ruined! 😭

Next time someone asks for your resume, please don’t send your medical report instead. 😅

Talent is your biggest asset. Do you treat it that way?.......

Because if “We offer peanuts, but expect lions” is your hiring motto… then it's concerning! 🥶

These days, talent is onboarded like royalty and then treated like expired Wi-Fi — ignored until things stop working. 🥲

Here’s how it usually goes vs. how it should go :

🔴 You’re lucky to work here.

🟢 We’re lucky to have you.

🔴 Annual appraisals with generic feedback.

🟢 Ongoing check-ins with real growth conversations.

🔴 One-size-fits-all job descriptions.

🟢 Tailored roles based on strengths and career goals.

🔴 Free coffee as compensation for burnout.

🟢 Real benefits that support mental and emotional well-being.

Because talent isn’t a cost. It’s an investment. 

So next time you wonder why they left — ask yourself, 👇🏻

◻️Did you treat your asset like an asset or just a line item? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hiring isn’t hard. Hiring without a partner is!

(Unless your idea of fun is reading 300 resumes 🥲)

Let’s simplify it for you :-

❌ We’ll handle hiring internally. How hard can it be?

✅ Two weeks later : burnt-out manager, 47 interviews, and still no results.

❌ We posted the JD, but no one’s applying!

✅ Because candidates don't scroll LinkedIn praying to find vacancies. Sometimes we need to approach them! 

❌ We’ll close this in a week.

✅ Reality : It's week 4 and you're negotiating with someone who ghosted twice already.

❌ Recruiters just forward resumes.

✅ Good ones (hello 👋) match skill sets, check intent, and save you time AND sanity.

You can hire alone, just like you can cut your own hair. But... should you? 😅

“I have trust issues” — said every corporate person pretending they don’t. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Welcome to the workplace, where "I trust you" is usually followed by a five-paragraph email and a Zoom call to confirm what was already confirmed. 🤣

Let's take a glance at how TRUST ISSUES play out in the corporate chaos :- 

❌ Manager : “I believe in full autonomy.”

 👉 Also Manager : Tracks your online status like it’s a stock market chart.

❌ Colleague : “We’re a team, always got your back!”

 👉 Also Colleague: CCs your boss on a minor typo like it’s a breaking scandal.

❌ Client: “We fully trust your expertise.”

 👉 Also Client : Sends a revision request that contradicts the last revision request... that they requested.

❌ Leader : “I empower my people.”

 👉 Also Leader : Has more trackers than a crime docu-series.

✅ Solution?

Simple — schedule a meeting to "build trust," then cancel it last minute. That’s peak corporate healing. 🙂

Or better — just put "TRUST" in bold on a PowerPoint. Works every time. 🫡

Trust in corporate is like free Wi-Fi. Everyone says they offer it, but it rarely works when you need it most. 😮‍💨

Follow AideWiser to discover the corporate spice! 😏

“I have great attention to detail”...... said the person who didn’t read past the subject line 😂

We love it when candidates (and sometimes even clients) flex their attention-to-detail muscle, until reality checks in like your dramatic EX. 🤭

Here’s how it usually goes :

❌ Assumes once something is sent, it’s magically read, signed, and framed on the wall.

✅ Double-checks: “Hey, just confirming you received this and if there's anything else you need.”

❌ Joins the next meeting like it’s their first day on Earth.

✅ Shows up with context, questions, and, you know… awareness.

❌ Says “Got it!” to everything… and then forgets everything.

✅ Actually takes notes. And action. Revolutionary, right?

Attention to detail isn’t about big words, it’s about tiny things that avoid big mess. 🤠

Because in business, “Oh I thought you’d send it” has never closed a deal. 🫠

HOPE is not a hiring strategy…..❌

Yes, praying to the hiring gods, manifesting a ‘rockstar candidate’ won't get you the top talent! 

Here’s what some companies still do:

🟡 Post a vague JD and hope someone decent applies. 😑

🟡 Offer average pay but hope for above-average talent. 🤑

🟡 Ghost candidates and hope they’ll still be interested. 👻

🟡 Delay interviews forever and hope good talent waits. 🥱

Good candidates don't sit around meditating on your job post. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A real strategy, speed, communication, and a partner (like us) who doesn’t rely on horoscopes to fill roles.

Remember 👉🏻 actions matter the most....🙌🏻

Contact AideWiser at recruit@aidewiser.co.in for your hiring needs! 

You don’t need more resumes. You need better screening…..💡

Collecting resumes without filtering is like swiping right on everyone on a dating app and then crying about red flags later! 😭

This is what happens when you go for quantity over quality….

🔴 MBA in Marketing : But thinks that sales and social media are same. 🥲

🔴 10/10 Resume : 2/10 Communication Skills 🫡

🔴 Open to Relocation : As long as it's next to their favourite chai tapri ☕

🔴 Fake Experience : Real Confidence 😶‍🌫️

🔴 Resume says ‘Team Player’ : Refuses to turn on camera on group call. 

Don't chase ‘MAYBE’ candidates ❌

Let us screen smart to make your hiring feel like a win, not a wild guess. 

Contact AideWiser at recruit@aidewiser.co.in for your hiring needs! 🙌🏻

Client wanted 3 hires in 45 days. We did it in 28 days….. 🤩

Because sleep is overrated, and coffee exists for a reason.

HOW?

– JD clearer than a breakup text 🎀

– Real-time feedback ⌚

– Candidate calls faster than food deliveries 

– Zero ghosting (on both ends, surprisingly!)

– No “let’s put this on hold” mid-process drama 🎭

RESULT? 

3 hires. 28 days. 🤯

No astrology, just accountability. 🫡

If you're still taking 3 months to fill one position... maybe it's not the talent pool. Maybe it's your hiring strategy. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Let’s fix that. Contact us at recruit@aidewiser.co.in to make such miracles possible for your business! 

They tried for 6 months. We closed the role in 2 weeks…😏

Role : Product Manager – AI/ML background

Experience : 6+ Years Experience

CTC : 48 LPA

Location : Mumbai

WHY WAS IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM? 👀

🛑 Overfiltered resumes 

🛑 Confusing JD 🫨

🛑 Slow replies 🥱

🛑 Unreal expectations

🛑 “Let’s wait” (Their motto) 

HOW WE DID IT? 😉

🟢 Sharp screening 

🟢 Clear pitch 

🟢 Active follow-ups 

🟢 Strong network 😎

🟢 Zero nonsense

We don’t just close positions. We end hiring sagas!! 😇

The endless search for ‘Cultural Fit’....😩

“We want someone who fits our culture!”

So do the skills take the back seat? 🤔 Maybe, maybe not! 

So the hunt begins, 

Candidate A is brilliant… but too quiet. Might not vibe with our ‘Fun Friday’ Zoom dance-offs. 🤡

Candidate B cracked the interview… but didn’t say ‘Good Morning’ exactly the way HR likes it. Deal breaker. 🤧

Candidate C is a great leader… but asked what our ‘culture’ is before saying yes. Red flag, obviously. ❌

After countless interviews, were you able to find that cultural fit GEM 💎? 

(Silence) 😑

It can't be denied that culture fit is an essential element or criteria but is it the only priority? I doubt it! What do you say? 🤠

Gen Z, and the ‘Why Should I Work for You?’ Question…👀🤷🏻‍♂️

Interviews in 1990s be like….. 

Interviewer : Why should we hire you? What impact would you have? What expertise do you offer? 

Candidate : I'll do……

Interviews in 2025 be like……… (UNO REVERSE 😂) 

Gen Z candidates ask :-

🔶 What's your vibe as a company? 

🔶 Do you offer mental health leaves? 

🔶 Will I get flexibility? 

🔶 Will I receive consistent increment? 

Mic drop! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do you agree with Gen Z's? 🫠

How to break hearts?........... 💔

“Sorry but your profile isn't shortlisted…… ”

A one liner which crushes the confidence of many, shatters dreams of some and breaks a few hearts! As a recruiter, isn't rejecting distressing? Maybe, maybe not because why spoil results with emotions! 

But let's at least take a glance at the journey of a candidate :-

Apply for 100 Jobs 🫡 

Why hesitate to apply? Rejection is free anyways! 

Resume gamble 🎲

Add those “Excellent communication skills” (Only in chats 🤭) 

Endless interview prep 🥱

Google “Top 50 HR questions” as if it's the UPSC exam.

Surviving rounds after rounds 🥸

Facing questions like, “Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?” (Candidate : Definitely not in this job 😏) 

After such a journey full of struggles, you hear.. 

Thanks for applying, better luck next time 🙏🏻(Sounds like you tried but maybe shouldn't have) 

Then what? You question your worth and the person who told you “You're talented!”

You become a philosopher at 2:00 AM, reflecting on the tragedy! 

But it definitely takes skill to crush a soul with a smile!.. 

But tell me, dear candidates, what hurts more : The rejection or that awkward "Let's keep in touch, we have your resume in our database!”? 🫠

How generous that candidate was…… 🥹

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? 🙂

The perfect resume or a perfect illusion? 🤔

Fluent in Python, expert in AI, blockchain enthusiast and born with leadership skills! Sounds like Elon Musk? But the reality often feels more like copy & paste from someone's LinkedIn… 

Why does a perfect resume sometimes seem to be a perfect illusion?

💭Buzzwords Bingo 

AI? Machine learning? Data Ninja? 

Half the candidates can barely explain them but they just mention it for that ‘WOW’ reaction. 

🏆🥱Achievements Buzz 

“I won the ‘star performer’ award, ‘best employee’ award,......many more!” But guess what? Majority of the stuff is as authentic as reddit stories. 

😎Skills Section 

Fluent in 4-5 language (Condition : By using google translator) 😅

Decorate your resume but don't make it unrealistic, forcing HRs to verify for a reality check! 

What are your views about ‘PERFECT Resume? 

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'?

I just want the offer letter, not the job……

What do candidates exactly want? Some candidates want a job and some… just want an offer letter! 

Candidate: I need a job urgently! Please process my application fast.

Me : Of course! Here’s a role that matches your profile.

Candidate: Perfect! I'll apply for it! 

Me : Sure 

So he applied and in a few days we scheduled his interview. He aced it and seemed to be the right fit for the role. Client shared with him the offer letter. 

But then what? 

On the date of joining, the client tried contacting, we tried reaching out but it seems he ghosted after grabbing the offer letter, just to get appraisal! 

If you just want an offer letter, why not design it on Adobe? It will save your as well as the recruiter's time! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Have you encountered such candidates? 

Job Description VS Reality……🤭

Are JDs like dating profiles? They sound perfect until you actually meet!

JD : Looking for a dynamic personality ready to lead projects with creative freedom! 

Reality : You will execute whatever the boss instructs till 11:00 PM. 

JD : Work life balance is our priority. 

Reality : You will get emails labelled with “Urgent” at any time! 

JD : Competitive salary based on industry standards. 

Reality : Your salary is a mystery, even to the HR. 

JD : Exciting growth and self development opportunities. 

Reality : Oops, company's priority first, self development later! 

JD :We value transparency and open lines of communication. 

Reality : Your concerns will be acknowledged and then forgotten!! 

But hold on, here's the difference. At AideWiser, we ensure JDs match reality. Because a great hire starts with the integrity, not a fairytale.

What are your views on this? 

The recruitment paradox………

Client : Find me a candidate with 10+ years of experience but under 30 years old. 

Me : Means someone who started working as a teenager? 

Client : We also need a candidate with IIT/IIM background and the budget is ₹10 LPA. 

My honest reaction : So the right fit would be a genius working for charity?? 

The paradox doesn't end here, let's see the candidates’ version, 

Candidate : I want a remote job with ₹12 LPA, 4 day workweek and other facilities. 

Me : What's your experience? 

Candidate : I'm a fresher. 

The paradox in recruitment is never ending and then people say, “Why's there a mismatch?”🤷🏻‍♂️

A 5 mins chat, half an hour interview and then friendship?.......... 🙌🏻

Recently I had shortlisted a candidate after conducting a few rounds of interviews. His interview was scheduled with the client. 

The next day, his message popped up. When I checked the message, it was his music video. 

It was impressive though it surprised me for a moment because why would a candidate showcase his hobbies to you assuming you are his buddy? 

But of course, glad to have connected with that candidate well because who said hiring has to be all serious? A little human touch never hurts, just as long as my DM is not flooded with good morning and good night wishes everyday!😅

Did you become friends with any of your candidates? 

Ringing… Ringing… Ringing… spam?

We all ignore unknown calls because who wants to discuss urgent loan offers or win a fake lottery, right? 

But what if I tell you that an unknown call could be the life changing one? A candidate kept receiving calls from an unknown US number for a month. The candidate ignored them all, assuming it was spam. 

Later it turns out, it was Amazon's recruitment team! When he finally realised, he tried calling back, only to get a “call not monitored” message and lose a rupee as a fee. Peak comedy of blunders and blunders… 

The candidate must have realised : Rejecting an unknown caller too fast could cost losing a dream job….. Opportunity could pop out at any time like relatives in weddings, be ready! 

Did you miss any call that could have changed the fortune for you?
