Not On Your Schedule

The right fit is not always there on your schedule.  Too many times, in recruiting, we run into a friend, acquaintance, or candidate that is looking for a change and they want or need it to happen now.  Out of a job, can’t stand where I’m at, finally realized that this isn’t the right fit or best fit for me.
This is your schedule and the rest of the world doesn’t adhere to your schedule.  While there is surely a better fit available, it may not be the right fit, a great fit.  All candidates should land in the right spot, a great fit.  For that to happen, they’ve got to be aware, at least open to considering the fact that the right fit may just be coming available now.
That’s not the same as always looking for a change.  It is simply understanding that it’s a big world with a lot of moving parts and the right fit may come available at any time.

Making Businesses Better

Job Seekers typically see things from the perspective of their career, and that is understandable, but recruiting is not about careers. It’s about building great companies or making companies better. Great careers and great career moves are a by-product. In a lot of cases we feed the misconception. “Find your ideal job at XYZ Company”. Everyone’s skills are needed somewhere. The key for a candidate is to find the place where their skills and abilities are needed to make an organization better. That’s the best career fit, and that’s the situation where everyone wins. Great work in recruiting is always centered around making businesses better. Todd Kmiec Todd Kmiec and Associates

The Interviewer's Shoes

All kinds of goofy things happen in interviews.  Crazy questions.  Bluster.  Fluffed up claims of accomplishments and skills……etc. It’s a good idea to put yourself in the interviewer’s shoes.  Ask yourself what they want.  What the interviewer wants is to hire someone who will do the job they need to fill really well.  To make an impact on the company and to make the company better, more profitable.  If you can’t do that the interview is pointless.  If you can do that, you just need to show them that you can and will.

Ghosting

Ghosting has become quite a thing throughout the recruiting world.  Going completely silent (non-responsive) when one decides to go in another direction, loses focus, or doesn’t know what to say at the moment is not confined to the dating world anymore. There have been hiring managers that have done this for quite some time and now candidates are regularly ghosting as well.  Regardless of the situation, it’s a bad look.
