10 Unprofessional Attitudes by Recruiters.

Creating a positive interview experience for candidates is key in the hiring process as it impacts on your brand and ability to attract top talent but often at times, in the bid to meet up with deadlines, we overlook some acceptable behaviors and gradually, these becomes entrenched as our culture. Some of these that have creeped into the way we treat candidates are:

1. Failing to apologise for delayed Interview sessions and thinking it is acceptable to keep candidates waiting endlessly.

2. Not stating the time period that candidates should expect to wait for their interview to aid their effective planning.

3. Sending out interview invites within 24 hours and expecting candidates to show up for it.

4. Inviting out of state candidates especially recent graduates for interview without any provision for a transport fare.

5. Not sending out timely feedback to unselected candidates especially those that have moved beyond the first stage. (Job profile should state that only qualified candidates would be invited except where there is an automated system in place).

6. Harassing candidates and disguising it as Stress- Interview.

7: Interviewing candidates that came later rather than following the order of arrival. (Contestable?).

8. Making an issue about employment gaps and disqualifying competent candidates on that basis.

9. Intentionally Intimidating candidates and making them feel uncomfortable either by staring hard at them and asking questions that are suggestive and full of innuendo.

10. Highlighting candidates mistake in a derogatory manner rather than correcting respectfully or making snide remarks during panel interviews.

(Do you have any that you can add or have you ever been subjected to any of these, please feel free to share).

Let me take a moment to get you into the Christmas mood.

Stop ⛔ Exaggerating Your Answers During Interview.

It may be tempting to present your career journey and achievements with a few or more exaggerations, but it's important to consider the consequences of doing so.

It is important to note also that exaggeration is a LIE.

When recruiters ask you a question, the answers are to be given intelligently and concisely instead of stating things that never happened or exaggerating them.

Example: You killed and Rat and when you are explaining it to a recruiter, you will tell them you killed a Dinosaur, this always happens when you are told to tell your strength or achievement.

Sample questions and how to answer:

1: Tell us what are your strengths.

Possibly Answer: I can quickly adapt to new situations and environments and I am comfortable working in a fast-paced organization where I can deploy my skills as seen in our conversation and in my previous organizations to add value to your organizations.

2. How do you handle Stress and Pressure?

Possible Answer: Avoid claiming that you have never or rarely experienced stress, rather give your answer in such a way that highlights various workplace stress and how you were able to overcome it and use it to your advantage.

Remember to adapt your responses based on your personal experience and give specific details that are in line with the role you are applying for.
