You called 590 people who applied for the job in your organisation on phone one after the other to find out all these?

You must be a superhuman or you are telling us a super story

Khafsun:
Is. That so


You're the one who is unprofessional not the candidates. Once you give a call, you immediately introduce yourself and why you're calling before they utter a word. "Good morning. My name is Femi. I'm calling regarding an application you made to...... for the position of..... Is this....?"

Not "Hello, how are you?" it's within their right to be cautious to someone whom they can't ascertain is on the line. You could be a scammer trying to steal some of their details. In fact, in this day an age, with AI, some scammers require just a sample of your voice and they will be able to authorise and meander through major security checks. So because of your unprofessional ways and 80k job. They should always lose guard.

The point about them not remembering they applied to your work means you're not aware of the realities of hiring. So you expect them to make only one application once per month for a company that might not even acknowledge your application or make them in hundreds per day. It's clear you don't know it's both a game of numbers for the recruiter and the applicant.

In a normal professional setting, you're meant to email these candidates, informing them of suitable dates or time for a phone call. Not just call whenever and be say they didn't pick up.

It's clear that because you were retained after NYSC, you have no idea how recruiting and job applications work. Arrogance and ignorance.

You have a really good point but you sounding like you are one of the candidates

Angelfrost:
Op, you've spoken well... But, I hate to disagree with you...

Employability can not and should never be restricted to those points of yours. Honestly, it doesn't even make sense.

Determining a person's employability or suitability for any role solely by appearances or how well-written his resume simply points to erroneously and unprofessionally judging books by their covers.

If you remove these superficial and unprofessional prejudices and test them starting with written exams, followed by verbal interviews of those who pass, you would be shocked that the highest-scoring won't even be the ones with the finest packaging.

BennyDGreat:
You are right but even written exams cannot be a perfect screening method because most of the exams are GMAT based. If a candidate did poorly, it's not a proof that the fellow is unemployable.

In my opinion, if you attended a good University and graduated without sorting your way, you are employable. You just need training.

How about folks who got job because of their relatives working in certain places even with a 3rd class degree...the same place would bounce someone with 2:1 for not having a good resume

Angelfrost:
I understand your point... However, the exam is only necessitated by the large volume of applications.

NairalandGossip:
Good write up but please next time, encourage people to embark more on entrepreneurship. Job don cast. Job that only 30 people are needed, you will have over 3000 applicants. No be juju be that?

Stories for the gods..

If you don't add a bit of lie in your resume, nobody will call you. Recruiters are looking for only two things in a resume; Experience and Achievements.
If you lack in any of these, you need extra grace. It's not by using figma designs on your resume...

About the phone call, I honestly wouldn't like a recruiter to contact me through a phone call, anybody can just call anybody. Reason why banks will always tell you not to attend to phone calls about your account. That's why there's an email. Even the email is not a personal email, it has to be company email

Also, are you the only recruiter offering that same kind of service in Nigeria? I've lost count on the number of jobs and the company names I applied last week. If a recruiter calls me and start asking me random questions I will fall because I don't know the particular one I am being asked about because I didn't use one resume for all

Finally, the biggest scam in Nigeria is the issue of character. Character is good, but it's not a big factor. That was how they said a degree is in character and learning, yet, some lecturers don't even know the faces of their students. Infact, some first class students are cultists. Are they first class in character too?

Na only God go help us for this limited job market
