Let's have our opinion poll.😎 (Hit the SHARE button if your answer is YES & Hit the LIKE button if your answer is NO)
Do recruiters reject a candidate because of location, even when the candidate is qualified for the job?

I feel is better for a recruiter to reach out to a candidate and inform them if they are willing to relocate without company sponsorship. And allow the candidate to make their choice than cancelling a candidate just like that.

I have seen candidates indicate on their CV "available to relocate". Yet it doesn't help. I just believe that technology has made things so easy that you can interview a candidate remotely to ascertain if you can go ahead or not.

Job seekers are faced with a lot of pressure these days that they apply for jobs with fake addresses just to suit a job location.

Is it that we don't like a working system in the country or honest people? A lot goes on in this job-hunting and recruiting industry that can not be said and we don't know.

We need to do better.

I will like to read your opinion on why this happens, what are your thoughts?

Kindly let us read from your viewpoint, we sincerely want to learn, maybe there might be reasons as thought leaders and people who are into the system. We want to learn.

Thank you for your response 🙏

I think they do. Some don't even hide it anymore as they now tag their preferred locations with the job advert.

Of course it is only done in a dysfunctional system like it is the fault of an applicant to live in a particular area especially when that is where they can afford

Yes I was rejected in NDDC twice, in 2007 at Bayelsa State and Port Harcourt because am not from Naija Delta. They told me KOROKORO that they will not take me because am IGBO....and I wept and went solo.
