If someone has a job, as the recruiter you have to be more respectful of asking for time out of their day. They may not want to talk ad-how in the middle of the day, and have lots of work commitments to work around. You can’t just ask them to show up on short notice. Someone without a job is thrilled to interview somewhere in short noticed and is happy to field calls in the middle of the day.
- jiveturkey 8y agoNot sure I agree. As a candidate you can simply decline calls and call back when convenient. If asked for an in-person on short notice you can simply state you need more lead time. I would much rather have the recruiter be aggressive, giving me the chance to slow it down or keep the pace up.
- avmich 8y ago> you have to be more respectful of asking for time out of their day You have to be respectful always, right? Not only when you have a leverage? > You can’t just ask them to show up on short notice. Someone without job can have other things to worry about. You can always ask, of course, but you shouldn't just assume and proceed from that.
- mathattack 8y agoYes respectful always. Just that it means different things for different people. The are calls and requests that may thrill the unemployed also annoy the employed.
