Recruiter here. Going directly to the source is alweays your best option, if that's an option. I exist because the hiring manager has only so many hours in the day to review X applications, let alone interview the applicants.
If you are lucky, I get objective criteria from a hiring manager who actually knows what they are looking for and assess the fit of your application in an objective way.
If it helps it bothers me that there's a need for my role and I try to automate myself out of the picture as much as possible.
- canadaduane 15y agoI'm curious, and maybe a bit skeptical. Why does it bother you that your role is needed?
- amorphid 15y agoI'm naturally frustrated by the fact that I know less about the positions I am trying to fill than both the hiring managers and the applicants. It takes a lot of work to learn where I can and can't add value.
- compay 15y agoThat sounds like exactly the kind of self-awareness and humility that will make you stand out and be successful in your profession. Kudos to you.
