Five Factors Recruiters Should Not Say To The Applicants
Of all the recruitment articles, one sees, there is a great deal of discussion around do’s and don’ts for the candidate. But there is another important dimension that should not be neglected. As one of the top Headhunters in Germany, we have learnt a great deal regarding what a recruiter should avoid saying to the candidate in an interview. As someone who has worked in German Recruiting agencies for a long time, we know that we are all human and are hence as likely to utter something silly as the candidate. So, here are the top 5 things which any recruiter should absolutely avoid saying in an interview: 1. “Which Celebrity Would Be Best Suited To Play You In A Movie?” Such questions do not help in ascertaining anything valid about the candidate’s ability to think and react in a particular business situation. It does not reveal anything worth knowing about their personality. There are a lot of other means to help youfind out whether a candidate is a cultural fit or not. 2. “We’re Looking For A Ninja.” 3. “I Wanted To Reach Out To You.” 4. “My Client Implies Business So There Is No Time To Waste.” 5. “Do You Have Experience With ASP.NET?” It is more or less like asking someone, do you know C hashtag. Always gain enough knowledge around the skill set of the candidate and also the skills you are recruiting for. This would not only help you understand candidate’s strength in the skill you are looking for but will also make him excited to work with you in future.
