Another company missing out on great candidates because their recruiters are awful. I applied and heard over two months later (which is fine with summer vacation and covid) and then had a phone interview with the recruiter. Questions in regards to the job were okay, but definitely not thorough enough for the hiring manager to then evaluate the candidate accurately. They also keep the phone call really short, so it feels time pressured to answer questions and there just wasn’t enough time to really discuss experience and skills. How can you get to know your candidate with only a couple questions? Give candidates more time - we’re not just numbers on a piece of paper. I had so many ideas I would have loved to share with the hiring manager, and that’s where they miss out by not vetting well enough. My biggest disappointment with this interview was how monotone and unenthusiastic the recruiter was. People you’re interviewing are excited to speak with you, and when you give off a negative vibe, it feels off putting to the candidate and makes for a very discouraging interview. Also, as someone who LOVES the travel industry, it was disheartening to hear their recruiter sound SO bored by the role, the company, and my experience. It’s really an ode to the company’s character when a recruiter sounds burnt out and could clearly care less. I’m a big believer that excitement and interest in a job and industry weighs more than checking every box on a job description. So it’s clear they lack enthusiasm for their work and recruitment process, and therefore miss out on some great people.
