Candidate asks: Should I drink before interviews?

No matter how many interviews I attend, I always become incredibly anxious. Even when the interviewer tells me at the beginning that it will just be a casual chat and that I shouldn’t panic, my voice still trembles and my mind goes blank I know the answers, but my thoughts are complex and layered, and everything comes to mind at once. I want my solution to be optimized and perfect but I struggle to express myself fluently because my brain is overwhelmed. Ironically I tend to perform well in interviews for jobs that I don’t care about as much I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and adhd, and I also have perfectionist tendencies. I’ve tried therapy, but it didn’t work for me. So I wonder if a little bit of alcohol is going to help me before interview submitted by /u/one-buscuit [link] [comments]

Why filling light-industrial shifts feels harder than ever (and what to do about it)

Light industrial staffing has always moved quickly, but lately, the pace has become almost unmanageable. Agencies are expected to cover hundreds of shifts across industrial sites, often with little notice. Finding workers has become increasingly difficult due to labor shortages, higher turnover, and last-minute cancellations. Even among the most dedicated recruiters, some shifts still fall […]

Reddit: Candidate had mental health episode – do you tell client?

Scenario: -candidate spent almost 6 years at the same company (so obviously was doing a good job) and freely admitted to me that she had a mental health episode and was off 8 months. -the company was acquired in year 4 of her 6 years at the company and she spent one year working there post-acquisition working before the mental health episode -they they let her go citing a lack of work (consulting company) after she came back to work -she is an excellent fit for the role and client I’m an external recruiter and have helped this client hire 6 people over the last two years and we have an excellent relationship. Part of me feel’s like it’s no one’s business about the mental health episode – candidate didn’t even have to tell me but chose to becaue we have built good rapport. The other part of me feels that if I were an internal (staff) recruiter I would definitely tell the hiring manager. Do I tell the client about the mental health episode? submitted by /u/Agent99Can [link] [comments]

What I’ve learned after screening 1000+ candidates

I’ve reviewed over 1000 candidates in the last year and one thing stands out every single time. Most people think recruiters only look for skills or titles. In reality, what catches my eye is clarity. If someone can explain what they did, why it mattered, and how it moved the needle for their team, that person immediately stands out. The hardest part of hiring today isn’t finding talent. It’s finding clarity. What’s your signal? submitted by /u/EarlyAtmosphere7 [link] [comments]

Do recruiters expect gift bags at career fairs from fair organizers?

I’m organizing a career/recruiting fair at my organization’s annual convention. I was originally planning on putting together gift bags for the recruiters, but the more I think about it, it’s the recruiters themselves bringing their own swag and display items..do they need to receive random plastic item from us? I’m going to give them each a copy of our org’s magazine, a bottle of water…I was going to print out the itinerary but the itinerary is extremely short and simple and I’ll be emailing them it beforehand anyways. They’re also getting lunch from us. Is this ok, or am I being rude? Thanks. submitted by /u/PansyMillbank [link] [comments]
