Top Three Reasons A Recruiter Doesn't Call!

Roxie will hear complaints from candidates she has met with about the fact that they have not been placed. A typical complaint is "I signed up with you months ago and have not gotten a job".

First of all you don't sign up with a recruiter, you may meet with them which is a really smart way to increase your chances of finding work as you search on your own. You are not paying a recruiter honey (if you were they you could complain all you like) the client is, so a recruiter is only going to focus on filling the jobs they are currently working on.

To follow are a few reasons that your recruiter may NOT be calling (these are the hard facts)

1.) the right fit has not presented itself (you may be fabulous honey but I have not seen the fabulous company that will benefit from your talents and qualifications)

2.) it has been a while and you are off the radar (keeping in touch is two-way street, you need to be top of mind so reach out once in awhile let me know you are still looking)

3.) You failed the interview with the recruiter (you may not have had the qualifications for a specific job or you are not the type of candidate the recruiter is looking for. Where you late? Do you have the skills required? Did you chew gum and answer your phone? Are you under qualified for the jobs you are applying for?

Things to consider before you register a complaint, Recruiters want to help you it is just that we are paid to find the best possible candidates with the specific qualifications that our clients are looking for. It may not be YOU but if it is YOU rest assured we will campaign for you to get the job!
