Dear Employers and Recruiters

When someone seeking for a job opportunity makes a bold decision to reach out to you, may you kindly respond! Job hunting can be lonely, daunting and demoralizing. An acknowledgement, referral, or just a job search/preparation tip can go a long way.

It can be a struggle, especially when messages come from various applications (indeed, LinkedIn, email, symplicity, handshake, etc.) but I try to get to everyone that reached out, or sends a message showing interest, even if I’m a couple days late.

I agree with this sentiment, having been on both sides of the coin. Unfortunately, when you are fielding hundreds of applicants all by yourself, for each job opening you're trying to fill, a personal response simply isn't always possible. At the very least, though, you should be sending automated replies to at least acknowledge the applicant and let them know they're in the queue.

Good Morning all,

Since I pivoted into TA (from the Wild West known as Finance) Tech Recruiting has always been the goal. But I’m having a hard time finding a way to get into that space (I do understand there’s a hiring crisis). Nevertheless, does anyone know of tech companies that are hiring? I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi fishes, my friend recently had a bitter experience with Dish Network. So her profile was shortlisted and they asked few questions over email. It did take good 2hrs to answer and she replied back. HM said we are good to go for interview and sent an invite. On the day of interview nobody turned up, neither they gave an update later. She did follow up for a couple of days but no response. Is there any reason why this happens ? Me being in HR field felt this to be a little unprofessional.

Hello! I’m a Talent Acquisition Manager at a 300 FTE sized gov contractor with 2 recruiters under me. One of my recruiters and I are both having babies in August and will be out for 12 weeks.

Or any advice for a short term solution?
