Do you ever offer advice or tips to candidates who don't get hired? I feel for everyone in tech right now and honestly feel bad sometimes when someone with a solid resume is passed over.

I always used to give candidates advice if they interviewed to help them be more competitive in the next round. If they didn’t interview I would just explain why they weren’t selected and keep in touch with them. Job hunting shouldn’t be a secret, a recruiter’s job is to ensure the success of the business and the candidate.

Sometimes I give advise about how someone can interview better. E.g. if their response was too general and we were trying to get examples from him/her but I also don’t have time to give feedback about resumes.

I never have done this but I don't think it's a bad idea (it just seems like maybe it would be a time suck when you have so much else on your plate). I think if you take someone through a multi-stage interview process, it might be the considerate thing to do to give them a few notes or some feedback.

It's pretty uncommon for people to give feedback to a resume in my experience. I think it's a nice gesture but it seems like nobody has time for that these days. The hiring process already requires a LOT of time and money.

I rarely do, maybe I should more often. It usually just comes down to bandwidth for me. Too many candidates :(

Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager. Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.

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.

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!
