Every call matters.

As a recruiter as we are smiling and dialing we hear this all the time "I'm not on the market".

Many recruiters take that as a loss and move onto the next call.

Great recruiters look to turn every call into a connection.

Many of the candidates I've placed in my career said the same thing to me "I'm not on the market

I have several job leads and I’ve been interviewing since March within the same company. They have been slow getting back with me and I just received a call from a job I applied for two months ago. Now that I have a potential offer elsewhere, should I stay and wait it out or go to the tech company for a new start?

How do I professionally decline a second interview? I know for sure I don’t want to work at the firm.

Any Bain recruiters in here?

Got a phone call from a recruiter that they are working on my offer on Monday and haven’t heard anything back since. Anyone has any idea how long it would take and when would I should follow up? I dont want to sound desperate

Are all cases at McK the same? Or is McK RTS / Transformation group likely to give you a different case??

What are some red flags you've noticed in the hiring process? I've finally landed an interview after weeks of applying. I think it went well on my end, but something about the managers I spoke with just feels...off.

After a year and a half of recruiters not responding and no job prospects I’ve finally got a call back - for a barista job. I guess advertising is not for me. Back to what I did in college

Hi Fishes,

Yesterday I attended MS hackerrank test and was able to solve some Java based MCQ and one sql query correctly but not able to execute a code with any passed test case so should I expect a call from a recruiter for an interview?

What are some strategies for a current 3L looking for a job to overcome many jobs asking for several years of experience? Should I even apply? I have some experience from internships, but is it enough

If you’re working on a certification but still have not completed it, would you list it on your resume?

Is it not even worth to applying for a position if you do not meet the minimum experience listed?

I interviewed with a Firm in New York over zoom which was with an associate and two partners. Now they are requesting a second interview. I am from Florida so the interview process is different from what I have experienced. Any thoughts?

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.

What to emphasize/highlight about experience when interviewing with members of the business team? I’ve only ever interviewed with other lawyers so all tips appreciated!

Hi Fishes,

Need some suggestions. I gave interview on Tuesday, will it be right to ask feedback tomorrow or should I wait till the end of week and then ask for feedback on Monday Morning. Today, I didn't got any response from them.

Hi there! Does anybody have the time and energy to look through my resume and give me feedback? First time applying since being in school and would REALLY appreciate it

Reviewed a student book as constructive as possible.What I liked first about it then pointed out what needs work. Kid replied by criticizing my feedback in a rude condescending manner. What do i say?

Hi Fishes

I need help to decide
I have got 2 offers
1. Tigerhall - 45LPA
2. Zupee - 42LPA
Which one I should choose?
In Tigerhall, I will get a lot of free time as the work is same as what I have done so far in my career therefore, I can focus on more things now.
In Zupee, I will get to learn new skill which might be good for my career.
Also, comparatively in hand salary of Tigerhall is higher than Zupee (it will less tax deduction as it's a Singapore based company)
Please suggest

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

What are your long-term career goals with recruiting? Do you think you'll stay in tech? Or exit to something else?

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.

Any best practices on what has worked to streamline recruiting processes for devs?

2nd stage of our interview process is a technical challenge and a conceptual discussion (system design)

Do any of you have experience with structuring a technical challenge to where it's the same for each candidate? I've had it happen where our devs asked questions to each candidate based on their lived experience vs. a standard set of questions that revolve around what needs to be performed in a dev role.

Do you think you have to be an extrovert to succeed as a tech recruiter?

Hi everyone. Looking to see if anyone would be willing to network as I would like to transition to HR in tech. Any help or advice is appreciated. TIA 😊

A question for recruiters with knowledge of Applicant Track Systems (ATS). Do products like Greenhouse show if an applicant has applied at other companies? I imagine not, as it would be a massive privacy violation if that was the case.

What's everyone's best year look like? Direct hire revenue (not contract). Let's start a hopeful thread lol. Mine so far has been 350k. This year I was really hoping to break 400k but whether I make it or not is up in the air. Solo and Agency folks speak up!

We're seeing a lot of hiring freezes happening in the tech space, with the exception of some high growth startups. Is this affecting anyone else?

Agency recruitment managers! How do y’all set goals for your department? Do you focus on outreach goals, applicant goals, purely hiring goals no matter the outreach numbers, conversion rates, etc? Asking because I manage two recruiters working with different clients and both work with different styles, so outreach messages for one might not make sense for the other. Any insight would be so helpful!

Looking to expand my knowledge with tech recruitment and also management. Anyone have any advice?

What are some sourcing avenues you will use to hire niche positions?

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!

I'm not super happy in tech-specific recruiting and find it a lot more laborious than other verticals. We really struggle to find qualified candidates who are also willing to accept starting salaries and more equity. Sometimes I want to move away from this. Has anyone else felt this way?

How did you get into tech recruiting, and are you happy with it?

Any Microsoft recruiters willing to talk about your feelings of the pause of hiring in some areas? Should I be concerned my partner is a contract recruiter at Microsoft?

Or any advice for a short term solution?
