Have had trouble getting new hires for a particular company and I'm not sure exactly why none of the people they're offering to are taking the bait, save 1. How do I figure this out? Is it appropriate to ask people why they are turning down the role? Must be something wrong with the place that I have not picked up on...

You absolutely can (and should!) ask for feedback as to what led to a candidate’s decision to decline an offer. This may provide insight you hadn’t considered and can lead to changes (ie is the salary not competitive, is the team not engaging, etc). We learn a lot from candidates by asking these questions and make it a regular practice on my team. You can then use this data to help drive any changes wirh the business you support and improve your hiring practice in the future.

Totally this. Also, once you've determined what the problem is, you can also decide if you want them as a client.

Can you hire me 🫣

You can deifnitley ask - I tell recruiters the truth. It might be that people aren't willing to switch to a new place when things are so uncertain, they're feeling comfortable OR they want some kind of internal promotion or growth, Lots of different factors!

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back. One of the reason I left is because I felt I had too much energy for the city for a single young professional, but now husband is from there and we have a kid but we are both social people. Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?

*URGENT JOB NEEDED* - BDM/E-com account management roles
Hey all, as I see a lot of recruiters in this group I wanted to know if anyone is hiring for BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER or E-COM ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT or VENDOR MANAGEMENT roles.
My husband is relentlessly trying to get a job in Canada/US but he is getting either regret mails or no response for referrals.
It would be really helpful if there is anyone is hiring for such roles or if you can refer to those roles in your organization. TIA :)

I’ve recently left my job (unhappy with it) and am applying for new work. I have a few irons in the fire at the moment. I’m curious about a trend I am seeing: I like to think I’ve well documented my abilities and functions in my CV, as well as my portfolio. I’ve noticed that for some of these jobs that I can check every single box in the job description, I won’t even get an interview. I’m wondering if many of these jobs are posted for internal hires, but some stay open for weeks. What gives?

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!
