Hi all, Noob question. When I am sourcing, I tend to find candidates who are a great fit but then wouldn’t work for 1 reason or another. for example. 3 months into their current role so the likely hood of wanting to move is low. What tools do you use to make a note of these otherwise perfect candidates? Do you have a spreadsheet? Do you use LinkedIn projects? Just keen to know best practices! Please share away 😊

Hey :)

Do you have an Applicant Tracking System? I would use “tags” to save them under different categories and add notes to their profile on what you liked so when a similar search comes back up, you can search your database.

If not, then yes projects on LinkedIn and adding notes to profiles would make sense.

Spreadsheets are a nightmare but if you’re working at a company without any tools then that could be a very temporary solution. They need to be maintained and if you’re using it for sourcing it will be a huge spreadsheet.

Also - don’t hesitate to reach out to someone who hasn’t been in a new role for long.. they might have just stated and absolutely hate it there.. maybe it’s not what they thought it was. Sometimes we make decisions for people before even talking to them / reaching out. You never know ;)

I’ve been in my role for 3 months & know it’s not right for me. I feel as if I was sold a different role all together. I think teaching out to someone that has been with a company for 3 months is the perfect time.

Today I learned a new thing. One candidate was referred by a colleague of mine in the system. He got selected and offer letter rolled out.

When he checked the system he realized the referral was not taken and the background system captured it as direct hire.

So my friend is not going to get any referral incentive.

Wondering if anyone else faced the same issue?

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.

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!
