Lol this is how it always is - we have to work sooo much harder to convince people when it was actually is a really good candidate!

Exactly. I know there are some situations where it's best to keep looking, but in other situations...wouldn't it be better to actually hire someone than make the search for a new hire your full time job?

This is literally your job. To find the right candidate- the right match. Not the easy candidate or the easy match. Dig in and do the work to find the best candidate, and use a manager’s rejection to get valuable feedback to help your search for the next profiles. Your results will improve. Be objective and stop taking it personally.

Any advice on how to get clients to pay your invoice on time / what to do when they don't? I'm currently working with an agency who agreed to net 30 terms, but has been late with every invoice so far...It's probably a lost cause on this particular job, but Im wondering if there's anything I can do in the future to avoid this situation. Does anyone charge a fee when invoices aren't paid on time? Or is this just par for the freelance life?

Thank You.

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!

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.
