Why it's important to have workers who actually care about what they do. Especially in the field of recruitment or HR.

No way. What happened???

Oh man, what did they ask you?

I am currently an insurance agent, but I have experience in IT. I am trying to pivot into tech sales. The whole time the recruiter was asking why I left IT and why I didn't want to stay in IT. I gave her a valid reason, but it was sufficient for her.

Yes, i agree. I have interviewed for the past 2 weeks and i have never had this experience. I felt like she had no interest in hearing me out.

Interrogated? OK. That's one approach....I mean I get it. You have to get to the bottom of gaps and career changes. But there is definitely a certain way to approach it so it doesn't feel like interrogation or hostile.

Yes.. and i answer them but we kept circling back.. different strokes for different folk i guess

They probably ran out of questions and were just killing time lol

What's up with recruiters these days. Are these posts from the same recruiting company? This is the second post I read about how bad recruiters are today.

What are they even doing if they're straight-up harassing the prospects? Gosh. Wish companies did something about bad recruiters

Hi Fishes,

I have given my interview in HCL and cleared 1 TP, 1 hcl manager & Client TP and Client Manager rounds .
In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .
I have 9.5 years total experience and role is Storage Architect.
Thanks
