I'm interviewing over 50 candidates a week, and I'm now convinced my radar for good candidates is weaker than ever. It feels like the same thing over and over again. I'm afraid I'm losing any ability to sniff out the gems. Does this happen to you? What do you do to get out of the rut?

Try mixing up your interview format, involve different team members for fresh perspectives, and take short breaks between sessions to reset. Also, revisiting the core skills or traits most critical for the role can help sharpen your focus on what truly matters.

If you've been interviewing at least 10 people a day you may just be burned out on it. It's impressive that your company is seeing to hire that many people in this economy, but it must be wearisome to be in the trenches like that. If possible take a step back and let someone else on the team handle some of the interviewing. Sounds like you may need to look away for a while.

50? wow! Is this for one position or multiple?

After a final interview, how many days after can I expect an answer from the recruiter?

At the end of the interview, the person told me I passed the interview and they were going to talk to the Director who’s a level under them. It’s a yes for them and they’re happy to work with me.

I also sent my references. I don’t know when I can expect an reply. Recruiters from that company aren’t really organised

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

Growing up was rough. On my 8th birthday my dad had an accident that led to this death a few days later. He was a good man who took care of us all (I had 3 siblings now 2; lost 1 few years ago). I'm in a good place in life right now I only find myself in the last 5years shedding a tear once a while when I'm alone. It startles me because I was a tough kid who didn't cry and just soaked it all in and rolled with it. I'm almost 40 and can't explain what's happening with these tears.
