I’m very active in my work community and lead an employee resource group ( host over 30 activities a year) does that mean a lot to recruiters?

I hope it does! Hosting 30+ activities sounds like a huge leadership lift. I'd love to know if recruiters see this as a differentiator or more of a “nice to have.” Feels like it shows initiative, culture-building, and cross-functional influence—but is that something recruiters actively scan for?

Maybe it does depending on the job you are applying for? I can see that working for an event manager for example!

It means a lot to me as a hiring manager. I can find a coder, dime in a dozen, finding someone who actually cares, that's a different ball game.

Absolutely. Leadership in ERGs and community involvement shows initiative, collaboration, and impact beyond day-to-day work. Recruiters notice candidates who contribute to culture and can influence others positively.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time.
