Love these LinkedIn thought pieces from recruiters.

I rejected a candidate eight times.

But then decided to take a chance.

We gave him an offer without even speaking to him.

Seventy years later he’s running the company.

I discovered he was also my father.

And my mother.

And God, if you can believe it.

Sometimes people are more than eight automated rejections.

Next time, take a chance on the human behind the resume.

… Come on b we know you ghosted 20 people before lunch today.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
