Recruiters-how would you feel if you knew that the emails candidates were sending were being tracked by the candidate ? I have an extension that allows me to see when an email has been opened…

Hi Spark Foundryer

I'm guessing you're asking this because you've been ghosted by recruiters?
I think if a recruiter is of that mindset, they'll likely not care much sadly.
However there are some of us who try and reply to all personal emails, even if it's to say we can't help.
Nb. I run Media Recruit and am ex Publicis myself

I think for applicants, there is ambiguity of emails we’re read or not so we follow up. This would call out recruiters and say “I know you read my email at x date- following up”, sort of call them out…

I don't think I'd be too bothered by it. I mean hey, we recruiters use all sorts of tools and tactics to track our own emails and applications, so fair game, right? Plus it's not like you're doing anything shady. You're just trying to get a sense of whether your message has been seen and if there's been any interest.

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??

How early is it to early to take a week off ?? So I just started a new job a week ago.My office is really lenient and supportive of people traveling. But I still feel bad about it.

I recently saw a job opening at a company that I really love, and would like to apply. The recruiter has posted it on her Linkedin several times, each time with multiple hashtags about diversity. I am straight off the Mayflower white. Does applying look super tone-deaf? Is this an unofficial way of stating that they’re only considering non-white individuals for the role?
