Recruiters, when you're down to two to three top candidates and have to choose one amongst them, what is the skill/trait that you most rely on? In my last interview, I got told I'm a top choice, but I'm wondering what I can do to make sure I am the final choice.

When you get to assessing tiebreakers, one thing that always comes to mind is what someone would be like to work with. There are lots of brilliant people, but we usually need people who aren't just smart but who can work well in a team. So intangibles like how personable someone is or how cooperative or supportive they may seem, can carry weight.

Friends!
I think bowl leader is clear in his pinned post that we refrain from excessive negative posts and posts that my hurt people’s sentiments.

Understand the freedom of speech at the same time we should be aware that the spoof of Goddess Durga’s image posted below is offensive to a bunch of us; similarly a poster from EY calling people cow urine drinkers is offensive.

Would request people to refrain from knowingly hurting people’s sentiments.

What’s the best way to make your email stand out to a recruiter?

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
