Should HR put their emotions aside during recruitment?

This is something I’ve been thinking about.
As HR professionals, especially during recruitment, we are expected to be objective—focused on skills, experience, and organizational fit. But the reality is, we are human first.
We interact with candidates, hear their stories, see their efforts, and sometimes, it’s hard not to feel something.
So the question is: should HR completely set emotions aside?

What do you think?

Hi, anyone works at the fresenius? Especially as a dietitian position? What do you think about the company? Like benefits, insurance (I have to follow up with specialist), raise, work responsibilities, etc...? Thank you!

Hi fishes.

Any nurses here have a side hustle? I was thinking about starting something up. But 1- It has to be when I’m sleeping and 2- when I’m working. Sooooo

Looking for advice on career change. I’m a 45 year old single mom - I’ve been at my job for 18 years. I know I could be doing more. The job isn’t fulfilling and the workplace is rather toxic. The pay is pretty good - when I look at other open positions in my field / the pay is much less or the same. Honestly just unsure of what I “want” to do. Stay where I am and get a side hustle that may be fulfilling or change careers altogether. I’m a placement coordinator at a home care agency.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

Immigration lawyers had sent me a questionnaire to fill out for Manager PERM. They now just came back saying that they need to assess me for a different position. Anyone else experience this? I wonder if this means they’ll now just file a Senior Perm instead? Asked them but they’re not very responsive.

Someone here asked recently which candidate would be better for workers like us who are here legally with all the credentials, paying US taxes just like Americans. I kind of laughed inside and I still do. Why even ask? Did any other administration excessively hate us this much to the point the rules changed substantially gazillion times a year? Let’s be real. This is nothing more than direct targeting of us. How can anyone not know which is at least less worse? 😂

When I tell recruiter about other offer should I mention company name or that their a direct competitor or just say I have another offer?
