The job search is so nerve wrecking.
I had final techno manager round which was completed on 30 Mar, and after ugadi holiday, on 6th I have received the positive feedback and confirmation mail and asked to share the payslips and relevant documents. Still waiting for the offer letter. Called HR on 20th April for the updates, she told she is working on my offer and it will release soon. Any ideas on this fishes?Cerner Corporation
Ok be honest, candidates. I really love this set of questions, I’ve been considering shifting my current interview style to these questions - I think they really give you an idea of who this person would be within the work setting. But the questions almost feel too deep for a recruiter to ask. What would you think if a recruiter took a different path and asked these questions instead of the usual ones?

Hi! Excited we have a space finally :)
New to Fishbowl?
unlock all discussions on Fishbowl.
Introduce yourself. Thank them for taking time to speak with you. Manage the conversation by telling them the what …
Before we begin I would like to tell you about xyz company and the role.
Keep it as a conversation.
We are a small non-profit. We go around and introduce ourselves and say what position each one of us holds and how each of us contribute to the mission. Our first question is always why do you want to work here. This gives us an insight to see if they have visited our website to learn about what we do. Then we always give a short bio about our agency and the work we do in the community.
Stay silent and see how long it lasts. Whoever makes a sound loses.
Hi, this is (name) from (company) calling to talk about the (job title) role. How are you?
Yeah I feel like this is the simplest and easiest option, you don't want to overwhelm the person on the other end!
Make it quick and easy. I’m ______ a recruiter here at ______. My job is to ______. Our goal today is to ______.
Tell them your name, your role, tenure with the company, and your role’s relation to the position that you’re interviewing for.
I start by introducing myself, confirming the pronunciation of their name (nothing worse than presuming when you are unsure and saying it wrong the entire interview), I ask how their day is going or if it’s as sunny where they are as it is where I am just to have some easy small talk and hopefully lessen their nerves. I tell them a bit about my background and then shift the conversation to them talking about themselves.
Love this! It's true that job searching, interviewing, and networking can be challenging, especially in today's tough market. It can feel like a full-time job in itself. It's important for interviewers to remember that humanizing the experience can make all the difference. As someone who has been in the candidate's shoes, I know firsthand how nerve-wracking it can be. As a recruiter myself, I try to remember that not everyone is great at interviewing, including myself. Some interview panels can be overly harsh and forget that they were once given an opportunity. It's important to show a bit of grace and empathy in the process.
State enough of your background and experience for them to know you have relevant and helpful experience for their benefit, such that they will view you not as a “screener” but as an expert who can them in the process, a trusted resource. (Which you should be anyways). People like stories. Tell your story not to brag or drone on about yourself, but rather how what you have done will command their respect and feel they can draw upon your expertise when they need it

Manager 1 has a good answer. I introduce myself, my position, company, say how long I expect the convo to go, and give a short elevator pitch on the company (you can get some basic info from your company's website). I rarely ask anyone if they know anything about the company since most people don't do their research like they're supposed to.
I ask them if it is still a good time and let them know that I will be taking notes. I will even say if it is there is a brief pause it is me catching up in my notes.
Hi! My name is ________. It's hard to pronounce so just me _______. My pronouns are he/him. How do I pronounce your name? My plan for our call use to _______. How does that sound?
