Every time a resource reaches out to a recruiter or Every time a recruiter utters the question “ Are you looking out for a change?”, we trigger a series of responsibilities.
- A person unknown to us, trusts us with a lot of information. Which includes their job, their salary. And if you are good recruiter you will even have them talk about their personal commitments, being the reason for change. A person with a stable life wants you to help them get into something better than they already have. The moment we collect this information, it becomes our responsibility to help the resource in best possible way.
- When you are a recruiter, you are not just being a recruiter. You end up behaving and becoming a best friend, mentor, counselor, marketing executive, sales executive, sometimes a psychologist too apart from a recruiter. That’s too many responsibilities we cannot ignore.
- The most important thing we all should remember and understand is whom are we representing to the resource. It doesn’t matter if you are in a Tier 1 company or a small counsultancy, for the candidate you are the point of contact. You are representing your company and your client. So your behaviour will impact the opinion in the eyes of the resource. You become the identity of an entire organization. That’s a huge responsibility.
Let’s not be a recruiter.
Let us be “Responsible Recruiter”
