Many job seekers openly dislike recruiters. Often due to the fact that they had an unsuccessful experience in communicating with them: they did not hire, they dismissed unjustly. And sometimes you just want to shift your failures to someone, and a recruiter is great here.
And here is a stereotype in society: if the interview is conducted by a recruiter or HR, then nothing good will come of it. Sometimes it’s really worth it to bypass HR when sending a resume and go directly to the head, and sometimes it’s enough to change the attitude towards those who are engaged in the selection of personnel in the company from the start.
Perhaps you will be helped by revelations about what actually recruiters expect from candidates - which Work.ua tells about.
That you are the same candidate
You don’t need to think that the recruiter’s sole purpose is to simply ask questions at the interview that might deceive you and move on to the next candidate. By the way, incompetent personnel also happen, as in any other profession, but basically they all want to quickly close the vacancy and find the candidate of their dreams.
HR and the applicant should be at the same time, because the goals intersect: it is important for one to close a vacancy, for the other - to find a job. Go for interviews with the right attitude, HR is looking forward to seeing you and hopes that you are the right candidate.
What are you special
Each person is special. And here we are talking about the fact that it is important to stand out among all applicants. To do this, it is not necessary to create a copy of the company’s website, place banner ads about yourself or especially dress. It is enough to stand out with the help of a successful cover letter and confirm in real time that you wrote not empty words. But if you have an interesting story in store from your biography or something else that will help you to be remembered and stand out, use it and you will win.
What did you come prepared
To prepare is not only to remember what is written in the resume and cover letter, and to confirm all the facts. It is also to find out as much information as possible about the company, prepare an answer to the question why you want to work in it in advance, carefully study the vacancy and prepare an example for each competency you need, so as not to waste time interviewing. Well, in general, tune in to the fact that at the interview you need to talk a lot about yourself and answer all the questions of the interviewer.
And immediately advice: carefully listen to the questions of recruiters - often the answer is already hidden in them. If you are offered a hypothetical situation, do not lock yourself in while thinking what an eychar is an idiot. Better think about a solution to the problem. Better yet, reason out loud so that the interviewer can follow your thoughts. Reflections will show Eicharu that you own knowledge and know how to apply it. Speak according to the plan: situation → task → action → result.
What do you ask substantive questions
Because this is the only way to understand what is of concern to you: a person with what specific skills they are looking for, how soon you can achieve an increase in the company, what are the prospects for personal development and other topics that you need to ask a recruiter for an interview.
Also, only you know what can become a cool motivation for you and what will bring you pleasure from work. If you let you know right away (just by asking a question), you can save your time and see if you need this job.
And say kind words about previous employers
You should not complain about the interview at all: everyday problems, former colleagues, and especially former employers. The main purpose of the interview is completely different.
In general, if you came for an interview, then do not rush to talk about how much you want to leave the place where you work, or how inadequate the boss was at your previous job. Even if so. Better tell us why you are grateful to the previous employer and how you can be useful to the new one.
Lying in the resume and in an interview on both sides of the negotiations is not permissible. Anyway, sooner or later the cards will be revealed, and nothing good will follow. If you liked the recruiter by cheating, disappointment will be much more noticeable. Be honest with yourself and your future employer - and you will succeed!
