1: They don’t care about your needs.
Candidates continuously miss the mark. They lack key must-haves or are nowhere near what you might describe as a culture fit. Are they listening? The more important question: did they even ask? Do they care about YOUR needs?
2: The spark isn’t there anymore.
When you signed the contract and kicked off the search the passion for success was burning. The first few candidates came in like rapid-fire, but after rejecting prospects the submittals are fewer and farther between. You reach out asking for updates in hopes the fire will reignite….but it doesn’t.
3: You don’t feel like a priority.
Calls and emails go unanswered for days. You constantly see your agency post new jobs. You wonder if you’re still top of mind, or just one client on a long list.
4: You don’t feel like you can trust them.
Candidates never stick around long term. The image portrayed from the recruiter is a stretch from the person sitting at the interview table. Is this candidate really the rock-star my recruiter said they were? You ask yourself if they want what’s best for you, or simply to generate an invoice.
5: You’re happier when they’re not around.
“Going to the outside” is a last resort. You pray you can fill the new job requisition on your own. The posts linger for months before you reluctantly make the call to the recruiting firm.
