For recruiters who don’t know why you shouldn’t micromanage

Why Recruiters Should Avoid Micromanaging

It’s essential for employees to have the freedom and autonomy to perform their jobs effectively and learn in their own unique ways. When a manager is overly involved or excessively pressing in daily activities, it can hinder the very objectives you’re aiming to achieve. It’s really that straightforward!

How are transferable skills looked at by recruiters in order to be put forward as a candidate to an employer

I’m interested in understanding how recruiters assess transferable skills when considering candidates from outside a specific industry. Specifically, I’m curious about how blue-collar workers with diverse experiences are viewed when being recommended to employers seeking new talent from different fields.

Has anyone here ever successfully transitioned someone into a role that is vastly different from their original career path? For instance, a plumber becoming a lift technician—have you seen examples like this?

Bank Applicant with Bad Credit

Job Applicant Concerned About Credit History

After nearly a decade in banking and experience at three different institutions—two local and one foreign—I have reapplied to my former employer, one of the leading banks in the Philippines. I’ve successfully completed the pre-recruitment process and am now waiting for the final assessment and job offer package. However, I’m concerned about how my bad credit history, which has been settled except for one account that is currently under a payment arrangement and kept up to date, might affect their decision. Will my credit issues impact my chances of receiving a job offer?

EMEA Job Market

EMEA Job Market Update

As an International Recruiter venturing beyond the UK to establish my own brand, I’m curious about the current state of the job market in the EMEA region. I’ve come across numerous articles indicating a notable decline in available job opportunities from clients, but I’m eager to hear from fellow Recruiters directly. What’s your take on the situation? Any insights you could share would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

KPI Recrutement

Subject: Recruitment KPI Query

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well! I have a quick question about the KPIs for a recruitment specialist in a small IT consulting firm. Is it typical to aim for a minimum of 200 qualified CVs and conduct 40 prequalification interviews each week?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Do you think employers are not encouraging remote work only so that they can micromanage employees?

Do you believe that some employers are resistant to remote work primarily to maintain control over their employees?

In a remote setting, it’s challenging for employers to monitor every single aspect of their employees’ work. Even if workers feel they’re being closely watched, they can easily disconnect from the internet and take a break, at least for a little while.

Conversely, when employees are in the office, every detail of their work is scrutinized by management. This environment allows employers to dictate not just what gets done, but how it gets done as well!

What’s a managers definition of ’employee productivity’?

What does a manager really mean by ’employee productivity’? Because I’m convinced that the following factors definitely do not contribute to it:

• Overloading employees with excessive work
• Low job satisfaction
• Insufficient support from management
• A poor work environment

It seems like employers either misunderstand the concept entirely or have crafted their own unique definition.

Are these good signs after an interview?

Are these positive indicators following an interview?

If you could start your agency again, what would you do differently?

If you had the chance to restart your agency, what changes would you make?

I’m considering launching my own permanent staffing agency in my early 20s. While I’m thankful for my current employers, I’m eager to become my own boss. I’d love to hear any advice from those who have walked this path—were there things you overlooked or would have approached differently? Any insights for someone just starting out would be greatly appreciated!
