Should I follow up?

Should I Follow Up?

Hello! I recently had my first interview for a role I’ve been eager to land. During our conversation, the recruiter and I discussed my previous work experiences, and they suggested that my skills might be a better fit for a different position within the company. I expressed my interest in this alternative role.

The recruiter assured me that my application would be considered for the new position and that I would be scheduled for client interviews, with updates expected next week.

However, this morning I received an email from the main recruitment address (not the recruiter directly) stating that my application for the original role will no longer be considered. I’m feeling quite frustrated about this situation.

I have a few questions:

1. Is it possible that my application has been redirected to the other role, which is why I received this email?

2. Should I reach out to the recruiter who interviewed me? Is it too soon to follow up, or should I wait until next week?

3. How can I ensure my follow-up is respectful and not too pushy?

4. What would be the best course of action for me right now?

Thank you for your help!

LinkedIn RSC

LinkedIn RSC Overview

LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect (RSC) is a powerful tool that enables users to seamlessly transfer candidates from LinkedIn directly into their Applicant Tracking System (ATS).

How beneficial is this feature? Would it be a significant disadvantage to select an ATS that lacks RSC integration? Notably, most leading global ATS platforms offer this functionality. Do you leverage it regularly in your hiring process?

Attention Legal Recruiters: Do You Enjoy Your Work?

Should Recruitment startups invest in recruiting software for small business?

Should Recruitment Startups Consider Investing in Recruiting Software for Small Businesses?

Many recruitment startups find themselves uncertain about whether to invest in recruiting software tailored for small businesses. As someone with years of experience in recruitment, I completely understand this dilemma!

Here’s my perspective: Even as a small business owner, you’ll inevitably face an influx of resumes and may find it challenging to manage candidate information. A reliable recruiting software can significantly simplify this process. It acts like an extra pair of hands, organizing and optimizing your workflow so you can concentrate on identifying the ideal candidate. Many of these tools now feature functionalities specifically designed for small businesses, making the investment well worth it in my opinion.

What do you think? Is it a smart move for small businesses to invest in these tools?

Can a virtual interview and training assistant benefit your recruitment career?

Could a Virtual Interview and Training Assistant Enhance Your Recruitment Career?

Hello, recruiters! As someone who is passionate about AI, I’ve been developing various automation solutions—ranging from custom tools to an AI-powered resume formatting tool—specifically for recruitment agencies and my personal projects.

I’m reaching out to gather insights on the demand for in-house training systems.

My question is: Whether you’re a recruiter at an agency or the owner of a recruitment firm, do you think having an in-house training assistant could be beneficial? Such an assistant could serve as a mock practice partner or daily training co-pilot, as well as provide real-time assistance during interviews.

Learning resources could include:

• Internal training materials offered by your recruitment firm
• External sources available online (such as books, YouTube videos, podcasts, etc.)

Creating a comprehensive learning process tailored for every recruiter sounds like an exciting challenge. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Is speccing dead?

Is Speculative CV Submission a Thing of the Past?

I’ve heard from several recruiters that speculative CVs are no longer relevant, but I have to disagree.

While sending out generic speculative CVs may feel like a waste of time, there are circumstances where it can still be beneficial:

1. If you’re aware of a specific position that needs filling,
2. If you know someone who would be an excellent fit,
3. And if you can concisely convey this in a brief message,

Then the only potential drawback is the fee.

Yes, that downside can be significant… but if a hiring manager has been struggling to fill a position, they may indeed be open to considering it.

Many of my clients have shared that they would be willing to review a speculative CV if it aligns perfectly with what they’re looking for.

What are your thoughts? Are speculative CVs truly outdated?
