To meet client expectations with a candidate whose qualifications are lacking, focus on their strengths and how these align with client needs. Offer additional training to address gaps and position the candidate within a supportive team. Communicate openly with the client about the candidate's skills and potential, managing expectations realistically. Highlight the candidate’s enthusiasm and growth potential, and monitor their performance closely, providing ongoing feedback and support. These strategies can help bridge qualification gaps and ensure client satisfaction.

Be open and share exactly which qualifications of the candidate raise your concerns. If you think that his strong sides can compensate for it, share your opinion. Don't try to lie and purposely hide the weak sides of the candidate. Communicate openly and keep looking for new candidates.

I would determine the most critical skills or experience the client is seeking. Then identify the exact areas where the candidate's qualifications fall short. Lastly, I would assess the candidate's willingness and ability to learn and develop. Sometimes relevant experience can outweigh a qualification but if it's an essential qualification, then I wouldn't submit a candidate that doesn't have it.

Quando as qualificações do candidato estão aquém do esperado, você pode atender às expectativas do cliente adotando uma abordagem estratégica. Primeiro, destaque as qualidades e habilidades transferíveis que o candidato possui, demonstrando como eles podem agregar valor de forma diferente. Além disso, ofereça soluções alternativas, como treinamento ou desenvolvimento interno, para preencher as lacunas nas qualificações. Mantenha uma comunicação transparente com o cliente sobre as limitações e as vantagens do candidato, ajustando as expectativas conforme necessário. Se possível, proponha um plano de desenvolvimento para que o candidato possa crescer dentro da função, alinhando suas capacidades com as necessidades da empresa.

I'm unsure why anyone would share candidates who are not qualified for consideration in the 1st place? Seems counterintuitive and a good way to not retain the business, in my opinion.
