Eleven Recruiting’s Post

Let's talk about this!

More and more #ISPs and #MSPs are reaching out to CRG | TEC Recruitment They've all tried directly advertising on the likes of Indeed/Linkedin and the feedback from hiring managers is the same- inundated with unsuitable applications, taking them away from their day jobs. The view that there are lots of candidates in the #telecoms market- DOES NOT MAKE HIRING EASIER! Our consultants spend their days building candidate networks, so when you have a requirement, we complete the screening to meet the needs in a matter of days. All candidates know the end client and are happy to progress (we don't chuck CVs at vacancies) Hiring managers recieve a shortlist- usually 3-5CVs, all qualified and who meet the skills of the role and culture of the business. The result- CVs to interview rates of 90%- higher quality of interviews with fully engaged candidates (no ghosting!) offer to acceptance rates extremely high and time and cost to hire reduced. Drop me a message if you are feeling a similar pain- sm@crgtec.uk.com

Should companies hire only individuals who have the qualifications of the position they are hiring for? In my honest opinion, the answer is no. This even applies to the entry level positions. What are the requirements? 2 to 4 years of experience! For entry level? I myself went from my first Tech jobs as a tier 3 helpdesk technician to a senior windows server admin in under 6 years with much less experience in all areas. I have gone into every job I have ever had completely blind of what to do. To top that off, how many interviews did I have to go through? I only interviewed for 2 jobs that I have ever had and that was my 1st and 3rd IT Job. What happens when you take a chance on someone and hire them? They learn the job and gain the experience. We do not always need to be trained. Sometimes, people learn differently. In my own case, I learn the job and what to do by doing the job daily. These hiring practices of denying people just because they do not have what you want needs to end. Give us all a chance and you will see that you did not make a mistake!

A strange experience. A couple weeks back, I interviewed for a Network Systems Admin role. 2 minutes in the call, they handed me a warehouse blueprint and said, "Design a NOC." Challenge accepted! In 10 minutes, I whipped up what I thought was a solid design - routers, switches, APs, security cams, the works. Then dove into a tech deep-dive on TCP/IP, DHCP, VLANs - you name it. The panel (including the CTO) seemed impressed. They promised feedback in 5 days. Fast forward 15 days... GHOSTED. I've reached out multiple times. Nothing. Nada. Look, I get it. Companies are busy. But ghosting after a candidate invests time and energy (and gives away free consulting)? That's not cool. Am I expecting too much to want at least a "thanks, but no thanks"? Is this very common for post-interview communication? Has ghosting become the new norm? #TechInterviews #NetworkingCareers
