Attention Job Seekers! Are you wondering why you haven't received a follow up? It could be as simple as not answering your phone. As someone who has hired thousands of individuals, I can attest that missed phone calls could cost you a job opportunity. Recruiting 101: It's crucial to set up a professional voicemail, clear out old messages, and answer all calls. It is a waste of time to complete an application, and then ignore all unrecognizable callers. You could be ignoring a potential employer. Don't miss out on your dream job because of a missed phone call! Take the necessary steps to ensure you're always reachable and ready to impress potential employers. #howhiring #recruiter101 #jobseekers #bestpractices

As my first week of official #jobhunting comes to a close. I've learned a few things. - Companies have yet to adhere to Colorado's new Job Posting legislature that requires both Salary Range and Hiring Timeline to be posted to the Ad. - You have to be very careful when reviewing Remote postings as many of them require weekly in office time in another state. (Looking at you California) - There are not good tools to filter job postings based on necessary Security Clearance - Glassdoor is a *fantastic* tool but must be taken with caution. - Applying to jobs online really is like tossing your resume into the void, which frustrates me in particular. Why have the ability to apply online if you don't even review applicants? All together, good week! I'm refreshed, excited, and looking forward to my next interview.

Are you having trouble finding the right candidates for your job posting on LinkedIn? -have you checked your existing database thoroughly? You might just find some hidden gems who have applied for similar roles and are the perfect fit for this one. -visibility is key! Get your colleagues to like and share the post to increase its reach and get it noticed by more potential applicants. - Is the job description appealing and captivating? It should be descriptive enough to give the reader a good idea of what the company is about and intriguing enough to leave them wanting to know more. Remember, building trust and confidence goes both ways. Believe it or not, sometimes the most basic steps can make all the difference. So, keep these tips in mind and watch as your applicant pool grows in no time! warm regards, Your future candidate. #candidateexperience #recruitingtips #inhouserecruitment

Dear Candidates, Have you planned to speak with a recruiter about a job opportunity, but later changed your mind and decided not to pursue it? Please email the recruiter to let them know, or at the very least, decline the calendar invite, so they may use that time to connect with another job seeker, rather than leaving their calls on voicemail. Sincerely,  Recruiters Worldwide #recruiterlife #recruitingtrends

Job seekers, listen up! Yesterday, I had the pleasure of speaking with a recruiter who was not only friendly and personable, but also incredibly informative. I came prepared with a list of questions, but to my surprise, he addressed each of them organically. It was a refreshing change of pace, and now I'm motivated to expand my list and work on incorporating those tough questions into my existing answers. Here's to more successful conversations in the future! #JobSearch #RecruitingTips

#Jobseekers, here's a pro tip for you! After applying for a job, don't forget to DM the recruiter. It helps bring your name to the top of the list and ensures that it doesn't get lost in the growing pile of applications. There is no better method for visibility! ◽ Apply first - be aware of the job salary and requirements - only apply and reach out if both of those things work for you. ◽ Keep your message short and sweet, mentioning that you've applied and express your interest in connecting. ◽ Don't expect a response every time. Recruiters receive hundreds of DMs and have to prioritize reviewing applications and reaching out to qualified candidates. It isn't personal, it's time management. #recruitingtips #jobsearchadvice #recruiter #techjobs

So, set your alarm and get ready to hit "submit" first thing Monday morning! #jobsearchtips #careeradvice
