After sourcing candidates, the next step is screening. Resumes and applications are reviewed to assess candidates' qualifications, skills, and experience. This stage involves an initial phone interview, followed by a virtual or in-person meeting. Only the most suitable candidates are then presented to the client.

It's a short week for me, but my diary is full with client and candidate meetings, and that is the thing I love most about my job 🤗 🤝🏼 Meeting face to face establishes strong and meaningful connections. Relationships are built on trust and understanding, which can lead to long-term partnerships and ongoing collaboration. 🧩 Getting to know candidates and businesses, allows you to understand their needs, preferences, and cultures. This ultimately enables you to make more informed and accurate matches! 🤩 It also gives you an opportunity to uncover exceptional skills, unique experiences, and hidden potential that might not be immediately apparent on paper. 🎁 Meetings allow you to develop bespoke recruitment strategies that address particular requirements within the business.

This is SOOOO accurate. Only more times than not, this news comes when we are at the offer stage of the process. Please know that recruiters are the middle guy/gals. A lot of us recruiters take the time to get to know the candidates we feel are strongest for the role. We begin to understand their personal need for the role to work out. We listen to them describe their distrust in the job seeking process, only to end up being one of those companies we shook our heads at.... Mind you the leadership swore to us that we could move forward with this role. So, we are just as flabergasted as you are. We too need mental health breaks before we can relay the breaking news sometimes. Go easy on us when we do. It makes a difference, as we are people too. #RecruitersHaveFeelingsToo

The interview stage involves in-person or virtual meetings between candidates and hiring managers. All scheduling is arranged and organized by J. Morrissey. This step allows employers to evaluate candidates' job qualifications, soft skills, and cultural fit. We administer various requested assessments (DiSC or Predictive Index etc.) to thoroughly assess candidates' suitability for the role.

I don't miss those days! That's why I switched to #retainedsearch Funny, but when people are invested, they rarely change directions. If they do, I'll be drinking a glass/bottle of Chateau Certan De May de Certan 2011 at their expense. #recruitment #hiring #recruitmentindustry #recruitmentagency #retainedsearch vs #contingentsearch 👀

But now, walking the path of a candidate, I see just how universal these experiences are. It’s a shared journey, sometimes leading us to unexpected destinations.
