GHOST HIRING IS REAL.👻 Imagine going through multiple interviews, filling out lengthy application forms, and even submitting assignments... only to get complete silence in return. The job market is already tough, especially for freshers. After enduring the tiring and exhausting process, the least a candidate can expect is a reply. Whether it’s positive or negative, a response is basic professionalism. After some digging, I found that many companies post job openings not because they’re actually hiring, but for reasons like: - Collecting resumes for future use - Creating the illusion of being busy or profitable by showing they’re hiring - Budget cuts or restraints halting the hiring process mid-way …and the list goes on. But what can job seekers do? - First of all, don’t get disheartened; keep pushing forward in your job search. - Follow up after interviews or job applications to show genuine interest. - Research the company’s history and hiring culture. It’s a frustrating reality, and as someone who’s been on this journey, I know how important it is for job seekers to stay aware and cautious. Transparency from recruiters builds trust and professionalism. It’s a win-win for everyone involved. Has this happened to you too? #recruitment #jobsearch #hiringtrends #professionalism #career #employerbranding

Unlock Your Career Potential: Why Understanding Job Requirements is Key to Success We have noticed a recurring trend where candidates show interest in job posts without fully understanding the requirements and terms of the role. This often leads to confusion during the interview process, with some candidates declining after initial contact, and others failing to attend the scheduled interviews. As a fresher entering the job market, it is important to take the time to thoroughly read and understand job descriptions before applying. Here are a few reasons why: Saving Time and Energy: Applying for roles that align with your skills, qualifications, and career goals ensures that you are not wasting time on opportunities that may not be the right fit. Professionalism Matters: Not attending interviews or backing out last minute reflects poorly on your professionalism. It can also reduce your chances of being considered for future roles. Better Preparation: When you understand the job requirements, you can prepare more effectively for interviews, showcasing the skills and knowledge that are most relevant to the position. Building Trust with Employers: Employers appreciate candidates who are committed, reliable, and well-prepared. By taking the job application process seriously, you build trust and credibility with potential employers. We encourage all candidates to carefully review job postings, understand the responsibilities and expectations, and apply only if they are genuinely interested and available for the role. #JobSearchTips #CareerAdvice #Freshers #Professionalism #Recruitment #UnderstandTheJob #InterviewTips #CareerGrowth #EmploymentSuccess

Red Flags Freshers Should Watch Out for During Interviews: Starting your career journey is exciting, but it’s crucial to be aware of potential red flags during interviews. Here are some warning signs to keep in mind: 1. Lack of Clarity: If the job description is vague or the interviewer can’t clearly explain the role, it might indicate disorganization or a lack of direction within the company. 2. Negative Atmosphere: Pay attention to the office environment and the demeanor of the employees. A tense or unwelcoming atmosphere can be a sign of a toxic workplace. 3. Unprofessional Behavior: If the interviewer is late, unprepared, or disrespectful, it reflects poorly on the company’s professionalism and culture. 4. High Turnover Rates: Frequent employee turnover can indicate underlying issues such as poor management or a negative work environment. 5. Unrealistic Expectations: Be cautious if the job demands seem unreasonable or if there’s a significant mismatch between the required qualifications and the offered salary. 6. Lack of Enthusiasm: If the interviewer seems disinterested or unenthusiastic about the company or the role, it might be a red flag about the company’s morale or future prospects. 7. Avoidance of Questions: If the interviewer dodges your questions or provides vague answers, it could signal a lack of transparency or hidden issues within the company. 8. Disorganized Process: A chaotic interview process, such as last-minute changes or poor communication, can indicate deeper organizational problems. Stay vigilant and trust your instincts. The right job should feel like a good fit for both you and the employer. Good luck! 🍀 #JobInterview #Freshers #CareerTips #InterviewRedFlags #JobSearch #CareerAdvice #ProfessionalDevelopment #FirstJob #LinkedInTips

#interviews How many rounds are justified? Family questions are important because? We should either hire a fresher or know it all!! Cant we say we can learn and grow along? Does learning stop after x years of experience? Specialized or generalist? remote team or in office team? is there any value given to upskilling? can we be honest or candid? we value it or its a stepping stone? Work pace of candidate is judged by? candidate's #emotionalwellbeing is not your agenda? #feedbacks are fake and generalized. #interviews are as much gamble as a marriage - but people forget that these are chapters in life not the whole life. They want a match who is perfect and then find a match every 2 years!! Every answer if perfect is real?? We are constantly evolving and we all can have bad days? If recruiters are tired of ghosting its high time they change and introspect the reasons they finalize candidates - A perfect candidate will always have more options then you think. You should give chances to learn and grow for a person to value the role and not ghost you. #empathy and #feedback to candidates and overall candidate experience should be valued. Reasons should be discussed at negotiations - for more transparency. #lets make interviewing and interviews better!! Its a task for recruiters - just another profile, rage comments and rage reviews on glassdoor but - its one of the most important thing for a candidate!! #big change hence value the person behind the profile - dont let him feel bad - no one will remember names - they remember how they were #treated. #treat candidates with #compassion - it will be #magic - the HR magic!

🌟 A Humble Request to Hiring Managers: Prioritizing Fairness and Potential 🌟 Dear Hiring Managers, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share a humble request concerning our approach to interviewing, especially when considering fresh talent. When extending interview invitations, particularly to freshers, let's remember to set realistic expectations aligned with the specific requirements of the position. Instead of solely focusing on extensive experience, let's assess candidates based on their potential, adaptability, and willingness to learn. It's crucial to ask questions relevant to the role and provide every candidate with a fair opportunity to showcase their skills. Let's refrain from prematurely judging individuals and instead offer them a chance to demonstrate their capabilities. After all, providing a supportive environment and opportunities for growth is key, especially for new talent entering the industry. Moreover, when delivering feedback, let's ensure transparency by providing reasons for any decisions made during the interview process. This not only fosters a culture of respect and integrity but also empowers candidates to improve and excel in their future endeavors. As members of the hiring community, let's lead by example and uphold the values of fairness, inclusivity, and professionalism in our interactions with candidates. By doing so, we can collectively contribute to a more positive and nurturing environment for all aspiring professionals. Thank you for considering this request. Together, let's strive to create meaningful opportunities and support the growth of talent within our industry. Warm regards, Rabia Tayyab #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #FairInterviews #Professionalism #OpportunityForAll 🌟

One reason why some candidates don't get invited for interviews is that they are way over-qualified for the jobs they're applying for. #Rhealize recommends that if you are applying for jobs (and unless otherwise stated in the posting), to select those where you have closer to 50% of the #qualifications rather than 90%. This will increase the number of potential jobs where you can be hired and the potential for growing your skills. Why? Research we've conducted on job postings indicates that most employers (again, unless otherwise stated) are looking for someone with entry level qualifications for the roles they are posting. On average, employers are expecting new hires to stay 3 to 5 years in a job so that they can learn the role thoroughly. Then, if all goes well, and the person is ready they can be promoted into a more challenging role within the organization. Unfortunately, many candidates (particularly women and newcomers we've learned), read job postings literally. Those who are more literal avoid applying for positions unless they have at least 90% of the qualifications. In which case, they are over-qualified. At least in the eyes of the employer who is seeking to have a person stay in the role for a minimum span of time to learn the job. If the employer hires someone who can do all the parts of the job expertly from the start, there is justifiable concern the person will get bored within a short period of time. This is what leads new hires to quitting, becoming disengaged and requesting transfers to different jobs after only weeks or months in their role.

Hiring was going on! One thing which I noticed matters the most is your confidence and communication skills. There was a girl she had very good knowledge and she presented it very well also. Her confidence was amazing and she had good communication skills. Later I interviewed a guy who seemed even more knowledgeable but had poor communication skills and couldn't present himself before us. Due to this he was not selected. In interviews you should work on yourself along with upgrading your skills. To all those who are preparing for the interview, focus on your communication skills and body language. The way you present yourself infront of the interviewers matters the most. Apply for the companies. Good opportunities will come to you. #hiring #freshers #job #company #hr #letsconnect #interviewpreparation #interviewtips
