An article worth sharing by Oleg Vishnepolsky (via LinkedIn).
"When you REJECT a CANDIDATE, do this:
1. Tell the RECRUITER all the strong points you saw in the candidate. Don't hurt candidate's chances to get another job.
2. Give the candidate an advice on the resume and the interview. It does not cost anything to be nice.
3. Get back to the candidate quickly. It is better to be rejected than to be left hanging.
4. Treat them with respect and empathy, and give them confidence that they will do well. They need to know they are good.
5. If you know someone else who may need them, why not help both sides.
On the last point, early in my career, someone told me they dont need me but made a call to another place (a restaurant) and recommended me there. I got the job and I can never forget the woman who helped me. And I still remember the name of her restaurant, the one that rejected me, fondly.
Be someone who people remember.
Be someone like I mention in this other shocking post: https://lnkd.in/eXDRFqb.
We are NOT our position and title. We are how we treat others. Agree?"
