Just send me CVs
Every recruitment consultant dreads hearing these words:
“Just send me CVs.”
It’s a request we encounter, where companies, pressed for time, ask us to match candidates based solely on a job title, a salary bracket, and a brief description.
This week, it happened again:
“I’m too busy, just send me CVs.”
We understand everyone’s busy, us included, but here’s the rub.
Without a comprehensive understanding of the role, your specific requirements, the work environment, company culture, and more, how can we effectively identify and introduce the right engineer, the one you may have been searching for months?
Why In-depth Consultation Matters: Taking the time to discuss these details at the beginning of our relationship doesn’t just fill a vacancy. It ensures that the candidates we select are a true fit for your needs and can integrate seamlessly into your company’s culture, ultimately saving time, money and resources in the long run.
If I were a hiring manager, I’d be concerned if a recruitment consultant didn’t dig deep with probing questions. It’s about ensuring the right fit, not just filling a position.
Ask yourself – are you confident that your recruitment partners fully understand what makes someone right for your team?
