Real talk: Good recruiters are rare but they still exist
4 answers
shoutout to the rare ones who don’t treat job seekers like numbers. we see you and we appreciate tf out of you
Good recruiters make you wanna apply again later, even if you didn’t get it this time. Feels like they’re building relationships, not just filling seats
this is what “candidate experience” should look like. not ghosting, not generic “we’ve chosen to move forward,” just honest, respectful communication
Got rejected for a job, but the recruiter went above and beyond.
He emailed me on time, then set up a 20 min call to give actual feedback and was just super genuine. Been in corporate for some time and this is the FIRST time a recruiter didn’t ghost me or send a cold template reply. Respect to him for treating me like a human.
