Why Job Seekers Should Avoid Sending Cold “When Can We Talk?” Messages to Recruiters
Manage episode 502385547 series 1237950
Reaching out to recruiters can be one of the smartest moves a job seeker makes in the hiring process, but how you do it matters. A quick, vague message like “When can we talk?” may feel like you’re showing initiative, but in reality, it can do more harm than good. Recruiters are busy, and without context, they’re less likely to respond.
Recently, there was a viral post on social media from a recruiter. They were complaining that after posting a position calling for applications, candidates instead reached out with their "when can we talk?" messages...not helpful, and not respecting the process outline by the recruiter in the first place.
