As Asia's top recruitment company, we have interviewed a lot of recruiters and candidates and thought of shedding some light to the situations which usually occur during an interview.

“WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WITH THE INSIGHT OF A 50-YEAR-OLD, KNOWLEDGE OF A 40-YEAR-OLD, DRIVE OF A 30-YEAR-OLD AND

REMUNERATION OF A 20-YEAR-OLD.”

Recruiters inadvertently look out for the best of candidates with the least amount of salary expectations and remain oblivious to the facts that are important to everyone including the people who work for them.

“WE PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT.”

Saying redundant things like offering growth could be a waste of time because candidates are most often looking to grow and most companies offer that.

“WE NEED A ROCKSTAR EMPLOYEE.”

Recruiters use these terms a lot of times without realizing that most candidates would not understand such jargons.

WHEN INTERVIEWING A FRESHER: “YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE, HOW CAN WE HIRE YOU?”

Recruiters usually miss out on good candidates, who mightn’t have much experience but can bring in a lot of difference to the company.

“WE SERIOUSLY MEAN BUSINESS AND THERE IS NO TIME TO WASTE.”

Creating a sense of urgency can be a good sales tactic, but in this instance, employers can make prospective candidates wriggle out.

“WE BELIEVE IN A BALANCED WORK LIFE”, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY “WOULD YOU BE FLEXIBLE WITH WORKING

EXTENDED HOURS, AND ON WEEKENDS?”

Recruiters might want to avoid the labor love and come to the point. This can save a lot of misunderstandings in future.

“WE BELIEVE IN THE MOTTO WORK HARD, PLAY HARDER.”

Companies have the tendency to use such phrases when in reality the situation might not be so. A recruiter needs to be honest when recruiting a candidate.

“DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HAVE PERFORMED BETTER IN YOUR LAST JOB?”

Questions such as this are unnecessary. No particular outcome would come out of this.

“WHAT ARE YOUR WEAKNESSES?”

No employee would reveal his/her weakness in front of a recruiter with the fear of failing the interview. So why ask?

“WHAT IS YOUR SALARY EXPECTATION?”

The recruiters should do some research and always offer employees a competitive wage rather than paying the employee what their last job paid.

RECRUITING CAN BE A GRAVE TASK

Interviewing so many candidates each day is taxing. But recruiters have to keep in mind that “you can’t teach employees to smile, they have to smile before you hire them”.
