I'm so sick of Freaking LAZY POS Recruiters

I can tell you my experience. I applied for a position for which I am very qualified. Talked to hiring manager and things went very well. Hiring manager circled with HR. Female HR made a negative comment about me to hiring manager, so I was not hired. Another position came open, I applied. hiring manager 1 ended up talking about their conversation with HR to hiring manager 2. I was in the process of being interviewed. That immediately ended. I confronted hiring manager 1 and asked what was going on. They stated that HR used the do not hire list and that my name is on it.

 

total BS. the list would have already leaked. who cares anyway? This industry sucks.

 

You’re concern is valid. When an employee resigns or is laid off from (Publicis), there is an off-boarding template that that employees superior completes. One of the questions is “Eligible for re-hire”. The superior can click the “No” box for any reason, and you’re forever in their database as a “No re-hire”. That’s it. This industry has a disproportionate amount of minimally talented, jealous, clique-ish, backstabbing people in it. Don’t take it personally. You’re likely a talented person who just pissed off the jealous sewing circle.

 

Try to challenge the system. It would start with whoever clicked they do not hire box and circling back with them to find out their feedback and to see if they would consider changing their opinion. It’s really hard to say if they even understood the ramifications of clicking the eligible for rehire box as a no; Perhaps in their mind they thought that meant rehiring effective immediately. At any rate you got a fight on your hands, and if you can resurrect your positioning that would be a nice sales success story in and of itself. Good luck

 

The person who checked for black ball list for me was no other than Cedric.
I heard he brags about doing it.

 

My comments are directed at the many recruiters who post on MedReps. I have been in devices for 25 years. I have hired dozens of professional sales representatives. This included replying to every internal or external applicant. But thats me.

Look all I ask from recruiters is professional courtesy. Return phone calls. Reply to emails. If I advance to a final interview provide me feedback. I understand the use ATS scanning. Its the de-personalization of the employment process. In a recent poll of 100 recruiters 95% said it was OK or acceptable to lie on your resume (dates of employment, job titles, and responsibilities were the top areas of embelishments).

MedReps should review the jobs posted, set up a program to garner feedback from applicants, and identify those recruiters that are giving those ethical, honest, and trust-worthy recruiters such a bad name.

Recruters, stop advancing non-qualfied candidates just because you have x number of interview slots or put forward unqualified candidates to make other average candidates look like superstars in comparison.

My concern is CF promoting their new partnershp wth MedReps.
