Nothing in return
In the job description, employers do not forget to indicate the requirements for applicants, but often forget to tell what the employee will receive in return. Of course, it is important for the applicant to know what skills are required to complete the work, but the advantages of the company are no less important. You should briefly talk about working conditions, corporate culture, bonuses and pleasant things that await a future employee.
To ask for the impossible
Often, employers ask for the impossible. The requirements are so overpriced that only a superhero can come up. Which, if it exists, is unlikely to agree to the indicated salary.
Lack of preparedness for an interview
Like the job seeker, the employer must be prepared for the interview. The candidate is set up for a conversation with a professional who has already read his resume, prepared questions and can easily talk about the company and all the nuances of work. Distracted during a conversation on phone calls, reading mail and talking with colleagues is also not worth it.
No answer
It is not good to leave the sent resume unanswered. It is not necessary to call the candidate back or write a personal answer. A template letter will be sufficient, which will contain gratitude and information that the resume will be considered, after which the candidate can be invited for an interview. It is important for the applicant to know that his resume has been received and noticed.
Do not report results
Leaving the applicant in the dark after the interview is even worse than leaving his resume unanswered. The interview is a very important stage of employment, the applicant spends his time and effort on it, after which he remains in an exciting suspended state. Whatever the decision of the employer, the result must be reported.
Uncertainty and expectation
The decision to accept a candidate for work may be delayed for a long time due to various circumstances. A potential employee should not be left without feedback. Make a short call or write a letter explaining the situation.
First of all - recommendations
You should not ask the applicant at the early stage to provide recommendations or contacts for receiving them. Especially if there are no plans to check them out. A good candidate can pre-verify the availability of these people, thereby bothering them in advance. And it may be in vain. Each time with a new interview, the situation may be repeated, which is not very good. It is better to leave this check to the final stage of selection so as not to spoil the image of others.
Only about myself
Introduce the company to the applicant, talk about its activities, features of work, etc. - This is good, but you should not devote all the interview to this. Better a brief description and answers to the questions the applicant has. The conversation should not be one-sided, either from one or the other.
Optional actions
It’s rather strange to conduct a stressful interview, ask candidates to fill out questionnaires, solve puzzles and do other non-standard things if this is actually not necessary.
