Recruitment Tips: Do What You Are Asked For

by Pawel Brodzinski on February 28, 2007

Yes, I’m still recruiting. Currently trying to find good candidates on several different positions. It’s always bigger mess when I receive papers from people applying for different positions. I always work with candidates for one position at the very moment. Predicting that I always ask to add a reference number in a subject field of an e-mail.

You know what? About one fourth of papers come without the darn reference number in the darn subject field. I don’t get it. It’s like saying: “I ask you to hire me, but I don’t really care about your time. It’s all about me.

When someone asks candidates to do something special it probably isn’t done without a purpose. Denying to cooperate is usually an easy way to bring one’s chances close to zero. I know I’m saying obvious things, but hey, someone sent me those darn papers without any reference number, right?
