3 red flags - a bad job candidate

Players Welcome! With the opening of this site, you are opening the doors are usually of human resources and office management in the United States. As a Recruiter management consultant for over twenty years of work since I work closely with entrepreneurs, human resource professionals and job candidates obviously.

My job I work anywhere from 3 months to 2 years at a company I will continue to give their company alongside people to fill vacancies that their staffjobs. My career has allowed me, in many HR departments in the United States have experienced first hand what a society wants and needs so much work into his next new employee. I also learned, what are some important hubs of human resources and personnel managers. Today you will learn step into my office and what are some deviations, or as we refer to them in human resources department, "red flags".

Work can fly red flags to many Poles. Poland mayForm of a resume, cover letter, telephone conversation, e-mail correspondence, reference or face to face interview. Some of the most red flags on the road to the candidate chooses to identify with their e-mails are on the ground. I saw the following e-mail within the closed getnailed, lazy, sexykitten, and dumbblonde hotmomma. Could be an e-mail, "says Don 't take-me-seriously" in e-mail or dot-com'Im-not-ready-to-act-as-a-professional "e-mail dot com. Spotting a red flag is like screeching to a stop at a red light, green light is never just for the job.

In the past I have e-mail whose sender addresses of the defendants have received too casually. Some e-mail, you can just go like "Ed", not "love" or "Hello" to him. An example of bad e-mail correspondence might be the following:

"If only a few weeks ago, and since we talkedI wanted to see how the search for Operations Manager wanted. I am interested to hear from you how the process goes.

My last email to you and Kelli was more in response to a call Kelli and I had to pay on, performance, etc. The current rate of pay that I have with my current employer is about 10% higher than they would like Kelli my starting point recommendation. If I had more knowledge about the benefits / bonus structure, it would be easier to make a firmDecision.

Some things have changed with the new position I took, and it seems to be a contract, rather than long-term position. If you are still interested in talking with me about the position, we can engage again. If not, I wish you continued success. "

This poor e-mail signature sending off so sloppy as:

"Sincerely, Mike"

Poor's e-mail similar to the one described above may be forwarded to me by the hiring managerwhich the candidate is facing.

In such a situation, the hiring manager and I talked about our final candidate for a position of operational management. We had chosen a candidate for the role. I verbally extended the offer to the candidate, the rejected, the candidate immediately after Which he and his current employer that HIM offered a substantial increase in compensation as soon as she heard outside the company, decided to stay investigation. We had other strong candidates are linked toand as a financial tug of war with a candidate often ends with a happy ending for the new employer, we have our first choice candidate knows that we respect his decision and wished him well in his future commitment. It should be noted that before the candidate's verbal offer has been extended to me and intensive discussions between the candidates on the sale of the company (including benefits) and this position newly created vs. His current employer and jobActivities.

There are at least three red flags contained in the email above poor.

The first red flag is he avoided looking human resources, rather than the attention of recruiters. Although I was the one who had worked with the candidate by phone screen for the renewal of a verbal offer, she turned to e-mail to the Director of Personnel. I was cc on this email. This red flag can demonstrate, self-importance, lack of respect for authority, disrespect for human rightsResources in general, or the lack of team-player functions.

The second red flag is the informal tone of the email. specify an informal tone, capable of self-importance, lack of respect for authority, inability to present a professional image and use a common disorder of wisdom and insight into communication at the company '.

The third red flag flapping violently in the wind comes from the poor sentence structure, grammar and spelling. In his firstParagraph he writes: "I am interested to hear from you how the process goes." This is an incomplete sentence. Wrote my name wrong, and a few words more about his short message. As fate would have it, is a good thing that the candidate does not accept our offer, it seems as if it grow and mature a bit 'more before she prepared to do for the role of Operations Manager.
