Take #Employer #Branding to the Next Level

Although I cannot relate to it, I can imagine that the job of a recruiter is very difficult. For the majority of your candidates, you have to dispense bad news that they did not get a particular job. I would also imagine they receive many emails checking status, I know I have hounded recruiters in the past. But when you put in your email to a candidate, “Generally, should you want to follow up, email is the best way.”……there is an expectation that sending an email is ok and would warrant a response. That has not been the case for me.

I applied for a position with GE and received an email from a recruiter on Oct 16 seeking answers to a list of questions. I replied that day, asked a question in my email, but did not get a response. I sent another email on Oct 19, asking if my information was received (that was all), no response. I then sent an email on Oct 29, same question….did you get my information, unfortunately again no reply.

Like I said in my opening, I can only imagine a recruiter gets 100′s of emails like this in a given day….but if you are going to advertise that email is the best way to follow up, have the courtesy of replying. Even if all I got back was , YES, …..that tells me my email got through in this day and age of spam filters and other messaging hygiene systems in place.

Regards,

Hopeful Candidate
