Recruitment, it’s a-lot like dating, isn’t it?

Recruitment and dating…

The recruitment process is a lot like dating in many ways. How? well, the end goal is the same. The end goal for both is to find someone who?s a good team fit.?

With technology changing and evolving rapidly, online dating and online recruiting follow similar steps in the process.

1.The first stage interview = the 1st date


2.Keeping candidates ?warm? and engaged = the follow up chat, usually via Whatsapp


3.Arranging the next stage in the interview process = will there be a 2nd date?


4.Catfishing (candidates pretending to be someone they are not)


5.Ghosting


6.Meet the team = meet the Director (Dad)


7.The offer, will they accept? = will there be more dates?


8.The perfect match has been found, everyone?s happy


9.Rebate period ? sometimes, things don?t work out


10.The fresh search ? we go again!
