Ep. 222 - Hidden Gems in the HR and Recruitment Space with Michele Olivier

“I have literally had candidates shout at me, I have been screamed at four times in the last month by candidates who said to me ‘why are you even calling me?!’ That’s a problem, because I have questions, because I was trying to give you the best emphasis. I thought maybe I was reading something wrong, so rather than me making assumptions, I was trying to help a ‘friend’ out.” Imagine other recruiters who are newer to the industry and as not backboned as Michele is.

The reason you’re getting rejected for those roles in general is that recruiters are exceedingly lazy.” - Michele Olivier
