And in many cases, that initiative did get them moved on to the next round. I can even think of two cases for us where it was a matter of changing job fields and a transfer of skills that wouldn't have been captured on our screening questionnaires. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recruiter-bees-advice#post-2835099 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 13:17:44 +0000 YogiRunner 2835099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a recruiter, a simple email saying thank you is never annoying and to me shows that you care about the role. But if they respond that you’re not qualified, I doubt an email restating your qualifications would do much, honestly. And I’ve never worked for a company that would or even could keep track of rejected resumes that were not granted a phone screen for other roles. Maybe if you had an interview, but not just if you applied. In my mind it’s up to the applicant to keep an eye on the careers page and apply again if they’re that interested in the company. Hope that helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recruiter-bees-advice#post-2835097 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 13:03:03 +0000 bhbee 2835097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think for #1, it’s hard to know how they will read it, but since they already rejected you for the first role seems like little to lose as long as you were professional (which it sounds like). </p> <p>#2 I think it’s fine to reply just keep it short! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recruiter-bees-advice#post-2835090 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 12:34:14 +0000 Ajsmommy 2835090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: thank you. maybe I should change the title... :silly:</p> <p>oops, I can't... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recruiter-bees-advice#post-2835086 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 12:07:56 +0000 MamaCate 2835086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: I am not a recruiter but I am a hiring manager. I think that respectful responses that reiterate your interest in the position and are offering help are appropriate. In your case I think a thank you and offer would be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recruiter-bees-advice#post-2835065 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 10:20:01 +0000 Ajsmommy 2835065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>crickets.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recruiter-bees-advice#post-2835004 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 17:17:38 +0000 Ajsmommy 2835004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm in the process of trying to get a new job...<br /> I've been applying and receiving some responses and I'm curious about a few things from a recruiters perspective...... Anyone with insight please chime in.</p> <p>First question : after filling out some generic questions I was told my background didn't meet the requirements..... We're talking an administrative job and I've got 19+ years in a fortune 500 company and paste management experience. The question I answered no to related to having worked in this exact "field" before (specifically the court system). I haven't however I have worked in litigation and have extensive experience with courts, depositions, ADR... So after getting rejected I responded via email respectfully and mentioned why I thought I was qualified and requested they keep me in mind for any other similar positions. Was that wrong? Too aggressive? Annoying?? Or OK?</p> <p>Second question : one hr responded that they had 120 applicants and were going through them and that I should hear in 2 weeks if I move on. Is it OK to respond and thank them? Or is that annoying? My instinct is to respond and offer to provide anything extra they might need to aide their decision...... </p>
