Why are recruiters reluctant to send CV’s?
As in my previous blog I do agree that the level of mud thrown at the wall in the recruitment industry is unacceptable. However, this shouldn’t mean that companies force recruiters to send CV’s first so they can assess them. Surely it would be better to meet the candidates face to face to identify why the recruiter presented the candidate for interview.
Companies could then build up a database of recruiters that have a high level of ability to assess and match candidates to opportunities.
If companies force recruiters to send CV’s the recruiters objective is to send a CV that will gain an interview NOT send the candidate that will be to most appropriate for the role.
Behavior, drive, energy, passion, attitude, presence and the desire to work for a particular company can only be evaluated in a face to face meeting and not on a CV.
I am not saying all CV’s are going to be wrong just direct the focus in the area that will produce the best results.
