#ReferralFriday
Fridays are for giving great news. It’s okay to reject candidates on Friday as long as you give them something in exchange for the time and effort they spent participating in your hiring process. Refer them to Circular. Give good candidates the chance to find a new job on the weekend!
Has it been a tough week? Well, good news, it’s #ReferralFriday! That means it’s a good day to clean up your pipeline and have your candidates start the weekend with a good taste in their mouths.
Help those candidates who, even though you liked them throughout the hiring process, won’t continue to be in the running for whatever reason; perhaps they are lacking an indispensable language or skill for your company, your company doesn’t meet their salary expectations, or you simply found a better fit for the role. It’s #ReferralFriday! Join our initiative.
It is sometimes challenging to find great candidates to fill your open positions. Things you might have to deal with include:
- Organizing phone and in-person interviews.
- Sharing profiles with hiring managers.
- Reorganizing your week because, unfortunately, some interviews will inevitably get postponed or cancelled.
- Handling the hiring manager who suddenly realizes they need a more senior profile.
… The number of tasks to do and fires to put out can seem endless.
How can Circular help in this regard to make your job more gratifying?
