Santa only rewards those who have been good so here’s a quiz to determine whether or not you’ve been a good recruiter this year.

1. Do you send LinkedIn invites with no customised message?
a. yes
b. no

2. Do you contact candidates without bothering to look at their skills and experience and assessing their suitability?
a. yes
b. no

3. Do you post fake job adverts just to collect candidates to add to your talent pool?
a. yes
b. no

4. Do you leave candidates without updates on their application for more than 2 weeks ?
a. yes
b. no

5. If you decide the candidate isn’t suitable, do you just ignore them and not let them know?
a. yes
b. no

If you answered ‘no’ for all the above, well done! You’ve been a good recruiter and deserve special tools to make your recruiting life easier – perhaps the interview suite?

If you answered ‘yes’ for all the above, you’ve been a bad recruiter and deserve recruiting pain. Perhaps you should improve your practices and make 2016 a better year.

If you answered a mix of ‘yes’ and ‘no’, there’s still room for improvement, remember to treat candidates like how you would want to be treated.

Merry Christmas from everyone at viasto! Looking forward to making recruiting better with you next year. 🙂
