What Happened to Real Recruiting?
10 years ago, being a recruiter meant knowing your candidates.
You spoke to them.
You listened.
You cared.
It was personal.
You built trust and yes, respect mattered.
Fast forward to today?
🔁 Automated messages
⏳ Weeks of silence
👻 Ghosting (from both sides)
🤝 Fewer real conversations
📤 CVs treated like spam
In the race to scale...
- We lost the human in "human resources."
- Cutting corners became the norm.
- Personal effort took a backseat.
The result? Broken trust between candidates and recruiters.
We need to reset. Recruitment is not just filling roles.It's shaping careers, building teams, and representing brands.
Let’s bring back the basics:
➡️ Real conversations
➡️ Respectful follow-ups
➡️ Honest feedback
➡️ Candidate care
Because great hiring starts with great relationships. 🤝
