When lazy sourcing gets loud.

September 4, 2025

“Would you be open to relocating... to your current address?”

Yep. That actually happened.

Our imaginary candidate, let’s call her Maya, just got approached about a “dream role.”
The recruiter hyped it up, walked through the JD, and then dropped this gem:

👉 “Would you be open to relocating to [CITY]?”

Maya lives in [CITY]. Has for five years. It’s on her LinkedIn. Her CV. Even her dog’s Instagram.

This isn’t a jab at honest mistakes... we’ve all been there.


But it is a call-out:

⚡ Stop treating people like data rows
⚡ Stop sending mass messages with zero effort
⚡ Stop being surprised when candidates ghost you

Recruitment is human work. That means doing the homework. Your outreach is your brand. Make it count.
