The Process of Hiring and How It Works

Hello guys, This is Fratres and today I'm going to talk about the Hiring process and some of the things that you should keep in mind while going through the process of hiring. 
Being a job seeker in today’s market can be really confusing if you are not familiar with how the hiring process actually works and keep waiting for a job offer can be stressful. When you are well-informed and prepared with what to expect after you have submitted an application to a recruiter, you will greatly eliminate any unneeded stress and wasted time.

Application Process
First of all, if you apply to a position that is not a fit for your background or experience, do not expect a phone call from the recruiter.
With the large number of job openings in today’s job market, many recruiters are juggling 20 plus job orders at once with hundreds of applications rolling in each day. Good recruiters are interested in providing not only the best value to top talent they can place, but also to their clients. If your background is not a fit for the position applied to, you more than likely will not receive a call back from the recruiter. Don’t take it personally and understand that the recruiter has been retained by the client to find the best fit for the job.
On the other hand, if you are a perfect fit for the job, you should hear back from the recruiter quickly. If for some reason you do not hear back the next business day, try reaching the recruiter by phone or email directly.  There is a good chance that your application was mistakenly lost among hundreds of other applications.
Sometimes the Process Stalls
Occasionally, the hiring process comes to a halt with little to no warning.  It’s important not to take this personally and to understand that this can happen due to changes out of the recruiter’s or hiring manager’s control.  Sometimes the hiring manager may be faced with an unexpected hiring freeze forced by corporate.
The important thing to remember is that when this happens, you should never burn bridges.  Stay on good terms with your recruiter as well as the hiring manager.  Should the opportunity open back up, you could be the top candidate for that job.
It Takes Time
The hiring process is never as fast as one would hope.  There are often many interviews with what seems like long gaps of time in between.  Never expect the hiring process to be quick and easy.
Applying and interviewing for a new job is a lot of work.  It’s important for you to realize that you are not alone in the process and that communication is key.  Always keep in contact with your recruiter and ensure a quick response time from your end when information is needed or requested.

College Graduates: Ready For Your First Job?

Hello Grads, This is Fratres . Are you ready to enter the job market for the first time? Before you start going out on interviews, consider running a background check on yourself to see what your record looks like. Many recent college grads just entering the job market do so with a feeling of invincibility. It’s not uncommon to feel like the world is your oyster following four successful years at a university—particularly if you were one of the top students in your degree program. But just as the competition got fiercer and the challenges got steeper when you traded your high school halls for a sprawling college campus, things are going to get harder and more competitive once more now that you are looking for full-time employment. As such, if you are going to beat out everyone else that is competing for your dream job, you are going to need to do everything in your power to become the ideal hire. Become the Ideal Hire Unfortunately, becoming the ideal hire is only partially ba...
