GET TALENT! | #24 | Love at First Candidate
Episode 24, Feb 02, 2023, 01:04 PM
Are you ready to fall in love? 💖 But what if your candidate is just not that into you? 💔
The wooing, the butterflies, the future planning, the heartbreak…you don’t need dating apps to experience the emotional rollercoaster of finding a perfect match. It happens all the time in the hiring process!
If a company falls in love with a candidate that turns down the job, time, energy, and emotional investments can be a major setback. Ben and Danny (and Ben’s grandma?!) offer sage advice. Avoid getting overly attached to the first or A+ candidates, evaluate candidate interest, and make sure they’re in it for the long haul. If you like it, you better put a ring on it…after some due diligence and perspective!Â
