A Recruiter's Life

Wrong title actually because truly speaking recruiters don't have a life
whatever they had is now loaned out to the company they are working in.

Heard about the proverb dhobhi ka kutta na ghar ka na ghat ka , well we recruiters are literally living that life and even worse

Recruiters are treated like dogs , if the candidates drop off its their fault , if candidates don't perform its the recruiter's fault

Sometimes i get an impression from my manager that if my candidate will get ill then it also will be my fault

Why should a recruiter be responsible for everything?????????

I will select a candidate who has got a good cv, how am i responsible if he is not able to attend his interview because his boss did not give him leave...

But no i'll be getting scoldings , i will be shouted upon

Similarly if the company which is hiring doesn't select a candidate , the candidate in turn will eat my head

See i am getting it from both side

Neither my manager lets me live in peace nor my candidate is leaving me in peace

So where do i go


I believe recruitment is dependent a lot on the luck

No offence to any hardcore recruiter but its just POV

Luck because you get the right cv but don't know whether it will get hit by the company
And then luck again if that candidate doesn't get an better offer from other company
Then again if he joins in the right time

The skill involved is where and how you get cv and rest all is luck

And why should I be blamed for my poor luck?

Lets see if I ever get ahead of my luck or not
