Disadvantages Of Paranoia

1451 Words6 Pages

Disclaimer: This article is not going to be serious, but after you finish reading it, you will understand why recruiters are paranoid beings, why we sometimes act strange, and you will find out why it’s not our fault! And if you are recruiter reading this article, do not take this article personally. It’s all in good fun. “In this world only the paranoid survive.” ― Dean Koontz There are two types of recruiters out there: recruiters working for staffing agencies (including headhunters/freelancers) and recruiters working for companies. Their state of paranoia is very similar but there are a few slight differences. Agency Recruiter Most recruiters around me start in agencies. This is where you learn more about the field. It’s also where you …show more content…

It will affect your pipeline and time to fill, because if you have “gut feeling” that at the end the candidate is not going to join your company, you are not going to stop your search. You will continue to build a strong pipeline so you don’t have to start the search from the scratch when the candidate calls you with the bad news that you already know. The longer you spend in recruitment, the less you say to your colleagues “I never saw it coming” and the more you say “I told you so.” In our life, we are candidates many times and as candidates we should be honest with our recruiters and not make them more paranoid. If you have more offers, if you are not sure if this is the right job for you, etc., do not be afraid to speak up. Call and tell your recruiter the truth about what is going on. As a recruiter, we will really appreciate if you are honest with us and I am pretty sure that most recruiters will understand. Some of them (especially if they are expecting a big commission) will try to push, but I hope that most of the recruiters on the market are professionals and will act as professionals. We understand that when we are going to look for a job, you could be the person sitting on the other side of the table and interviewing us. Be sure that you leave a good impression on that candidate so karma doesn’t bite

    Introducing me to recruiters is a rhetorical situation. The rhetorical situation is different from school, because it needs more professional explanations on why I desire the job and how I can make more contributions to the company. Introducing me to recruiters is more difficult than I deliver a speech at a school, because the audiences have a more strict evaluation standard than teachers’ standard. Audiences need to know my real work competencies, communication skills and what benefits that I can produce, and they are professional and rigid. I want to obtain their attentions, making them know that I am an excellent applicant.

Trump has similarly targeted Muslims with an irrational travel ban, pledged to build a wall on the Mexican border and he continues to taunt North Korea.

    The NSA or the National Security Agency carries out most of the domestic surveillance in the United States. Before the 9/11 attacks the NSA needed approval from a court, but after the attacks, they were given free reign to copy any data that possibly linked to terrorist activities. This led to many arguments over whether this collection of data was unconstitutional or not. The extent of this surveillance shocked many people; many civil rights advocates thought that this surveillance breached United States citizens’ rights. Because of the threat of domestic surveillance in the United States it should be decreased drastically but not entirely stopped.

    By evading the question directly, the employee candidate has set the stage for the recruiter to reject their potential and therefore reject them as a potential employee (Kreitner and Kinicki, 2013). The second example was described as a candidate responding with an answer that was viewed as being in direct opposition of one of the company values, therefore this candidate was rejected based upon lacking a highly valued attribute from their perspective (Kreitner and Kinicki, 2013). The third example involves responding to the question with a response that is considered to be what the recruiter expects to hear. Kreitner and Kinicki (2013) used the example of a candidate claiming being a perfectionist as being a weakness. This claim is redefined by the recruiter as meaning something totally different than what was originally portrayed because of previous experiences with
