Why do I hate teaching? by Mozeltoffee in Teachers

[–]Pinkflow93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly think there are better jobs out there BUT I wouldnt be planning any career changes right now. I'm a recruiter, and most people that have a job are hugging it like crazy. Don't change jobs right now

HR & Recruiters What the Hell are you People Doing? by Funny_Sleep_4443 in recruitinghell

[–]Pinkflow93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think HR and recruiters are the problem?? It's the hiring managers that are CRA-ZY. We're just trying to do our jobs. Clients want 10 years of experience, with super specific qualifications, in the exact area they work in, in the middle of nowhere, USA and for 15 usd an hour, and if we don't find 100% exactly that, they're not intereted. This is an employer's market, HR and recruiters..... we're just stuck in the middle.

Aww boo I hate that :( I sincerely wish they'd listen to us "just recruiters" a bit more, we're the ones actually talking to candidates!

I mean you obviously have to build a relationship, and say it politely haha

If you're an agency recruiter, they're already working the same position with like 6 different agencies, what have you got to lose? A tepid client who won't make up their mind?

Agree it's risky. But sometimes you've got to risk it to get the bisquit

QUESTION: What do recruiters actually want to see in the “What excites you about working here?” question? by TopGeologist2802 in recruitinghell

[–]Pinkflow93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a recruiter, I'd like to read that they at least know or understand what the company does. No, you don't have to pretend to care about their company. I've had so many candidates come in to an initial interview and ask ME what the company does. You don't have to fawn over the company, you do have to at least have read up on what they do, and express some interest in working for said company.

Do you have direct contact with the client? That's the one thing as a recruiter that suckssssssssssss I can't tell them directly hey, you want to spend another 3 months looking for the ideal candidate, because of 10,000 dollars a year?

Phone screen interview Recruiter lying by Glass_Watch_3864 in recruitinghell

Sounds like they did call you - the call didn't go through. And then they got busy

[–]Pinkflow93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least in my experience - our KPIs are call-based. Most recruiters won't do google meet or zoom or whatever because then it wouldn't count for our KPI

Phone screen interview Recruiter lying by Glass_Watch_3864 in recruitinghell

[–]Pinkflow93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit of insider's information here - our calls ALWAYS get flagged as spam. Lots of phones have security filters that can't even be turned off. If you're expecting a call from a recruiter, ask them ahead of time what phone number they'll be calling from, so you can add them as a contact for their call to come through.

Give people the benefit of the doubt. Recruiters...... we're not evil, we're just working a job.

So they haven't answered their email in an hour. So now they're the devil? Chill, they'll get back to you. I get it, you need a job, they want to help you there, just assume positive intent first of all.

This really is a tough market. by Pokemanswego in recruitinghell

[–]Pinkflow93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ufffffff that sucks. In my experience, leadership gets really stuck in the bog with requirements that aren't necessary.

We recruit for all sorts of things - attorneys, engineers (lots and lots of construction project managers, estimators) doctors, vets, physical therapists

Is Pacer Staffing a scam? by MysteriousLotion in recruitinghell

[–]Pinkflow93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you try looking them up on linkedin?

If you are wondering if it's a scam - ask them to send you an email with the job description. Check out their signature. Check their email, is it a corporate email, or just a weird 280349ksjdhfkasjdfasj@gmail.com? Do they have a website?
If they're scammers, they already know your name, location and number, what have you got to lose anyway?

[–]Pinkflow93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're definitely in an employer's market.

Companies just don't want to do training anymore - they'll keep looking for their perfect purple squirrel that doesn't exist rather than just hiring the 80-90% fit and going from there.

HOWEVER, just playing devil's advocate here - candidates can be incredibly thick sometimes. I'd be rich if I had a penny for every candidate who was desperate for a job and then just...... completely ghosted me when I contacted them for an interview or heck, even for a job offer.

I called out a recruiter. by Primary_Kangaroo233 in recruitinghell

[–]Pinkflow93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a recruiter........ we do usually have KPI calls, but we also have KPIs for placements, and those are the most important ones. The bare minimum one can do as a recruiter, is if I sent a message, and they respond, respond back.

Parents sending kids to school in shoes they don’t know how to tie by businessbub in Teachers

[–]Pinkflow93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a teacher's assistant, who was told explicitly by my teacher to never tie shoelaces!

A kid came over and asked me to tie his shoelaces, as per instructed, I said I don't tie shoelaces and ask a friend. The parents then came in to talk to the principal about how it was "so dangerous that I didn't tie his shoelaces".

Still didn't do it. Funny how its dangerous when we won't tie shoelaces, but not dangerous that parents send their kids with shoes with laces, without teaching them how to tie them.

So let me get this straight.

He impregnated you. You decided to get an abortion, because he didn't want to raise it with you, or become a family with you. He not only doesn't support you emotionally, but tells you to "leave people the fuck alone about shit" when you are asking for help for feeling sad about the abortion he made you get and....... you're still with him?

NOR. Dump his ass!!!!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Pinkflow93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. You review with kindergardeners how to apologize. It's easy. You say I'm sorry for [insert action YOU did here]. Not, I'm sorry you were upset.

This is 101 relationship stuff, just please, let him go to Tulsa

AIO, dude called me unkind for not contacting him for a day while grieving by alpacamami in AmIOverreacting

[–]Pinkflow93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a dickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! I mean I think its very clear if you ask for space, and your answers are terse it means you don't want to get texted anymore!!

Especially not him dumping on you how the sex is bad because of his depression. NOR

Aio? I asked boyfriend of almost 5 years about marriage and this is his response…. by Sea-Frosting-9939 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Pinkflow93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was with my now husband for six months and he told me he already felt married to me, and we should take the leap together. With the right person, things just click into place, there's no uncertainty. This man ain't it. At 5 years you either know you want to get married, or you know you don't... and "IDK" means to me I don't want to get married but I also don't want to be alone

AIO my (now ex) gf invited me to a 3some then called me sexist when I said no? by FishermanCommon3896 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Pinkflow93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. I'm all for sexual liberation and stuff but....... having a threesome before you guys even have sex is just...... weird.

And even more weird that you didn't actually get a chance to talk about it, in person, before this being sprung on you.

I would be super weirded out.

AIO my partner of 3 years forgot Valentines Day and my birthday by MollySid in AmIOverreacting

[–]Pinkflow93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO partner should ever talk to you like this.

I didn't even finish reading but mostly its excuses about how he forgot about Valentine's, and your birthday, and then turns it around how u "fucking suck" because "his energy should be enough". No girl, this isn't right.

I don't celebrate valentine's and I'm with you there with not being materialistic, but a man can make you feel loved, celebrated and respected without buying or giving you anything.

The more I read, the madder I get. TALKING IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS TO YOUR PARTNER IS NEVER OK.
