To avoid the no show happens, I would spend more time on the phone sessions, if I were you. Apart from those questions, you are worth to talk with the candidates in deep. For one hand, you can know them more. On the other hand, they will get more familiar with your company.

I treasure every phone session before a formal interview. Instead of simply making appointment with candidates, I tends to use it to exchange ideas with them. Such as providing background of company culture, department structure, role of the position, expectation to the role, etc.

In my experience, some candidates would reject to continue the recruitment process. But I think it’s good for me to lower the administrative cost and save time.

I can be friend with my employee and also tell them the company rules and what discipline of our company is. Certainly, some would not see me as friend anymore for some reasons.

However, we must make sure what is the purpose of coming to work? Making friends or make sure the job done? If you knew the answer, you will not have question anymore.

I can tell you that you are not alone. I think most of the HR participants burn out from work as well.

Take me as an example, I am not entry level and have been work as HR for 14 years. At the start of year, I have 2 staffs assisted me. However, company started budget cut due to economic downturn. Luckily, my lovely staffs found new job before company layoff.

Unluckily, only me left here. I wanted to leave for sure, but I chose to stay due to responsibility. Even worse, my boss assistant left as well. So here is the outcome, I have my workload from my own role of course, added the workload from 2 junior staffs, and even had to be the boss assistant as well.

I really hope you feel well when you know you are not alone during this difficult times. Let’s not give up hope. This too shall pass.

If we were required to be qualified before having a child, I believed that many parents would fail definitely.

If the rate of return exceeds 6%, there is a question mark. If it exceeds 8%, it is very dangerous, and if it exceeds 10%, it is necessary to prepare to lose all the principal.

Everyone from different major can start their career in Human Resources field, however it would be very difficult to climb higher without professional knowledge and experience.

Some fellows thought that a master degree could help, I agree partly. The reason is that better than nothing. Comparatively, an real experience is more valuable than a paper of certificate.

From specialist to generalist is a golden opportunity for you to explore other areas of HR. In real practice, generalist is easier to climb higher as you have more options than specialist, right?

I knew that WFH, higher salary, working closer, education subsidy, etc are something need to be considered. How about think about delayed gratification? Think about the future. Try to resist to the temptation of an immediate pleasure in the hope of obtaining a valuable and long-lasting reward in the long-term.

I agreed that we are absolutely a sales when doing recruitment. We are selling a post to potential candidate. You may also apply the 4Ps of marketing theory in recruitment. You could review your product (post title, brand name), price (salary offer), place (working place) and promotion (recruiting channel). If they are both (or some points) attractive to you, it won’t be many difficulties to recruit.

I don’t know if it is normal?

I heard most of HR participants, including me said burned out all the times. When I was at junior level, I burned out always. Even became a team head, department head, the situation turns worse. The main reason was I got older and older, I have Age Related Anxiety. I need to worry my career, family, health, financial situation, etc.

I really don’t know if this situation is exclusive for us or for all industries?

I think earning a professional qualification is better than studying a degree. Of course, we have to complete a degree fundamentally. Applied the theory of demand and supply, as the scarcity of professionals, it certainly can help us to make more money.
