Recruiter here, What would actually make the hiring process better for you?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been recruiting in the tech industry for about 5 years now, mainly for mid-to-senior engineering and product roles across the U.S. and Europe. Over time, I’ve realized that while we recruiters see things one way, candidates often have a very different experience.

I’d like to hear from you directly:
– What’s one thing you wish recruiters would stop doing?
– And what’s one thing you’d like to see more of in the hiring process?

I’m genuinely looking to better understand where we can improve, communication, transparency, interview prep, or even the way we reach out. Honest, constructive feedback is very welcome.

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts. I’ll be reading through all the comments and replying where I can.

  1. The Job form should be simple, no account creation.

Some basic details + cv + motivation.

  1. Feedback call / Email (Explaining why one was not selected)

  2. Less round of interviews (Some companies have 5 rounds, I mean how much hectic it becomes for a candidate for this much of rounds)
