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

[u/SuspiciousLog5554]

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.

Appreciative recruiter trying to do better

Honestly just not to ghost us, explain why we weren’t chosen, keeping the job application open for too long AND doing interviews when you are about to offer the position to someone else regardless because you just waisted the other persons time and hopes, and please do not do multiple rounds of interviews for one role! It’s not a CEO like position for just an entry level role must of the time
