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.

Just post your salary range. Or at least disclose it verbally once the process begins. Nobody wants to to feel their new employer is trying to score one right out of the gate.

Recruiter, I'd like to know what your reaction is to the feedback. Particularly around ghosting, but generally to what you read, as trends emerged. Quid pro quo.
