Jeff Altman, Big Game Hunter
Job frustration?
I have been a recruiter for over 40 years before becoming a career and leadership coach. When I started with the first company, I was coached by Tom, an experienced recruiter, who was assigned to me and two other trainees to guide us in the early stages of our new career.
“Okay,” he began. “How do you know when the applicant lies to you?”
Bob said, “He won’t look at you.”
Paul said, “His nostrils will be a little smart.”
Tom reminds us: “You forgot that most conversations are done over the phone, so you won’t be able to see them.”
I don’t know, sitting quietly as others continue to think.
“Give up? Their lips are moving!” Tom said.
We all groan.
“This is the second question: How do you tell one of our hiring manager clients that lie to you?”
Gentle, I came up with my ideas. “Are their lips moving?”
“This is correct!” Tom said. “This is the third question: How can anyone tell the recruiter to lie to them?”
Before we answered, Tom said softly: “Their lips are moving!”
As time goes by, I gradually learn that everyone forms an advantage in the recruitment process. As a job seeker, you are trying to demonstrate your knowledge, experience and flexibility in the best way. It took me a while to figure out that the hiring manager was doing the same thing. I realized that when I noticed that none of my clients told the Hunter, “You know, I’m a pretty new manager. My ex was fired, and her ex was fired before that. I need to hire someone, so I don’t pick up the boots, either.”
Instead, I realized that employers all wore pleasant faces. They tell job seekers that they are working in their daily routines every day, but ignore the last three people in a position to exit because they hate being micromanaged. They told them that even if it was more like the Adams family, the same would be the people they would work with. They told them that if they join, the future will be bright, but not as bright as the fluorescent lights above the compartment.
Recruiters also lie, usually because they convey a message that a party is lying. Then come and lie because I saw the committee check disappear. I will never try to defend this.
Student job search advice
Given that you, the hiring managers and the recruiters representing you are in posture, what can you do to protect your interests?
1. Remember, not everything you will be told is true. If recruiters tell you something, remember this old saying in foreign policy negotiations: Trust but validate. Confirm with the hiring manager: “I know you’ll do X. Really?” Usually, even if this is the message they initially gave to the hiring staff, they’re happy to correct the mistakes that the hiring staff made.
2. Contact the former employee for confirmation. The former employee left for some reason. Sometimes, they are recruited to a new organization for high-paying and even better jobs. Sometimes, they leave because they are fired. Sometimes they left because they were determined and the manager did not deliver on their promises. They can tell you how it feels to be working there. Search for “staff” and company names for LinkedIn or Facebook. I know doing so helps one of my friends avoid disaster.
3. Check your future boss’ reference. Ask someone how it feels to work for him or her. They did a good job? What was they disappointed for? What is the job like? These problems can prevent a lot of heartache.
4. Continue the interview. Job seekers often put all their eggs in one basket. Once they think they are close to the offer, they step on their feet. Keep working hard to get more interviews.
5. Seek advice, especially if you’re closer to making a decision. There are many people who can help you make informed decisions, including a mentor with quality professional experience or your husband, wife or partner. No matter who you talk to, they should have a good understanding of you and your strengths and be the one you trust.
Most people think they are telling the truth, but may be lying out of negligence rather than commission. Be aware of the fact that people sometimes exaggerate when they need work. When hiring managers need to fill positions, they can easily draw jobs in the best way. Recruiters sometimes locate opportunities (and candidates they represent) from a favorable perspective.
Stay alert and don’t lower the guard without verifying that you are told it is true.
