Subject: Streamlining Interview Preparation Coordination
Dear Account Managers,
I’d like to address an important point regarding our collaboration in the staffing industry. As recruiters, our role is to support you and our candidates, but it’s crucial to clarify that we shouldn’t be seen as your assistants.
I believe in the value of organizing interview preparation sessions that provide candidates with essential insights, tips, and guidance. This initiative enhances their readiness for interviews and ultimately benefits everyone involved.
However, I often find myself in the position of coordinating schedules between candidates and account managers. Once I confirm a time that works for both parties, it’s essential for the account manager to take responsibility for adding this meeting to their calendar.
One of the main challenges I face is the expectation that I should handle scheduling tasks. I’m not looking to take on the role of an assistant, and I shouldn’t have to spend my time managing calendars for meetings I won’t even attend.
I work with numerous account managers, and I know that your schedules can accommodate arranging a straightforward meeting. Let’s work together to make this process smoother.
Thank you for your understanding!
Best,

Dear [Name],
I appreciate your candidness and understand where you’re coming from. Coordinating schedules can certainly be challenging, especially when it involves multiple parties. Your initiative to provide candidates with interview preparation through these sessions is commendable and undoubtedly adds value to their experience.
I agree that as recruiters, our primary focus should be on finding the right talent, not on scheduling meetings for account managers. Clear communication and mutual respect for each other’s roles are essential for a smooth collaboration.
Perhaps we could explore ways to streamline the scheduling process. Whether it’s setting defined times for preparation sessions in advance or utilizing scheduling tools that allow everyone to see availability at a glance, I believe we can find a solution that eases this burden for you.
Thank you for bringing this up, and let’s work together to enhance our collaboration moving forward!
Best,
[Your Name]
