Subject: A Quick Note on Collaboration
Dear Account Managers,
I want to address a concern that’s been on my mind, particularly in our staffing industry. As recruiters, we’re here to support you and facilitate stronger connections for our candidates, not to act as your personal assistants.
I highly value the interview preparation sessions we set up for candidates with account managers. These sessions provide essential insights and guidance that help our candidates shine. However, I often find myself juggling schedules and coordinating times between candidates and account managers. Once we have a confirmed date and time, it’s essential for the account manager to put it on their calendar.
One of my main frustrations is when account managers expect me to take care of scheduling these meetings. I’m not an assistant, and I’d prefer not to spend my time managing calendars, especially when I’m not involved in the conversations.
I collaborate with numerous account managers, and I know you’re busy, but a simple meeting setup shouldn’t require extra assistance. Let’s work together to streamline this process!
Thank you for your understanding.

Dear [Recruiter’s Name],
Thank you for sharing your concerns so candidly. I understand your frustration, and it’s clear that you genuinely want to provide the best support for your candidates. Your commitment to prepare them effectively for interviews is commendable, and it’s great that you recognize the value of direct interaction with account managers.
I agree that once a date and time are set, it should be the responsibility of account managers to ensure those meetings are added to their calendars. This not only streamlines the process but also respects your time and efforts in coordinating the sessions. I appreciate the workload each of us carries, and it’s essential that we support each other in our respective roles without overstepping boundaries.
Going forward, perhaps we can establish a more efficient system for scheduling these meetings. Clear communication about availability and responsibilities could help alleviate some of the back-and-forth you’re experiencing. I’m open to suggestions on how we can improve this process to make it smoother for everyone involved.
Thank you again for your dedication and for bringing this matter to our attention. Let’s work together to create a more productive collaboration!
Best,
[Your Name]
