Subject: Streamlining Interview Preparation Coordination
Dear Account Managers,
I want to address an important point regarding our collaboration as recruiters. While I am dedicated to supporting our candidates, it’s essential to clarify that my role is not to function as your assistant. This message is particularly relevant for those of us in the staffing industry.
I believe that arranging interview preparation sessions between candidates and account managers is invaluable. These sessions provide candidates with essential insights and guidance to help them succeed in their interviews. However, I often find myself in the challenging position of coordinating schedules for both parties.
Once I have confirmed a suitable date and time, it is crucial that account managers take the lead in adding these appointments to their calendars. It should not fall to me to manage your scheduling tasks.
I need to emphasize that handling scheduling is not part of my role. I regularly collaborate with multiple account managers, and I know you have a full schedule—but I don’t believe it’s too much to ask for you to manage a simple meeting.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to optimize our processes for the benefit of our candidates.
Best regards,
[Your Name]

Dear [Your Name],
Thank you for your honesty and for highlighting a crucial aspect of our collaboration. I completely understand your frustration, and I’m glad you’re bringing it to our attention.
The success of our candidates is our top priority, and preparing them adequately for interviews is a key step in that process. I appreciate your initiative in arranging interview preparation sessions and fully agree that it adds significant value.
That said, I recognize that the scheduling aspect shouldn’t fall solely on your shoulders. We need to ensure clear boundaries between our roles so that we can all focus on what we do best.
To streamline this process, perhaps we could explore setting up a centralized scheduling tool that allows you and account managers to see available times at a glance. This way, we can take the stress out of coordinating schedules and allow everyone involved to contribute effectively.
Let’s work together to improve this workflow. I’m committed to respecting your time and efforts and ensuring that our candidates receive the support they need without unnecessary complications.
Best,
[Your Name]
