It’s great that you’re opening up this discussion about recruitment bias!
Yes, I do reach out to candidates with the #OpenToWork logo. It shows their proactive approach to finding new opportunities, and I appreciate their willingness to connect. It often leads to valuable conversations and potential matches for roles.
Absolutely, I would proceed with an applicant who has been laid off. Layoffs can happen for a variety of reasons that are often out of an individual’s control. I believe in focusing on their skills, experiences, and what they can bring to the table rather than solely on their employment history. Every situation has a story, and it’s important to look at the candidate as a whole.
What are your thoughts on these practices?
